Is your feed full of wild weather, climate headlines, and a barrage of hot takes? Same. I'm meteorologist Johanna Wagstaff, and on our podcast, What on Earth, my team and I break down the actual science behind the news. We unpack the big climate and weather stories, explore and scrutinize real solutions, and reveal a little wonder about our planet along the way. No doom scrolling, no judging, just facts you can trust.

Find and follow What on Earth every Saturday wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC podcast. Welcome to Ideas. I'm Nala Ayed. How would you define what it means to think well?
