#44: Nuclear Feb 21, 2016

Show notes

Dave and Ol investigate nuclear power: it costs a fortune, but do we still need it to save the planet? And what have didgeridoos, cups of tea, and radioactive moggies got to do with it? There's some self-sustaining babble about beavers and some praise for apple-faced young Nordics. And what's this about councils being told they have to continue to invest in stinky fuels, even if they don't want to any more?

#43: Love Feb 15, 2016

Show notes

It's Valentine's Day, so everyone's throwing money at card shops and calling it romance. But what does it mean for the planet? Should we give up buying roses? Will anyone remember to give lil' old Earth a cuddle? There's inhofery from the oil company we all love to hate, filthy babble from India, and yet another A-lister giving it to the PM. Lovely.

#42: Europe Feb 07, 2016

Show notes

Lucky Brits will soon be asked if they want IN or OUT of the EU. What should you do if you love the planet? Ol and Dave grill an EU expert, Sam Lowe. We gawp at the UK Government pushing Chinese Weetabix onto the world, ask whether it can ever be OK to fly return to Germany just to make a point about train fares, and send a very cross message to Card Factory. All this, and what on Earth is happening to oil company profits? Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet. Out Mondays.

#41: Whales Jan 31, 2016

Show notes

They're big, wet and lovely. Whether they're washing up on our beaches or getting harpooned by naughty Japanese people, everyone's talking about whales - and so are we. This week Ol and Dave wonder why it is people get so gooey about whales, and dig into exactly how the heck Japan keeps getting away with killing and eating so many of them in the name of 'science'. All this, and the world's sexiest President finds himself in Babble Corner - twice. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet. Out Mondays.

#40: Space Jan 25, 2016

Show notes

With Tim Peake, Star Wars, and NEW ACTUAL PLANETS dominating the news, we ponder why everyone's so gooey about space. And shouldn't the human race get its own house in order before sodding off to Mars? Leonardo DiCaprio gets an icecream, Dave gets irate about a mouse, and an exceptionally unlikely recipient gets this week's babble award.

#39: Planet Earth is Blue Jan 17, 2016

Show notes

Dave's back from his holidays to find out David Bowie has died, the UK's lost killer whales it didn't even know it had, and the bloke in charge of flood prevention went on holiday by mistake. Lawks. There's a load of stinky air, fossil fuel barons suing Barack Obama, and the weirdest thing Donald Trump has done yet. And with Bowie-puns agogo, who is this week's - ahem - Starman?

#38: Tony Juniper meets Sustainababble Jan 03, 2016

Show notes

To kick off 2016 we serve up an interview with writer, environmentalist and campaigner extraordinaire Tony Juniper. Dave and Ol ask if the recent Paris deal is much cop, whether sticking a price tag on nature is a good idea, and what Tony thinks 2016 will hold for the planet. Enjoy!

#37: Technology Dec 27, 2015

Show notes

Can technology save the planet? Dave and Ol interview tech journalist, podcast host & stand-up comic Kirsty Styles. We ask: do politicians have the remotest clue about technology? How do you inspire the people building dating apps to put their efforts into battling climate change? And is VHS a sexual disease?

Show notes

A bumper festive edition! Grab a vol-au-vent, hijack the sherry and let Ol and Dave take you on a sleigh ride through the best bits of babble from 2015. What will be crowned sustainababble of the year? Who's the greatest #Inhofe of them all? And why does Ol hate donkeys? All this and much, much more in your end-of-year babble-sack of joy.

#35: Kindergarten COP21 Dec 13, 2015

Show notes

Two big things happened in Paris last week. 1) Arnold Schwarzenegger (big) came to town, and took some kick-ass to climate deniers. 2) And then: crikey! - A climate deal happened! But is it any (kindergarten) cop? Will Arnie need to smash any more heads? Dave and a very bleary Ol investigate. There's anger from a Catholic, horticulture from Kim Jong-un, weasel words on Heathrow expansion, and a massive food company being caught a-babblin'.
