  • Mixed bag

    Some of the episodes are fantastic! Others are hard to listen to, even with a PhD. More approachable language would be helpful for a podcast trying to bring climate adaptation to a larger audience.

    This last episode North was particularly challenging.

  • Encouraging and engaging!

    It’s so easy to be nihilistic when it comes to discussing climate change - sometimes, it seems like we have insurmountable problems to overcome. But this podcast offers a refreshing and timely look at how we can realistically adapt to our circumstances. Thankful for Doug’s work here!

  • Great guests, poor presentation

    My biggest complaint is that the conversation flows really unnaturally. The guests are fantastic and I love the range the podcast covers, I really just wish it felt more like conversations with professionals instead of interrogations.
