  • Excellent EU policy podcast

    This has become about my favourite European Policy podcast. They really give their guests the space to lay out their ideas, and ask very good questions which feel genuinely without agenda.

What Role for Regions in the EU’s Growth Model?
Q: What role does the European Commission have in citizen engagement?

Challenging Climate Myths: Science, Media, and Public Trust
Q: What are the key barriers to effective communication and building trust in public understanding of science?
Key barriers include low scientific literacy, simplistic media coverage, and the political nature of climate science.
