Community Build-up

Community Build-up

The Community Build-up is an interview-based show discussing how we design more sustainable and resilient communities when climate progress is backsliding. It’s centered on community leaders, innovators, environmental researchers, and creative people who are in the thick of building and figuring out what real sustainability looks like in their community. We’ll discuss the pressures of making change, and focus on the opportunities they see for listeners to help design a better, more sustainable future. This show is hosted by Cody Sanford, who has a foundation in environmental science, ecology, and policy and hands-on experience in journalism and grassroots sustainability. As the founder of Denver’s Community Pop-up Market, Cody creates platforms where creative expression, climate action, and community intersect. As a podcast host, Cody documents how he’s building an accessible community space from the ground up and moves beyond surface-level climate conversations to spotlight the actions that drive real change in communities. The Community Build-up is in production now. Be ready and hit subscribe on your favorite podcast platform. https://denvercommunitymarket.com/
