Description

On this episode of the Scientista Podcast, Monica Medina sits down with Lauren Sullivan, co-founder of REVERB, to explore how climate change is already reshaping the live music industry. From extreme weather canceling tour dates to the growing footprint of fan travel, the conversation unpacks what happens when global climate risk meets life on the road. Lauren shares how REVERB works with artists, venues, and festivals to reduce environmental impact through initiatives like the REVERB EcoVillage and the Music Decarbonization Project—including powering stages with solar-powered hybrid battery systems.Drawing on insights from a concert travel study with roughly 35,000 data points, Lauren explains why fan transportation can account for a footprint many times larger than artist and crew travel—and what that means for the future of sustainable touring. As climate-related disruptions become more frequent, this episode looks at how data, music, and community can come together to support real-world action at scale.Fans can also get involved directly by volunteering with REVERB at shows across the country.Thank you for listening!
