    This is a stellar podcast. Mike Taufel is an insightful interviewer, asking salient questions that makes the listener feel more like they are privy to a comfy rap session between super-smart friends. I have learned so much from these conversations. Having listened to a few episodes so far, I plan on delving back into the archives to find earlier ones. Great stuff.

  • Fake globalist propaganda to tax carbon dioxide as the fascist technocrats enslave the West with their one world surveillance state. Genocidal Gavin Newsom, a zionist World Economic Forum "young global leader" drained the water reservoir a year ago to burn down yet another town in Failed State California. Build back better a "smart" 15 minute city for social credit system & kill all the chickens and cows to control the weather. 🐔

  • Don't let guests run on

    I highly value the information in podcasts prepared for Climate Rising. My only complaint is that some guests freely talk for long periods of time without interruption. These guests will speak fast and without pause. The podcast can then sound more like a commercial for the guest than a teaching and learning experience. A bit more interaction please.
