The team behind this podcast bring information that’s new and fascinating all the time. It’s a great source. I enjoy the fact that the podcasts are only as long as they need to be. They do play a little piece of music between elements too often though. Upgraded that please!
I’m a sustainability professional and although I really like the topics of this podcast, I think the conversations are very hard to get something concrete out of, as the complexity is so high that they often end up having very general discussions. I wish they would take point of departure in something concrete to exemplify the complex. And please do a wrap up in the end😊
Very insightful interviews with stakeholders from a range of industries. I especially enjoy hearing from people around the world, talking about how they are implementing positive change today, by transitioning to a circular economy. Keep up the good work!
Inspiring and hope giving
