LIVE at 3S Artspace: Local Podcasters Night

On March 27, 2026 we brought together 6 local podcasts to record a show in front of a live audience of 100+ people at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth. The theme of the evening was simple: we aren’t competing with each other, we’re all competing together against the giant media industry of conflict entrepreneurship pumping out cynicism 24/7.

Everything is Solar Power

Sam Evans-Brown is the Executive Director of Clean Energy New Hampshire, and he’s a congenital, unbreakable optimist! In this episode, he explains why his confidence in the clean energy transition isn’t idealism, it’s physics. We geek out on solar maxis, the surprisingly small number of energy types in the universe, and why New Hampshire might just be a diamond in the rough for getting clean energy done across the aisle. We are also joined briefly by Clean Energy New Hampshire’s Communications Coordinator (and my friend!) Kyana Burgess. Learn more about their work at cleanenergynh.org [https://www.cleanenergynh.org/] Granite Goodness is made possible by the generous support of our Community Partners, big thank you to Resilient Buildings Group [https://rbgnh.com/] and Green Wave Electric Vehicles [https://greenwaveev.com/].

March 27 at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH. *In this episode, I (Andy) referenced a couple of my favorite progress trends. In one of them I said that “deforestation in the Amazon had basically gone to zero”. I was thinking of this story from Mongabay [https://news.mongabay.com/2026/02/amazon-deforestation-on-pace-to-be-the-lowest-on-record-says-brazil/], showing that Amazon deforestation is approaching an all time low. Not technically zero, but wanted to back up and clarify that statement!
