  • A podcast on the energy transition

    Let Me Sum Up is exactly what I'd like to do, a little further on in my career. Or sooner, if I can find some co-conspirators. It's a chat about the world of the clean energy transition, and specifically the legislative, political and academic aspects. Luke, Tennant, and Francesca are not only experts... but mates. Their chemistry is A .

    Well worth a listen!

  • Is this the greatest sustainability pod out there?!

    This podcast is one of the most profound and informative climate change podcasts out there. And somehow, it also manages to be uplifting and hilarious, which is refreshing given how sad the news about climate change often are. I feel like this was tailor-made for climate nerds like me!

  • Fantastic - fun and informative

    Really excellent show that’s always the first thing I listen to when it pops up in my feed. Luke, Frankie and Tennant have such great rapport I could listen to them talk about anything - but the fact they talk about such interesting content really takes this show right to the top. An absolute public service - highly recommended.
