There’s a lot to make us Yikes in this world. From the climate crisis to racism to activism and resisting oppressive systems, it can call get a bit overwhelming. Yikes is a podcast which leans into the Yikes of the world rather than letting it overwhelm us. We breakdown the issues in an accessible intersectional and nuanced way to guide us towards action together.Hosted by Mikaela Loach and Josephine Becker, edited by Finlay Mowat.Support us through The YIKES Podcast Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/theyikespodcastFollow us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/theyikespodcast/https://www.instagram.com/mikaelaloach https://www.instagram.com/treesnpeacehttps://www.instagram.com/finlaymowat Get bonus content on Patreon!
