#74: Rules (& Squirrels) Feb 26, 2017

Show notes

A bad time to be either a piece of green law and/or a grey squirrel. What's with all the war? We investigate. Plus, some Trump nepotism that may yet save us all from certain doom. And Ol orders a curry. Sustainababble is your weekly podcast about the environment, with jokes. Music by Dicky Moore from Bearcraft and Dream Themes. Available on iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud, and on sustainababble.fish.

#73: Geoengineering Feb 19, 2017

Show notes

Mirrors in space? Artificial volcanos? Refreezing the Arctic?! Can we? Will we? SHOULD we? Dave & Ol embark on a terrifying interview with geoengineering expert, Duncan McLaren. We've also got some Babble from an unholy Caledonian alliance, and an Anti-Inhofe Inhofe from Down Under. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.

#72: Wasps Feb 12, 2017

Show notes

Climate change = more wasps. Is it time we all stopped freaking out and started to love the little blighters? Plus, Microsoft Excel has a plan for the nation's newts - and clean coal oxymoronicism from our orange friend over the pond.

#71: Amazon Reef Feb 06, 2017

Show notes

An ENORMOUS coral reef has been discovered hiding near the Amazon and - in a welcome development - it's not dead yet. We talk to Greenpeace's Sara Ayech to find out all about it. Also this week, spectacular eco-guff from a Cornwall councillor and we impose a Babble ban on Small Hands Orange Face.

#70: The Resistance Jan 29, 2017

Show notes

Pipelines approved, climate plans deleted, environmental workers silenced. It’s a tad bleak in Trumpsylvania. But vast marches and spikey twitter protests are kicking off in response. We ask: do they make the slightest difference? Also this week, some truly spectacular Robin Hood themed fracking Babble.

#69: Northern Ireland Jan 22, 2017

Show notes

What? Has a renewable energy scheme REALLY just brought down the Northern Ireland government? We interview Belfast's Niall Bakewell to find out more, learning that the nation is very far from as green and pretty as it looks on Google Maps. In other news, there's some immediate Babble from the new President of the Free World. And the data's in on climate for 2016, and it's bloody terrifying.

#68: Sustainabauble Dec 18, 2016

Show notes

Hark! Sleigh bells! That can only mean one thing: FESTIVE ECO-GUFF! Dave and Ol stuff your stocking to the brim with seasonal blether, and some hypocrisy of the highest order. Also this week, the magical scarpering Transport Minister; the oil baron in charge of the USA's climate talking; and Ol's head is all big because he's done a good thing. All this, and there's still time for a terrifying prediction about what 2016 may still have in store. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.

#67: Standing Rock Dec 11, 2016

Show notes

Nuff respect to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe of North Dakota: they faced down the Man, his water cannons, and his plan to hoik a massive oil pipeline under their lake. But does the Donald make it only a temporary reprieve? In other news, several hundred acres of snow geese picked a bad place to stop off for some chips. And can Ol say three interesting facts in just 30 seconds? Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet. Music by Dicky Moore from Bearcraft and Dream Themes.

#65: Babies Nov 28, 2016

Show notes

Are children an unjustifiable burden on the planet, as well as noisy and financially ruinous? And why on earth are Ol and Dave talking about them all of a sudden? Also this week, the triumphant return of Boaty McBoatface and a new section dedicated to that nice Mr Trump. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.
