Fascinating interviews. Really human and graspable way to understand eco-socialist policies and strategies. Understand and organise!
Because of this podcast I’ve signed up to the greens. Shows the power of podcasting for political change, and Zack’s ability to meet the moment with humility, humour and intelligence.
I’ve taken quite a liking to this podcast and have made it a habit to listen to it each week, and so far I’ve enjoyed it, lots of great ideas and people to listen to on a variety of things
My only wishes are to talk some more about the environment, and to also bring some more people on that Zack doesn’t agree with so much, as that was a promise on launch of the podcast, but regardless an excellent little show to listen to each week and I’m excited for more! 💚
I first heard Zac interviewed on another podcast. What he had to say was exactly what I needed to hear in these troubling times. This podcast quickly became essential listening and it wasn’t long before I took the plunge and joined the Green Party !
What a show yes ! Better than Rory and Alistair
