#54: Brexit Jun 26, 2016

Show notes

Wait, what? We left? WE ACTUALLY SODDING LEFT? Jesus wept. Brexit, then. Not only an ugly word, but, it turns out, an exceptionally ugly reality. We rake over the ashes of political and economic union to see if there's a glimmer of hope for the environment. Don't hold your breath. Also, Dave considers doing something VERY bad to old people.

#53: Fish Jun 19, 2016

Show notes

Is the EU killing the UK fishing industry? Is Nigel Farage a fisherman's friend? And what the hell has Bob Geldof got to do with it? Dave and Ol interview piscine expert, Griffin Carpenter, to sift the facts from the fish-ction. They also discuss how to persuade an oil-fearing giraffe to move across a river, and salute naughty Volkswagen for giving up on dirty diesel.

#52: Football Jun 12, 2016

Show notes

Everybody's going football-crazy, football-mad. But will the planet make it out of the group stages? We look at some spectacular eco-guff from UEFA and ask whether the beautiful game has a dirty underbelly. We heap praise on a cricketer standing up to the creamery, and Ol gets his head around a series of very large numbers. All this, and why have Norway banned cars? And what's sebum?

#51: Tigers Apr 17, 2016

Show notes

There are a few more wild tigers than the last time we checked, but Dave and Ol are finding it hard to be cheerful. This week, they ask: is it curtains for the big cat? There's pricey whale sick and an octopus on the lam. And we interrupt Arabella to advise you that perhaps fracking doesn't mean what you thought it meant.

#50: Steel Apr 10, 2016

Show notes

Is it steel vs the planet? Is the ongoing the crisis in UK steel REALLY all the fault of us tree-huggers? And should - and could - the Government do more? We investigate. In other news, why are the UK & USA playing nuclear waste tennis? And why is that wild boar glowing in the dark? Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.

#49: Great Barrier Reef Apr 03, 2016

Show notes

Australia's breathtaking natural wonder is currently experiencing more devastating bleaching than the Romanian footie team at World Cup '98. We speak to Professor David Suggett from down under to find out why. Also this week, bad times to be a chicken. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.

#48: Palm Oil Mar 27, 2016

Show notes

It's Easter! But as you chow down on your choccy eggs, how "sustainable" is the palm oil that's almost certainly used? Are YOU killing orang-utans? Dave and Ol investigate. Another very big name divests from oil and has a pleasing pop at Exxon in the process, and a polar research boat is all set to be named something very silly indeed. All this, and if it wasn't already a bad enough time to be an ash tree, here comes some invading beastly beetles to finish them off.

#47: Robots Mar 21, 2016

Show notes

Artificial Intelligence is here, and it's freakin' terrifying. Will the machines boot us off the planet for being the cause of all its problems, or are robots in fact the key to fixing climate change? Also this week, coffee cup babble, an all too familiar Inhofe, and a delicious lump of cheer from the newly liberated Tate museums.

#46: Dale Vince meets Sustainababble Mar 06, 2016

Show notes

In the early 1990s Dale Vince was a New Age traveller living on a hill in Stroud. Now he is boss of the UK’s best known green energy firm, Ecotricity, which is worth £100m, and runs the world’s only all-vegan football club. Dave and Ol went to Stroud to interview surely the only man on the planet who's convinced footballers to eat tofu. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.

#45: Heathrow 13 Feb 28, 2016

Show notes

Hot off the dock at Willesden Magistrates' Court, we interview Danni Paffard, one of 13 activists found guilty of - but not, it turns out, sent down for - aggravated trespass for occupying Heathrow's north runway last year. Also this week, we aggressively trespass on some badger babble, the pigs want their money back, and a Peruvian German has made a terrible mess of the Amazon.
