Welcome to Life Raft! We’re your survival guide for a changing planet.
If you’re like us, climate change leaves you with a lot of questions, and they’re not about the rate of ocean warming — they’re about practical things that affect our everyday lives.
Each episode explores a different question about climate change, submitted by a real person.
“How can I reduce flooding in my neighborhood?”
“Have I had my last good oyster?”
Hosts Lauren Malara and Travis Lux talk to scientists, oyster shuckers, tree planters, and a whole host of other people who are asking big questions and working on solutions. And they do it all with a little bit of levity.
In other words: climate change is scary, but Life Raft is not.
Episodes come out every two weeks. First up: extreme heat.

Reporting by The Economist reveals deepening efforts by Chinese authorities not just to imprison the Muslim-minority people but also to reduce their number, to wipe out their culture and to hound them wherever in the world they may go. Yet a visit to Yunnan province reveals that the party’s hostility to ethnic minorities is not absolute.

Originally from Berlin Germany, Tim Specht started programming for fun, during high school. He had no plans to make a career out it - in fact, he wanted to become an experimental physicist. When the startup scene in Berlin started to pick up pace, Tim got interested. His first couple of gigs were in mobile engineering, which influenced him to continue to pursue startups further. Now a days, he is a dog foster-er - that is, he rotates dogs through his apartment in Brooklyn, taking are of their special needs while a good home is found for them.
In 2014, he and his co-founders had been experimenting with video and music related apps, tinkering with creation inside of the different mediums - for example, integrating with the iTunes library. And then, of course, sharing those creations with friends. They realized that the features they were creating were too complex for most users... but the ones they created for themselves - just for kicks - were the most interesting pieces of tech. So they spent some time scrapping the complex features, and centering around the short, quick, fun video creation to share.
This is the creation story of Dubsmash.
