    Very informative podcast. I love your interviewing style. You smoothly go from one question to another and occasionally challenge. Your interviewee is a commanding speaker and knows how to communicate his views well.

  • My favourite climate change podcast

    These podcasts regularly lift my mood on climate change challenges! Clever, fun, hopeful, but also pragmatic and market based. Akshat has a brilliant touch with his questions and I keep sending them to my teenage children because it’s educational stuff.
