About the show

Pathways is an anthology audio drama about the futures we build. Different stories, different possible worlds, each one shaped by a different vision of how humanity responded to the climate crisis. From a walled coastal city where children scavenge for contraband technology, to a Colombian mangrove where scientists disappear without explanation, to a Scottish island at the edge of the world. The technologies you'll hear about in these stories - direct air capture, rewilded forests, the chemistry of rock and soil - are real, and already running. But the science doesn't tell you who benefits, who pays, and what it actually feels like to live inside the result.
