lynnhardingEarth is a Heat PumpI think this is the best explanation of how thermodynamics works in the world. It is the best I have heard since Flanders and Swan put it to music in the 1960s “work is heat and heat is work…….yeah that’s entropy man!”
-
the redtail-hawkbest podcast but the worst guestI do not disagree with Arnoux basically but he deserves the worst communicator award. Even your sparkle was dimmed by his hesitant, uninformative, and lugubrious presentation. You are still the best. All stars go to you. Paul

Dan1777999877So insightful!It’s obvious Rachel puts extraordinary effort into every single episode of Planet: Critical. But what makes this show a true standout is the quality of the guests, stories, and tactics. Rachel finds speakers that truly care about being a positive force in the sustainability space, and shares insights that only a true practitioner can unearth. Don't miss it!
