We all know that feeling of trying to do something meaningful alone. It can be hard. Then you team up with a friend, a collaborator, and suddenly it feels possible.
Better together.
This is The Collaborators: a podcast about friends who don’t just talk about making an impact, they do it. Two people, one idea, and the messy, real, human process of trying to make a dent in the world.
Each episode follows a pair of collaborators – friends, co-founders, teammates – who decide to do something that matters. Not perfectly. Not easily. But together.
Because it doesn’t have to be perfection.
It starts with purpose.
Pamela Hackett hosts a weekly series featuring guests who started as friends and became collaborators.
What happens when two Gen Z friends stop talking about sustainability and actually live it?
In this pilot episode of The Collaborators, TMU journalism students and cofounders of the media platform The Undercurrent, Kayla Solway and Sofie Gelder, take on a zero-waste challenge inspired by a Toronto woman who produces just one bag of garbage a year. Their rule? Don’t just report it, experience it.
For one week, every piece of garbage they produce has to fit into a single mason jar.
What starts as a well-intentioned collaboration quickly turns into something messier, smellier… and far more inspiring.
This podcast is submitted as the feature assignment: ‘individual, pilot episode, 8 minutes.’
