Welcome to Roots Down, the Regenerative AF Podcast, hosted by Jamie Rosenthal, your climate coach. Join us as we navigate this journey of hope, humor, and urban regeneration.

We’ll need all the lightheartedness we can get to tackle the mess we’ve made. Let’s dive in!
Roots Down A Regenerative A.F Podcast
Why Storytelling Matters for a Regenerative Future | Roots Down Podcast S3E1
We're so excited to kick off Season 3 of the Roots Down Regenerative AF Podcast!
How do libraries, public media, and storytelling team up to make climate action feel doable, visible—and actually fun? In this season premiere of Roots Down: A Regenerative AF Podcast, host Jamie Rosenthal sits down with Amanda Densmore from Georgia Public Broadcasting to trace their friendship from CompassionCon to community partnerships that spark real change.
From a Wild Hope screening and GPB’s dementia caregiving project to the power of library spaces as neutral, multigenerational hubs, Jamie and Amanda unpack why connection + community + story is the recipe for action. Jamie shares a firsthand moment with sargassum seaweed on a Caribbean beach to connect environmental change with public health, while Amanda highlights how GPB’s news and engagement teams keep climate stories front and center.
They also dive into reaching 18–25-year-olds—think vertical video, YouTube, TikTok, and five-second hooks—and spotlight the upcoming Regenerative You Summit for young people exploring green jobs beyond the usual corporate ESG track. The conversation closes on empathy: from moving worms and rescuing bees to PBS Kids/Daniel Tiger and Be My Neighbor Day at CompassionCon (Oct 26)—modeling compassion as a pathway to planetary care.
💡 Roots Down is about scaling urban regeneration with bold ideas, real-world action, and a sense of play. If you care about libraries as community engines, youth engagement, and stories that move people to act, this episode is for you.
