The Playbook of a Fossil Fuel Company

Season 1 Episode 5 We've spoken a lot about fossil fuel companies. You could say we've painted them kind of negatively and haven't given evidence for our claims. We'd like to avoid spending most of our episodes criticising, so we're cramming that evidence into this episode. In "The Playbook", we give the down low on many of the most common tactics used by fossil fuel companies - the ones used to gaslight you and keep themselves relevant. This one might make you angry.

The Mood on Climate Change

Season 1 Episode 4 Today we explore what the vibe is around climate change, both politically and across the population. We usually avoid politics, but it's important so we've crammed (almost) all of it into this episode. Enjoy!
