In this episode, host Pete Knapp speaks to two members of Just Stop Oil who have both faced criminal charges following their actions to raise awareness about the climate crisis. Anna Holland, who hit the headlines when she threw tomato soup at Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflower painting at the National Gallery, and Louis McKechnie, who was speaking from Peterborough Prison and whose actions include tying himself to a goalpost during a Premier League football game and invading the track during Formula One's British Grand Prix, share their stories so far, how they cope with eco-anxiety, and what motivates them to take this type of high-risk direct action.
