Beyond boring.
Doomist, alarmist,realist? Interesting episode. A person who warns people of the imminent danger - who doesn’t think we are doomed yet like the doomists do, yet think that if action isn't taken, we will be doomed. A realist hopes for, or accepts only what seems possible and does not hope or expect more. A good mix of all three I think.
This podcast allows us into the lives of a range of people who open up to Konrad so easily. He's an excellent journalist and conversationalist. Love it!
- everyone should listen to this podcast. Extremely interesting and informative. I especially loved his facts on breastfeeding.
This is a great series, but I particularly liked the episode of debunking milk myths. Informative, science based information and presented in an easy to understand manner. Unfortunately the presenter missed the opportunity when it came to minimising food waste to call on Matthew Evans to call on many restaurants to reduce portion sizes and thereby minimise their waste. A small point but an important one I feel
