Hey, made an account to respond to you. Check out The Energy Gang. My favorite podcast in this space. I think it meets your requirements. I listen to every episode and can’t recommend it enough

Hi, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Skimmed through the episode titles, looks like there is some meat inside, will give it a go tonight. It's kind of amazing to me how important this topic is and how much fake or dishonest info floats around, seems like so many people are just virtue signalling and care mostly about making profit off of it.

Nice, I hope it clicks for you!

I agree, you gotta really cut through the noise to find legitimate sources. I do think we’re at a turning point though. Climate change is now a dollar-and-cents issue and as such will be given a seat at the table by politicians and businesses alike.

I will say that if you’re interested in technology discussions only, you might have to pick and choose your episodes. Tech comes up in each, but there is a lot of policy and regulation talk

No Such Thing As A Bad Movie, where they discuss a movie for about an hour, many of them bad, and often find good things to say. Some of my favorites they've discussed:

Ryan's Babe

Simon Conjurer

The Match-Stick Flame

Linus tech tips. Even if just for the entertainment. Probably not the answer you expected. I listen to it because its totally apolitical without a hint either way of the political spectrum, focuses on tech alone, and is fun listening to. Thats how tech pod/youtube casting should be. Oh and any podcast carmack is speaking on. That guy’s even more spot on how tech talks should be. No selling, no politics, just pure awesomeness.

I find podcasts a terrible format for anything technical, where I want to be able to read tangential material as necessary.

But I’ve had a few long drives recently and have been the sort of pop-infotainment genre. 99% invisible and various podcasts highlighted on there

Ones and Tooze - shortish weekly podcast about world events and economics, with Adam Tooze

The Inquiry, The Briefing Room, and Analysis - BBC podcasts about current events

Revolutions - great series which has had its final ever episode, but as a history podcast it’s not going to become out of date.
