“It’s so easy to be nihilistic when it comes to discussing climate change - sometimes, it seems like we have insurmountable problems to overcome. But this podcast offers a refreshing and timely look at how we can realistically adapt to our circumstances. Thankful for Doug’s work here!”

“I usually enjoy the interviews and the people he brings on, but he spends a lot of time promoting himself or having his guests talk about when and how often they listen to his show. Comes across as self indulgent and obnoxious”

“5-star guests. Single-star host. It’s a testament to the guests’ intelligence, professionalism, and generosity that they suffer their insufferably smug and condescending host Doug Parsons.
