#25: Naughty Volkswagen Oct 04, 2015

Show notes

Such terrible behaviour! Ol and Dave spank the bottom of Volkswagen for fiddling emissions tests. But how bad is it *really*? Who should care? And is it the tip of the fume-y iceberg? There's a plastic bag charge with a trillion exemptions and a nice Canadian in a suit. Also: let's all laugh at Shell!

#24: Chris Packham meets Sustainababble Sep 27, 2015

Show notes

We only went to interview Chris Packham - star of Springwatch, Autumnwatch & The Really Wild Show! And his dogs. In our exclusive natter, we ask Chris whether there's any room for 'tradition' when it comes to protecting wildlife. We find out what he thinks about rotters who kill animals for fun, and discuss whether poor ol' pandas are indeed up an evolutionary creek without a paddle. Chris even finds time to tell us what he thinks about fracking. And, we ask him what his favourite environmental song is - or are they all indeed rubbish?

#23b: Dr Karl meets Sustainababble Sep 22, 2015

Show notes

Blimey! Australia's legendary Dr Karl Kruszelnicki talks exclusively to Ol and Dave. Is climate change real? Is it going to be bad? What should we do about it? And whose fault is it that we're not doing enough? All this and some scientific explanations of how solar power works, and why marital relations can make you temporarily deaf.

#23a: Tony Abbott Schadenfreude Special Sep 20, 2015

Show notes

Tony Abbott has gone! TONY ABBOTT HAS GONE! A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-HA-HA-HA! Ol and Dave bask. Episode 23b - an exclusive interview with Australia's @doctorkarl - follows later in the week.

#22: Refugees Sep 13, 2015

Show notes

As the refugee crisis continues to mount, Ol and Dave examine claims from politicians that climate change will only make things worse - are they right? In other news, there's Vivienne Westwood gallivanting around in a tank, some Babble about trees, and an Inhofe we can all get behind. And Paul McCartney's Earth song sickens us to our very stomachs.

#21: So Long, Solar Aug 30, 2015

Show notes

Bad scenes in the sunshine business as the UK Government sets fire to the solar industry. Ol & Dave are righteously angry about it. Plus, some avian mistaken identity from the Antipodes, and some rather unpalatable Schadenfreude for the Prime Minister.

#20: Religion Aug 24, 2015

Show notes

First the Pope, now 1.6bn Muslims. Religion is going ECO nuts. Can faith save the planet? Does it make a blind bit of difference? Are Ol & Dave going to hell?

#19: Happy Happy Joy Joy Aug 16, 2015

Show notes

Panic not! We're back! And everything's gone rubbish! Donald Trump and Tony Abbott are happening. And the new UK Government is setting fire to everything green. How on earth do we stay optimistic?
