Better with Scientists

The episodes where we speak with scientists vs book authors or lawyers are defiantly better.

Población Latina

Que interesante que estén presentando entrevistas en español, que la población latina pueda entender y buscar la forma de aportar con ideas y soluciones a la problemática climática en general. Esperemos que se extiendan las entrevistas a presentaciones en general sobre esta temática tan controvertida pero necesaria para la sobrevivencia de nuestro planeta.
