A Climate Affair is a weekly environmental radio programme and podcast produced and presented by Kate Conroy for Planet Radio in Brisbane, Australia. The programme is billed as a "critical analysis of current environmental issues"; each episode includes the latest environmental news, interviews with environmentalists and scientists, and commentary and critical discussion on various environmental and societal issues. Despite the programme's title, A Climate Affair covers more than just environmental issues; as the FAQ points out, climate can refer to many things, including the "political and cultural climate of our lives".
