Great content!

Well-delivered, interesting subject matter, fun to take in

Jack OH-CO ,

Cleantech go-to

A unique, fun and balanced channel for cleantech news and insights. What appears to be a casual chat is exactly a great, unequaled collection of cleantech, clean energy and climate-conscious news without the usual slants and biases often found on other podcasts. Fun, highly intelligent hosts and great guests. Highly recommended.
