Ethan Brown is a graduate of Boston University, where he studied Environmental Analysis & Policy and Film & Television. Ethan was never outdoorsy growing up, but after studying climate change, he felt compelled to use his comedy writing experience as Editor-in-Chief of his high school and college satire publications to make climate entertaining. During quarantine, Ethan launched The Sweaty Penguin. The podcast has now released 120 episodes, amassed 20,000+ downloads, showcased professors from eleven countries, partnered with PBS, and was a 2022 Webby Honoree. Through writing and podcasting, Ethan aims to make climate less overwhelming, less politicized, and more fun.
