Customer Reviews
The podcast I needed!
I’m so glad I came across this podcast! It’s so great to learn about environmental policy from a myriad of environmental experts.
Bag of d!cks
Started listening to the episode with Severin Sorensen and it’s just men talking about the things they have done to increase American inequality. Deregulation of the airlines led to the death of unions in the 80s, which has slowly devastated unions all over America. The inequality doesn’t stop there, smaller hubs are having to pay airlines great sums of money to keep those hubs open, above and beyond the costs of a ticket. I also don’t believe service on airlines has improved since, nor does the marginal benefit of having cheaper fares in some locals an overall benefit to everyone. It also just increased the number of flights which increased pollution from airports. Don’t even get me started on how many millions of birds are slaughtered to prevent “strikes”. Humans are dumb, but male humans are dumbest. And they love to toot toot their own horns while living lives with blinders on. Thank you, next.
Poorly hosted and boring
The host does a terrible job of laying out the issues and making it interesting. Questions don’t stay on topic and his personal connections to guest prevent this show from being inclusive.
Each show needs to present a clear issue, past issues that need to change and future opportunities that we can address. Then make sure it’s understandable to everyone.
