“I normally avoid sustainability-related podcasts, because I work in this area, and I only need so much bummer, but this one has really stuck for me. Upbeat without sugar-coating.”

“Depression and anxiety and your emotions will always take you over. Let this sink in. I don’t know what’s sadder: this is the truth or maybe that half the people I told deny it.
P.S. this was just fun to write”

“Low science, low imagination, low reporting on new breakthroughs in renewable energy and carbon capture, low signal to noise. 4 episodes. As an Alex Blumburg fan, I had high hopes and about as disappointed as possible. Skip it.”

“Good, relevant, educated podcast overall. However, I’m surprised that they (and Gimlet in general) would choose Spotify as their host if they were truly serious about reducing human impacts to climate change.
