How We Survive - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I really enjoyed this series. It doesn’t offer answers so much as explain the problems that are and will continue to be important in so many different ways.
Kai is a delightful and informative host, and his (and the show’s) perspective is really great.
Recommend for anyone who cares about climate, national security, or just generally being informed on important issues of the day.

Kai does an amazing job explaining complex topics in laymans terms. Climate change and its related risks to our way of life are overwhelming, yet Kai is able to look them calmly in the eye, wrestle their daunting threats to the ground so that we can all have some hope of understanding and overcoming them.Thank you !

Truly impressive interviews, investigative research and exposing. I was particularly impressed by the ESG reporting. Even while working in the industry, the episodes helped me see the bigger arc.

Interesting subject matter focusing on the challenges we will see as we transition to renewable energy. I tend to be in the middle of the climate change narrative - not believing that the earth is on the verge of collapse nor believing that we can do whatever we want to the earth without consequences. If you tend to fall on either extreme camp, this podcast might be a turn off for you. Molly does an excellent job explaining the many aspects of the challenges an electric future will hold. For the most part, she does a good job on keeping a level head with the science of climate change without pushing too far into a government overreach agenda or fear mongering. However, episode 6 nearly turned me off from the podcast altogether - as the guest might be one of the most egotistical climate alarmist I’ve ever heard. His rants about establishing a “carbon based currency” and destroying pipelines proved how out of touch with reality he is (which shouldn’t be surprising coming from a fiction author with no scientific authority). Needless to say this episode nearly derailed the podcast as a whole for me. That being said, the rest of the episodes were solid and insightful. The race for batteries is much more complex than I initially thought, and I learned a lot as I made my way through the podcast. Hope to hear more from Molly in future seasons.

Edit: The initial review was for season 1. The following seasons have each been enjoyable learning experiences. Each season (minus this past one) still has an episode that focuses on fictionalized scenarios by people with no scientific authority. While this might appeal to a radical climate alarmist, it has to no real bearing on reality, and detracts from the podcast as a whole.
