I wanted to learn about the environment and how it affects climate and food delivery systems but this show focuses more on the credentials and work experience of the guests which serve no real purpose.

Canada3 years ago - Poorly hosted and boring
The host does a terrible job of laying out the issues and making it interesting. Questions don’t stay on topic and his personal connections to guest prevent this show from being inclusive.
Each show needs to present a clear issue, past issues that need to change and future opportunities that we can address. Then make sure it’s understandable to everyone.
