While I am definitely not feeling optimistic at all about the future of our planet, I do need this fantastic podcast every week to see what nuggets of optimism the hosts can scrape together. Please keep it up while I cry on the couch.

In hard competition, this is the best climate pod cast globally! Three brilliantly creative and experienced friends (?) with many interesting guests "Outrage and optimism" is also much less expensive than paying a shrink to deal with my outrage!

Coming late, but catching up on every single episode. Thorough interviews, intrinsic knowledge, and overall best podcast I've listened to on climate change matters. Proud of my fellow activist Costa Rican, CF, and grateful for her work!
