  • Incredibly Informative

    If you are thinking about building a passive house, this is the podcast for you! I am planning on constructing cabins in East Texas, where the temperature is consistently over 100 degrees Fahrenheit right now! There is no time to waste! I am so thankful for these podcasts and the professionals who are interviewing and being interviewed! We can each help in our own little way to bring the temperature down on our planet.

  • Incredibly helpful!

    Such a helpful and accessible podcast about an important and occasionally technical topic. One minor quibble: it's not atypical, but when a male host interviews a female expert (e.g., the Sian Taylor episode), the host not infrequently interrupts the expert in a way that does not occur in other episodes. Something that commonly happens, for sure (unconscious biases are amazing things), but something to improve upon! Thank you so much for providing such a comprehensive, up-to-date, and invalua... more
