The Oatly Chronicles
A podcast mini-series about oat milk and green capitalism.
Episode One:
The Big Dairy Problem
In 1994, the world’s first oat milk company was born in Sweden. Three decades later, Oatly is on a high-stakes mission to defeat the dairy industry – by growing into the biggest plant-based brand the world has ever seen. Can a start-up from Malmö save us all through capitalism?
Episode Two:
What’s The Housing Crisis Got To Do With It?
Oatly has taken on some controversial investments in its (planet-saving?) quest to become a massive corporate success. This week, we investigate what makes those investors so controversial. Join us on a journey from the coffee shops of Malmö, to enormous housing protests in Spain, to… China?
Episode Three:
Can Green Capitalism Save Us All?
Oatly insists those eyebrow-raising investments haven’t changed its proud identity as a climate-saving company. But is that really true? In the third and final episode of ‘The Oatly Chronicles’, we investigate a piggy controversy, why oat milk is so damn expensive, and whether Oatly is acting like a big, bad oat milk monopoly. And we ask: what should we be eating, to save the planet?
