4.7 out of 5 stars from 2.1k ratings
  • Professional guests vs. Playground questions

    Why would you ask industry professionals the kind of questions you’d ask toddlers and your besties at a nail salon?

    The questions are overly general and juvenile, shallow and poorly researched.

  • Propaganda is not science

    There is data available. Ignoring it to promote a leftist agenda is not science. Just saying science as if it is a magic incantation that trumps all debate does not make it true.

  • Carbon capture

    I love this podcast and feel so much more informed. I love the experts you have on that delve into the small details on the subjects of their expertise.

    My community is in a fight to stop a carbon capture company from opening. I’d love to understand the pros and cons of this technology and which side of the aisle I need to be on for the safety of our environment and future generations
