  • Great podcast

    Just listened to the episode on Li-Cycle lithium ion battery recyclers from Ontario, Canada. Dianne has such a pleasant, smart interview style. I really felt like I got to know Ajay Kochhar (CEO) and the story of the creation of this important battery recycling company. Great stuff!

  • Great interviews featuring Canadian companies fighting climate change

    Love the podcast! I am thrilled to learn about all the Canadians working to improve the environment with their amazing companies and technologies.

    My only critique would be that the introduction music and dialogue is frankly too low key and boring. The introduction is not reflective of the overall quality of the podcast.
