Join us in-person to celebrate BUZZKILL in Manhattan on Mar. 3

Join us at Civic Hall, 124 East 14th Street New York, NY 10003, on March 3, 2025 at 6:30pm.

We are thrilled to celebrate BUZZKILL, our new limited series podcast, with our community of supporters, readers and listeners, and enthusiasts.

BUZZKILL, a six-episode narrative podcast, takes you past the familiar terrain of the pollinator crisis, exploring the full scope and scale of the problem. BUZZKILL reports on the threat to our food system, explores how it fits into the larger biodiversity crisis, and makes compelling arguments about what we can do about it.

Join us for a VIP pollinator-themed reception with substantial bites and drinks followed by an engaging conversation with journalist Teresa Cotsirilos, BUZZKILL host, and Theodore Ross, FERN Editor-in-Chief, along with some special guests.

Producing high-quality, engaging audio series is extremely time consuming and expensive. We rely on our FERN community to support our work.
