However this podcast is difficult to listen because they’re always talking over and interrupting each other. As someone who works in the climate field, I don’t appreciate their seemingly...”Read full review »

“I just finished your book. Thanks, very scary but still a window of hope. Five stars for both the book and the podcast. I will try to share each. I am sure I have made a mistake. Please, know that the April 24th episode is the first in long time that felt something resembling optimism. Again.”
