- Exceptional climate show
I've been following Dave's climate podcasting work since he was on Sustainababble, and this show is an intelligent, thought-provoking evolution of the themes he explored there. These are frank, uncomfortable, and necessary conversations that still point a way forward out of this mess.

Why aren’t we dealing better with the climate emergency? The problem is our brains - they did not evolve for this kind of threat. Solar panels and recycling are good, but the real key to meaningful change is understanding how our brains work. Step forward Dave, this podcast, and his brilliant guests.
