We're examining the recent "trend" of so-called "Last Chance Tourism" in this episode, which is when travelers seek out places or sites that are likely to be destroyed or rendered utterly unrecognizable in coming years as global warming takes its toll. We explore the paradoxes of this phenomenon, which claims to raise awareness and thus increase "advocacy" while at the same time contributing to the very destruction this raised awareness is supposed to prevent. To wrap things up we also discuss Danny Boyle's 2000 film The Beach (based on the novel by frequent pod topic Alex Garland) which also deals with a form of paradoxical tourism whereby one is able to discover oneself only through a perfect flight from the world.
This episode contains spoilers for The Beach.
