Engaging!

Many environmental podcasts can be a little dry. Not The Environmental Transformation Podcast. Even with seemingly “borning” topics such as Why get your CHMM? Interviewing passionate experts and pin-point engaging questions results in a podcast that flows well and keeps me interested. Add to that, topics like the PGA’s environmental initiatives and this podcast is a true hit!
