The podcast will feature previous youth desk officers Donnabel Hintural and Ann Valerie Gillado for the episode “Blast from the Past towards a Sustainable Future” to talk about the various initiatives of ERDB Youth program. For the second episode, Joel Chester Pagulayan of Oxfam Pilipinas and Alyssa Gabrielle Camacho of UP Ecology and Systematics Major Students Society explores the different ways for the youth to get involved in environmental problems.

There is also a special episode on the role of women and the environment that will feature Miss Earth Canada 2022 Jessica Victoria Cianchino.
