  • Gripping account of how the warning signs were ignored

    You can tell Katy Shields did her research uncovering the truth behind this story. The narrative is interspersed with recordings of quotes from key figures. The podcast really makes you think about how we got ourselves into this situation and how we can aim to get ourselves out.

  • Fascinating, listenable & salient

    Easily digestible and insightful coverage of the recent history of our global response to global calamity. Helps explain how we got here. Accords with insights from heterodox economists who have received much the same treatment as Meadows. I’ve listened to it twice already.

  • Fantastic! Should be required listening!

    I loved this mini series. I was aware of Dana Meadows & The Limits to Growth but not familiar with them. I found this so compelling, clearly articulated, well produced & easy to follow. It’s inspired me to learn more about Dana, LTG & Donut Economics & I’ve already been telling everyone I know to listen. Maybe if we all listened we’d be able to make the changes we do desperately need to.

    A factual review of the Limits to Growth and its influence upon the world now being born out in the experience of life today. Challenges the comprehension of leaders and questions our purpose on Earth. Thanks for putting this podcast together in such a direct and timely fashion. Let’s hope we, the listeners, can follow through.
