“Climate change IS solvable!!
Please interview Glen Merzer.
He has written a very important book, Food Is Climate. He is a great interviewee. He has written for television. He has done standup.”

“Too much of this devolves to sloganeering, ranting affirmations and simplistic, unchallenged assertions by people with pretty shaky credentials. The idea is laudable, the guests are well-intended, but we found it fairly basic and pointless.”

“With so much negativity in the world, I love the perspective of this podcast. Solvable does a great job of addressing real problems that we are facing, but from the perspective of finding solutions instead of getting trapped in the chasm of the problem. And BONUS, the host, Ronald Young, Jr. is...”Read full review »

If we want a more hopeful future as a species. These interviews offer inspiration and a fresh perspective to age-old problems. To...”Read full review »

“I like to leave my mind open to new possibilities, but this podcast on climate change only made me more stupid. Not a single truth was spoken within the first 10 minutes and I had to discontinue listening. You can’t solve anything with lies and nonsense.”

“Coming from Pushkin, the Publisher of the exceptional podcast “Revisionist History”, I was expecting this show to be similar, but was disappointed.
This is an interview show for authors to promote their new books.”

“Email hacking as a comparator? Come on. It would have been better with some selectivity rather than “everything can be wrong and we’ll never know” approach, not too different from Trump’s arguments regarding mail-in ballots”

Also, someone commented a few months back that the host’s lisp is too pronounced and distracting....”Read full review »

“A low depth look at issues and solutions you have probably heard of like confederate statue removal, “X” prizes, and micro loans.
Pretty good if you haven’t heard of these solutions before.
Not as informative as I had hoped.”

“I have limited time to listen to good podcasts. When I see something new and interesting I put it through a harsh test: I look for a challenging episode to see how well they handle the topic. In this case I chose the episode on climate change. I thought, "Wow, they're going to...”Read full review »

“Gave it a go because o Gladwell involvement, however the 2nd episode kicks off with a bizarre claim of a so called populist government in Australia (?!?). Absurd proposition, completely undermined the show credibility.”
