Excellent resource; now a non-profit!
As someone who is an information sponge and always on the lookout for opportunities to further engage on climate adaptation, I must say the America Adapts podcast is among the best climate adaptation resources out there – and comes in a welcome format that I can listen to at any time (in the car, at home, on the commute, even during a slow day at work). Just as Dr. Jesse Keenan remarks in one of the episodes, America Adapts provide some great educational content in a way that doesn’t feel like a lecture. It also doesn’t hurt that you can listen at 1.5x speed and hit the 15-second rewind at any given time (where was that in school?)… While I love EcoAdapt’s CAKE database and the Georgetown Climate Center’s Adaptation Clearinghouse, I know personally that one can certainly exhaust themselves with too much reading material, so it’s nice to have something just as technical that is easy listening. It also fills a void in the podcast realm, where other standout climate podcasts typically focus on mitigation and daily news stories, rather than the consistent day-in-day-out grind of adaptation. As a young professional trying to break into the field of climate adaptation, I particularly appreciate that the host speaks to some of the challenges for youth in breaking into a newly formalized profession (although adaptation itself is nothing new) and that America Adapts continues to book guests that expand the range of topics considered. Looking forward to seeing where America Adapts goes as a non-profit, it is definitely well deserved recognition and opportunity.

Climate science is a hot topic in geo-science today. I can definitively say that Doug serves the topic well. He bring guests and questions that are well thought out.

My biggest complaint is that the conversation flows really unnaturally. The guests are fantastic and I love the range the podcast covers, I really just wish it felt more like conversations with professionals instead of interrogations.

Great podcast with thorough information. Would highly recommend. My only complaint is that the host tends to talk for a long time during his introductions. Would appreciate it if he tried to speed up a little.
