Congenial host, Interesting guest

So happy I stumbled upon episode 159 where these two amiable guys discuss the Energy Star Program which, as I found out, is part of the EPA! In their own low-key way, they toss around some pretty compelling reasons to look into buying Energy Star products where I might have not done so before. It makes a lot of sense financially and environmentally. I think I’ll be tuning in to this podcast from now on. I like the minimalist production value. Those podcasts with silly sound effects, overdone editing and loud personalities drive me absolutely nuts. This one’s for me. 👍🏻
