Great podcast!

Great podcast with a very worthy mission, an engaging host and excellent guests.

Fear for the planet ,

Paul Ehrlich Interview

The questions asked by the host lead me to believe he knows little to nothing about the severity of the issues we face with climate change, the biodiversity crisis, etc. His questions were simplistic in the extreme and without grasp of the issues. If this is what we have to inform the public, God help us.
