  • Important conversational deep dives

    As a relative newcomer to sustainability work, this podcast has a really nice spread of guests offering work-based and personal insights which have helped me get across who’s who in the sector and offered a deeper look into various fields. For sustainability practitioners, the work is often personal and I like the way the interviews don’t shy away from recognising the more existential questions around finding meaning, balance and purpose.

  • Like overhearing a fascinating conversation

    The ebb and flow of the conversations between Nathan and his guests feels less like a traditional interview and more like a thoughtful, authentic and vulnerable back and forth between smart purposeful friends exploring ways to navigate the most important and difficult challenges of our time.

  • Podcaster has very poor interview skills

    I just finished listening to the podcast with Erin Billman. A very poor interview. I wished the interviewer had let her speak. He constantly cut her short and then went on to pontificate with his own views. Tedious and frustrating. I was interested in what she might of said not the interviewer using her as a platform for his commentary. I was left frustrated and annoyed.

Project Homes to PassiveHaus with Andy Marlow - Australia’s Housing Need a Fix

By delivering controlled indoor environments with reliable ventilation and minimal moisture issues, PassivHaus reduces condensation and mold risk, supports healthier air quality, and maintains comfortable temperatures, improving occupant health.
Project Homes to PassiveHaus with Andy Marlow - Australia’s Housing Need a Fix
Q: What are the five principles and why must they work together?
The five principles—insulation, windows/shading, air tightness, thermal bridges, and ventilation—form a holistic system; addressing only some while neglecting others leads to poor performance or failures in achieving the health and comfort goals.
Project Homes to PassiveHaus with Andy Marlow - Australia’s Housing Need a Fix
Q: What is PassivHaus and where did it originate?

The God We Made - Anna Goldsworthy Wants To Know Why We're Building A Future No One Wants To Live In
Q: How do you see education changing in the AI era, particularly in music education?
Education should remain human-centered, emphasizing community, mentorship, and embodied learning; AI can augment instruction but cannot replace the irreplaceable value of in-person, hands-on guidance and the social context of learning.
Beyond Box Ticking And Addressing Competency Greenwashing - Alexander Pui Wants You To Care
Q: What should practitioners actually do to prepare for the next climate-driven risks?
Treat risk management as a continuous, multi-layered process: integrate forward-looking climate scenarios, diversify and stress-test portfolios, use both traditional risk tools and innovative instruments like catastrophe and parametric bonds, and push for greater transparency in methodology and outcomes to inform decision-making beyond quarterly targets.
