Good intentions that fall short
You'll love this podcast if you think "OMG" counts as policy analysis, "climate journalists" count as technical experts, correlation implies causation, raising awareness is a solution, etc. The 2 well-intentioned hosts ignorantly discuss simplistic solutions to climate change based on discussions with "influencers", politicians, and other people with over-simplified (or fundamentally deficient) understandings of both science and policy. The hostess often refers to her policy-wonkiness and her love of "geeking-out" on technical details, but there's no evidence of either. I admire their good intentions, but they're pretending to do something consequential on an urgent topic by producing infotainment in service of quasi-informed slacktivism. There's simply very little of actual value here.Read full review »

The trailer is awesome and I’m so excited for the dream team of Ayana and Alex!

Strikes the right balance between hope and concern, big picture and concrete steps. There are things we can do and we gotta do them now. Listen to both become more informed and learn how to take action.

The first episode alone somehow covered the challenges of communities transitioning away from coal industry, the rise of fracking, the history of offshore wind in America, NIMBYism, and the foundational physics of electricity generation, all within a compelling story. I can’t wait for more!
