Carbon Valley

Fascinating and timely subject, with scientific, cultural and economic implications. There’s a lot to cover, but the host/producer is preoccupied with turning it into a personal journey story. He arbitrarily chooses one contender for the carbon capture prize who happens to resemble the host himself, and obsesses on that character at the expense of considering the other scientific teams. He inserts pregnant pauses throughout discussions, literally adding them to interviews when the interviewee does not pause sufficiently to the host’s liking. I was tempted to speed up the playback just to get through this faster. Challenging

I really enjoyed the approachable style exploring a complicated subject. The very personal storytelling kept me interested. I binged it over a few days. Thanks for the intriguing narrative and shedding light on crucial local issues in Wyoming.

This has become one of my favorite podcasts of the year!! Whether you’re an expert on the young carbon capture industry or have never heard about it — Cooper McKim will take you on a personal storytelling journey to explore the potential of this promising technology, and what it means for the environment and the small town economies across Wyoming. It’s beautifully narrated, very well balanced, warm and insightful. It will definitely leave you wanting to hear more. 👏👏👏

Cooper McKim and the WY PBS staff including Melody Edwards did a wonderful job explaining the complicated process of carbon capture and reuse. I listened to it in one day! Well done!
