  • Vital information presented with self deprecating humour

    The central theme is that humans - in particular those who live in Britain - need to have abundant clean energy with affordable housing and excellent public transport in order to make the best of their lives.

    Oh, and save the planet as a bonus.

  • This has become my essential Monday morning listen

    Really great podcast that takes you through the insanity of current planning laws in the UK that are hindering growth and development, from bat tunnels, to NIMBY local councillors imposing ridiculous restrictions on access roads, to councils refusing to engage in fixing a private road that featured in the local plans. Absolute must listen to understand why many think Britain is broken planning wise, but also how to fix it.

  • Excellent Ep on AI

    So wonderful to hear a conversation that deals with the technical limits of LLMs while acknowledging how useful they can be. A relief after listening to lots of polarised coverage that doesn’t dig into the nuance. Thank you!

  • Challenging in the best way

    James & Martin are always very good value, here focused on an important agenda, providing challenge, detail and humour that makes you think. With good quests and useful links, this is strongly recommended. Does need a bit more PAF though …
