Amy Westervelt’s Drilled Joins the Pushkin Podcast Network
Pushkin Industries today announced that it will begin distributing Drilled, a non-fiction podcast series centered on climate change accountability. The show joins Pushkin’s thriving independent podcast network alongside the likes of Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History, The Happiness Lab from Dr. Laurie Santos, and Jonathan Goldstein’s Heavyweight. A new series of Drilled is set for an April 21 release.
Hosted by award-winning investigative climate journalists, the show exposes how corporate greed, political operatives, and PR firms built decades of climate denial and delay. Each season unravels new evidence of deception, disinformation, and the power structures keeping real climate solutions out of reach.
Drilled began in 2017 as an independent project by investigative journalist Amy Westervelt to explore the forces exacerbating the global climate crisis and grew into an ongoing investigative audio endeavor, later joined by a popular website and newsletter, and supported by even more investigative and climate reporters, editors, and producers. Over the course of 14 seasons, Drilled has also won numerous awards for storytelling and impact, including Best Radio Podcast Series at the Covering Climate Now Awards, Excellence in Audio Storytelling at the Online News Association’s awards, and Best Green Podcast in the iHeartMedia Podcast Awards.
“I’ve always appreciated Pushkin’s commitment to well-researched and well-told stories, and am thrilled to see Drilled in such great company,” said Westervelt of joining Pushkin.
“Drilled is one of the most fearless and impactful investigative podcasts produced, and we’re proud to welcome it into our network,” Gretta Cohn, Pushkin’s CEO, echoed.
Westervelt will collaborate with Pushkin to distribute Drilled on all podcast channels as well as to explore multi-format adaptations of her work.
