How can we find common ground with people bombarded with so much disinformation? Trump has spent the better part of the last ten years undermining our scientists, medical professionals, journalists, teachers, our justice department and courts. He has lied incessantly. And now no one believes...Read full review »

Great to hear that the overly confident Republican rolled their eyes at the suffering and, in many cases deaths, of people living in environmental justice communities, with the host doing absolutely nothing about it.

It’s so sad that no matter where we go for political informed opinion and hopefully fact based reporting we run into bipartisan panels not unlike this one that give a pass to the republican who uses disinformation, negative vibe rhetoric and “the other side does it too so why are you picking on...Read full review »

I’m loving that Emily joined the show! I’m a big government liberal and appreciate hearing the perspectives from someone with a very different world view. I look forward to using these conversations to get a sense of how an influential person on the right thinks about climate and what arguments...Read full review »

For those following climate related developments in the US, this podcast offers a much needed perspective.
Charlie SC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/22
Love the fun banter interspersed with thoughtful insights from this crew - their show really covers the waterfront for climate politics, tech innovation, and sustainable business trends. Really draws you in, and it’s paced well.

Discussions are clear, informative, well prepared. Keep up the good work :-)

The perfect podcast for new learners in the sector as well as more experienced people as well in order to grasp the current conversations in the industry!

I’ve been listening since the beginning and always come away inspired and informed. Thank you. I hope you find your way back to a place where you can keep this going!

And a reassuring proof that there are good thinkers and doers on both sides of the political spectrum.
DanielEnergy via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 12/31/20
So great to find a podcast that covers recent news and how it impacts past, current and proposed climate legislation. I look forward to every new episode. One tweak that would be worth making is for better prepared hard hitting questions for their guests. The hosts more often than not let guests...Read full review »

Both Democratic (like me) and Republican voters listen to this show because they want to hear civil discussions related to climate change and have hope for a path forward. On a few recent episodes it has seemed that Brandon cares more about scoring petty insults on conservative guests than...Read full review »

A truly bipartisan, open minded conversation around climate - I recommend this show all time to anyone looking to expand their understanding of ‘the other side’ and how we can provide unified support to climate solutions.
lauraediez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/20
I can’t say enough how much I enjoy and appreciate this podcast. It’s definitely my favorite! I have been working in the solar industry for nearly 15 years and had given up hope that republicans care about science and climate. This podcast has shown me that that vision is flat out wrong (for the...Read full review »

Was really disappointed it the most recent episode with Benji Backer. Brandon’s tone was hostile, rude, and dismissive. I haven’t heard this podcast treat a guest as badly as it did in this episode. If the podcast/Julia is going to allow guests to be treated this way, especially when the...Read full review »

Well curated, smart, diverse and no softballs.
ialhusseini via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/20
This show has an excellent format and it’s three bi-partisan hosts are great. I love getting Julia’s, Shane's, and Brandon’s perspectives every week on critical climate stories. Also, very impressed with the mini-spinoffs, like “Build Back Better” and “Ditched” that Julia keeps rolling out!...Read full review »
Claire_B_HOU via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/20
I’ve learned a lot from Political Climate. Julia Pyper and Brandon Hurlbut are 2 of the smartest people in the climate movement and are full of great insights. Shane Skelton seems like a good guy, and he’s gotten noticeably smarter since Season 1. I also really respect that he’s one of the only...Read full review »
Tim Hade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/20
The best, most thoughtful podcast on the intersection of energy, state/federal policy, and climate. I’ve listened for years and can attest to the quality of hosts and guests. I particularly appreciate that this show features input from both left and right perspectives, which really sets it apart...Read full review »

I began listening a couple of months ago, and have found it to be full of great, knowledgeable discussions around climate and politics. Keep it up!
stay curious jake via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/20
Fresh perspectives from both sides coming together around important environmental issues. We need more podcasts like Political Climate!!
Ears la via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/20
I love the bipartisan nature of this podcast. Found it because they were on the Nori Reversing Climate Change podcast. Good balanced debate, really thinking about issues and respect. I feel like all three speakers really listen to each other and their guests. I really really appreciate that. A...Read full review »

Desperately needed balance equals solutions we can actually envision being implemented.

An Informative, timely, and unique climate podcast!
EdwardMoore7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/20
Always informative and relevant. A great way to keep up on developments in the policy and politics of addressing the crisis of climate change.
O. Kevin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/20
I’m hooked, after listening to just one or two episodes. The hosts are invested in speakers and programming that are high-quality and timely, and they work well together to produce interesting conversation. Even if you know little to nothing about energy and environmental issues, I recommend that...Read full review »

I am so grateful to this show for keeping me informed about climate issues! As a climate activist I really appreciate the timely info weekly! Thank you!

This podcast is a great way to stay up to date with what is happening in the overlap between climate/energy and US politics. By having a variety of perspectives on the show (many of which I disagree with), Political Climate discusses and analyzes what motivates different actors in the political...Read full review »

As a professional in the energy industry these folks are my go to for the latest news. Quality content, guests, and discussion in the world of energy politics.

Smart hosts and guests
GfoxW via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/23/20
In the age of tribalism and partisan cacophony, this show is a breath of fresh air delving into how differences in values leads us towards different policies. But more perhaps importantly, how we can see the best in the other side and bring about bipartisan solutions to the most challenging...Read full review »
isurusen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/19
I really wanted to like this podcast and stuck with it for the first season and then some...but without more of an intentional effort to incorporate female and POC perspectives, Political Climate is inevitably stuck in its own status quo echo chamber. Pyper-you don’t need these guys...
Alliebomba via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/19
I love your show! I have to say that I was a little annoyed at Shane on the last episode. He doesn’t seem to understand a simple cause and effect. Children are angry and striking because those in power - especially Republicans but Democrats too (take NJ Governor Phil Murphy as an example) -...Read full review »

I listened to this podcast for a bit and enjoyed a lot of it. I think the host does an especially good job. I find the republican on the show pretty annoying though. Not because of his political stances, but because of his approach to the conversation. He’s often uninformed, blames democrats for...Read full review »

I wanted to learn about the climate crisis and how I can make changes in my life. I found the podcast to be very informative and helpful. I like that it presents multiple and different point of views on this issue. the discussion is civil, thought provoking and inclusive of everyone’s thought....Read full review »
SAgosto83 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/19
The Republican side (Shane) clearly argues in bad faith almost every episode, and when confronted with facts, backs into a corner or blames someone else. I listened to about 20 episodes but ultimately had to stop because he’s so negative, defensive, and petty. Honestly this show would be better...Read full review »

As a center right voter this is the information we need to hear! There is so much propaganda out there to wade through. This podcast is such a good source to hear both sides of current politics to guide opinions. Keep up the good work!
Hibsize :) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/19
This podcast is a breath of fresh air... and we NEED this sort of discussion to help move forward so that our descendents will have fresh air to breathe. Why can't the DC politicians show the bipartisanship that is so engagingly demonstrated by Brandon Hurlbut and Shane Skelton? Let's...Read full review »

These folks do a fabulous job of creating bipartisan, civil, fun dialogue about this tremendously important issue. Keep it up!
asbertyb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/19
OVERVIEW: I had high hopes for this podcast as a thoughtful conversation about climate change with one person with a politically left-leaning perspective and the other with a politically right-leaning perspective along with a moderator. I have listened to every episode of this podcast. What I...Read full review »

This podcast brings both sides of the aisle together over an issue that connects us all as humans! It is very nuanced in it’s approach, highlight the success and shortcomings of climate change policies. Excited for the next one and can’t wait for season 2!
Gbird393 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/18
Super interesting show that gives insight to many of the most intriguing questions of today; climate, politics, Democrats and Republicans. And it’s also fun! Highly recommended.
twahlund via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 11/10/18
I’ve listened to this podcast for a few months now. It’s great to hear Shane’s views, although I don’t often agree. The dialogue is good and communication seems to be the only way we will effectively fight climate change. Shane, make sure some of your colleagues jump on climate solutions bill...Read full review »

My first time ever writing a review, it's that bad. This is a great premise for a podcast, but tremendously frustrating to listen to. Shane is meant to be the enlightened R, but had little to offer in critique of his party that has gone off the rails on climate and no constructive solutions...Read full review »
Bill 197 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/18
I’m also Canadian (seems like this podcast appeals to a lot of us north of the border?) but the civil discourse shared from all sides in this podcast is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR. Amazing way to see where climate policy fits on all sides of the spectrum, and help us understand each other a bit...Read full review »
