“If you’re not one of the top 1% that oil wealth scion Tom Rivett Carnac thinks/feels we all must be in, understand that the shallow nostrums offered by this apologia for capitalism are not the answer. Revolt is. And the TEDified O&Oers of this world are the very enemy we must...”Read full review »

“Like listening in on a conversation by three brilliant friends with up-to-the minute facts and information on all of the most pressing issues and events on climate and environment.
This podcast goes deep. It is equal parts fun and fury. Great interviews, engaging hosts, lots of information.

“I was writing this for a survey, and realized it was really a podcast review:
In the past 2 years, I have moved from despondency about climate change, to an excitement for action. Outrage + Optimism is a huge part of this, along with Molly Wood's Sunday "VC Sunday School" podcast...”Read full review »

“I stopped listening after the episode given to a friendly chat with Zac Goldsmith, someone who ran a racist election campaign. Until then I found the podcasts regularly informative but, despite the best efforts of Christina, too often a presenter-fuelled Britchat, and I say this as a Brit.”
