Inspiringly Wonderful!

The podcast gives one hope for change that is taking place all over the world. And so lovely just to hear Cate Blanchett’s beautiful voice!

We all should do more to help out wherever we can to save our planet while we still have time.

A great podcast to give you hope and inspire you to do something as well!

Inspiring AF!

Can’t emphasize enough how much it warmed my heart to hear Cate Blanchett drop F bombs! As a fellow mother with eco anxiety I found it super appropriate. I would love to watch a mini series on this, especially the case studies of people inventing incredible solutions to the climate crisis!

Sparks curiosity, hope, and new ideas!

Danny and Cate are great together. I feel their conversations honestly address eco-anxiety and introduce innovations I’d no idea existed. (For me) each episode inspired a deeper dive into new territories like the route for infinite recycling of lithium car batteries, the educational potential of London’s platform gardens, how pump jacks can be retrofit to augment solar power, and the poetic justice of Navajo nations becoming solar farmers. It’s dense information but the stories are especially engaging mixed with Imogene Heap’s original soundscapes. You might even want to listen more than once. So, if you have ever shut off the news screaming, “Are we doing ANY#*%@!THING right to slow climate change!?” Then this show is for you.

Recurve

One of the most thought through and extensive podcast series for anyone who’s curious about problem and solution landscape in climate tech. Rich with real examples of companies tackling it.

Thank you!

Down right incredible!!!

It's the ultimate climate informative "TED talk" but with better voices and a side of eco-friendly humour. Being a South African dealing with something we call "Loadshedding" ( Google it... Make sure to include South African in that sentence or else you may end up searching something you REALLY did not want to see ). That being said I am always really interested to see how other parts of the world are trying to make a change, creating that conversation and taking action. Please make a season three!!!!

Danny Kennedy is Awesome!

I saw Danny give the best talk at NorCal Solar! Also what he has done with solar incubators. Nice to have a movie star friend helping him get the message to laypeople. Good interactions, even from a Prince! Solar saves the world!

We All Need To Hear That

Catch words are “Respect” and “Dialogue” which, very truly, can work as (VIP - Very Important) Parts in the same complex culture we live in, where one can interrelates with the other to bring about the exponential force (hopefully) for the tackling of the many challenges ahead of us. And the opportunities… All quite well coordinated and pleasurable to hear for presented by Kennedy and Blanchett: a true gift.
Cannot wait to your bringing the “plastic issue” - the one thing (it seems) no one is willing to talk about…
