Cringey delivery (-) of important climate change topics, with beginner-friendly and accessible content (+). It’s hard to find a beginner friendly podcast on climate change. This podcast does a great job of making accessible information. What I can no longer handle is the weird “VH1: Where Are They Now” tone used to provide crucial facts for people to absorb without distractions at the same time from the weird format. The manner in which this podcast is made and scripted may work for some, but it isn’t universal and can lose their audience pretty easily (as other reviewers have stated). I hope they change it considering the amount of feedback on this, because the content is valuable! I also hope they consider making extended versions of each episode that go into deeper analysis of each topic for those eager to learn more. 🤞🏽

And upbeat for a podcast about an attempt to save an entire planet. Get that it can’t be all doom and gloom but it feels creepily disconnected. Maybe rein it in?

This podcast is great for people who can’t think for themselves

Amazing podcast! I love Graigagh and her cheery attitude! They have great interviews and give a good amount of information to make me feel like I understand the answer but not be too overwhelming!

I love the topics they chose and the way it is put together sounds very professional.

The BBC World Service has put quite a lot into the production of “The Climate Question,” their weekly podcast on climate change, and what we can do about it. Topics are timely and well-chosen. Field reporting from around the globe is relevant and professional. Keeping the length of the show at 25-30 minutes is generally a good idea. So, what’s the issue? Someone has decided that the show needs to remain light, upbeat, and entertaining no matter what the content. Neal and Graihagh are pleasant hosts but often try so hard to be cute and clever that your eyes can’t help but roll. On one hand, “The Climate Question” successfully avoids the doom and gloom, and getting bogged down in the details of scientific reports and forecasts, but on the other hand, it seems too determined to keep it all “fun” and cheerful. Let’s tone that part down a bit.

Thank you for shining a light onto a really important issue and one that we all need to be talking about. Really complex issues explained in terms a layman like myself can understand. Thank you

Excellent topics chosen that go some way to account for the global nature of climate change. Informative but it would be nice if the hosts didn’t try so hard to make it relatable/informal and dumb everything down. Have some faith in your listeners :) we just want the facts, and you don’t need to shy away from detailed interviews or complex topics.

Very informative.

This and “How to Save a Planet” are my go-to climate podcasts, and they make my commute to and from work way less miserable. Both hosts on this podcast speak very clearly and explain things well. The episodes aren’t too long either - usually close to 30 mins. It doesn’t matter for me since my miserable commute is way longer, but it’s good for those with shorter commutes or time constraints.
