  • Very informative

    Even without a scientific background in Extractivism, the podcast is really interesting. A must-listen as it is a topic influencing so many areas of our lives and results from so many aspects of our modern lifestyle.

  • Excellent podcast about an important topic

    Extractivism is something that has been below my radar despite my interest in global conservation and politics. I highly recommend this well-done podcast, which features interviews with experts who shed light on an important subject that is unfamiliar to many of us.
