Just started listening to a new episode but stopped once I heard the ad for Exxon. We need to get off fossil fuels, and the industry has spent decades lobbying to keep information from the public. I'm unsubscribing.

Not being a fan of "How to..." books i was initially sceptical about this show. But really it is very good. I love that it in involves talking with regular people about their problem and then having a clear speaking expert in to "work the problem". Very positive.

I often find myself really thinking through the thoughtful advice this podcast covers - even if it isn't an issue or skill I want to have!
