Fascinating
Not my usual choice in podcasts but I am impressed. I listened on the recommendation of a trusted friend and I have not been let down.
The stand out? Not just an interviewer asking questions but an interviewer with vast experience of the topic so that the podcast quickly becomes a conversation between two experts. That’s quite an achievement!
Second stand out? The style is entertaining and detailed enough to be engaging without being too deep in the weeds as to leave the “newbie” confused and reaching for the off button!
In a world of podcast choice “Leaders in Cleantech” should be on your subscribed list!
