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.

Philippines4 years ago - 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!
Apple Podcasts5ArlieLPUnited States5 years ago - 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.
