- Direct to the point
I’ve enjoyed this podcast for a few years, but I must say I’m really enjoying “direct David” over recent episode. It’s a climate crisis and David’s reducing patience with waffle and bollox is most welcome.

United States3 months ago - Great topic but hosts soapbox rather than interview
This podcast deals with a fascinating and important suite of issues.
Sadly, the hosts are not terrific interviewers. They load too many of their own opinions into questions and don’t ask short, inquiring questions that would permit the guests to speak.

Canadaa year ago - Loving it until the Hydrogen Australia interview with David Cavanagh
Gents,
I enjoy your show and regularly rate it 5 stars but the interview with David Cavanagh was frankly poor.
Hydrogen has been the renewable darling because everyone down to the layman knows that when it burns it makes clean water H2O.
What they don’t know is:
1. The cost? (unsubsidised)!
2. Where it comes from? (the myriad of colours!!)
3. That it is also a greenhouse gas, 11.6x GWP of CO2
4. The inefficiency of production, storage, transport and losses along the way
Etc.
