Three Degrees: “Comedy, Climate & Calling BS

An Iowa Native’s Journey from Des Moines to Hollywood—Using Comedy to Fight Climate Silence

🌍🎭🔥

What do Don’t Look Up, Chevron parodies, and a game show called So You Think You Can Science all have in common? Staci Roberts-Steele. The Iowan native and Managing Director of Yellow Dot Studios joined us on the latest episode of Three Degrees to talk about shaking up climate communication—with truth, humor, and a little bit of righteous rage.

Plus, hear behind-the-scenes moments from the live shows blending science and stand-up—and how one baby Jesus from Des Moines found her calling helping the planet, one laugh at a time.
