Mirrors in space? Artificial volcanos? Refreezing the Arctic?! Can we? Will we? SHOULD we? Dave & Ol embark on a terrifying interview with geoengineering expert, Duncan McLaren.

#70: The Resistance

Sustainababble ·

2017/01/29

Pipelines approved, climate plans deleted, environmental workers silenced. It’s a tad bleak in Trumpsylvania. But vast marches and spikey twitter protests are kicking off in response. We ask: do they make the slightest difference? Also this week, some truly spectacular Robin Hood themed fracking Babble.

#69: Northern Ireland

Sustainababble ·

2017/01/22

What? Has a renewable energy scheme REALLY just brought down the Northern Ireland government? We interview Belfast's Niall Bakewell to find out more, learning that the nation is very far from as green and pretty as it looks on Google Maps. In other news, there's some immediate Babble from the new President of the Free World. And the data's in on climate for 2016, and it's bloody terrifying.

2016/12/18

Hark! Sleigh bells! That can only mean one thing: FESTIVE ECO-GUFF! Dave and Ol stuff your stocking to the brim with seasonal blether, and some hypocrisy of the highest order. Also this week, the magical scarpering Transport Minister; the oil baron in charge of the USA's climate talking; and Ol's head is all big because he's done a good thing. All this, and there's still time for a terrifying prediction about what 2016 may still have in store. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about

#67: Standing Rock

Sustainababble ·

2016/12/11

Nuff respect to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe of North Dakota: they faced down the Man, his water cannons, and his plan to hoik a massive oil pipeline under their lake. But does the Donald make it only a temporary reprieve? In other news, several hundred acres of snow geese picked a bad place to stop off for some chips. And can Ol say three interesting facts in just 30 seconds? Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet. Music by Dicky Moore from

2016/12/05

20 degrees warmer than normal. Bugger all sea ice. WTF is going on in the Arctic? We interview clever person Dr Mark Brandon to find out.

#65: Babies

Sustainababble ·

2016/11/28

Are children an unjustifiable burden on the planet, as well as noisy and financially ruinous? And why on earth are Ol and Dave talking about them all of a sudden? Also this week, the triumphant return of Boaty McBoatface and a new section dedicated to that nice Mr Trump. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.

Sustainababble ·

2016/11/20

The world's most notorious climate denier is about to become the most world's most powerful man. AAARGH! Ol and Dave, back from their hols, are properly freaking out. Is it time to put away the placards and give up? Has America just doomed the planet? They interview American climate campaigner Janet Redman (@janetredman_DC) in search for some reasons to be even slightly cheerful. And, surprisingly, they actually find some.

#63: The Ethical Carnivore

Sustainababble ·

2016/09/25

Is it only ethical to eat meat you kill yourself? We interview author and journalist Louise Gray, who spent a year doing just that. We find out what it's really like inside an abattoir, how likely you are to be a psychopath if you work there, and whether the thrill of the hunt is a real thing. And we ask: should everyone be prepared to kill animals if they want to eat meat? Louise's book, 'The Ethical Carnivore', is out now.

#62: State of Nature

Sustainababble ·

2016/09/18

The UK's nature is in a state, say the country's biggest green charities, and they're blaming the farmers. Is that fair? Have farmers REALLY got beef with the hedgehogs and the bunny rabbits? Why? And should they have all their subsidies taken away? Plus, we interview superstar investigative journalist Kyla Mandel from Desmog UK about ExxonMobil's sneaky lobbying against electric cars. And is Dave going to have to eat grass until he's sick? Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about

#61: Blackouts

Sustainababble ·

2016/09/11

Is running the country on renewables REALLY 'fanciful nonsense' that'll make all the lights go out? How likely are blackouts? What causes them? And is YOUR fridge downloading nudey pictures when you're not looking? We talk to an energy expert with a large brain, Alasdair Cameron, to find out. Also, there's some major babble from burbling miners in Druridge Bay - and as the world's two biggest polluters ratify the Paris Agreement, why are there STILL so many reasons to be glum?

Sustainababble ·

2016/09/04

Ol and Dave chat to Amy Liptrot about The Outrun, Amy's phenomenally successful debut book in which she discovers how the wild can restore life and renew hope. Recently out in paperback, The Outrun is this year's winner of the Wainwright prize for UK nature and travel writing, and Waterstones' September 2016 non-fiction book of the month.

#59: Microbeads

Sustainababble ·

2016/08/28

Very big numbers of iddybiddy bits of plastic in the sea, and it's all the fault of YOUR face scrubs. Should we ban microbeads? Who thought they were a good idea in the first place? And what's it all got to do with Dave's jam tarts? All this, and WOMBATS FIGHT BACK - not before time, by the sound of it.

#58: Biodiversity offsetting

Sustainababble ·

2016/08/22

Bio-what? Good question. We find out, via mining in the article circle and the age old question "how many chaffinches equals one owl?" Also this week, bees related babble, a model Inhofe, and Arabella pronouncing a complicated word that Dave cannot. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet.

#57: Grouse Shooting

Sustainababble ·

2016/08/15

There's been a lot of squabbling about grouse shooting with Ian Botham and Chris Packham taking, er, shots at each other. Why? Can hunting animals really be good for conservation? We've got a revolutionary American township that's changing the law to stop the frackers, and we find out when a bribe isn't a bribe really. All this, and Dave's got a fact so good it gets its own feature. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet. Out Mondays. Music by Dicky

#56: Mrs May Gets Busy

Sustainababble ·

2016/08/07

We're back, and EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT. Where's Osborne gone? Who put Boris in charge of Foreign? And can we have our climate change department back please? Mrs May's been hard at work doing stuff, including irking the Chinese by delaying the new Hinkley nuclear plant. We ask: oh heavens, is that wise? All this, and there's an Olympic-sized bit of babble, and Arabella speaks in tongues. Sustainababble is your weekly comedy podcast about politics, prattle and the planet. Out Mondays. Music by

#55: Air

Sustainababble ·

2016/07/03

It's 60 years since the UK's Clean Air Act. Hooray! So why are so many people still dying from air pollution? Ol knows stuff, so Dave grills him. Not literally. There's an attempt to make sad pigs happy, and heavens-to-betsy, has the UK done something good on climate change? All this, and we laugh our knackers off at Boris Johnson.
