    Wonderful podcast!
    I love this podcast! I hope you come back for another season!

    It’s a shame.
    I gave this a good try, but I’ll be unsubscribing. For a topic that’s incredibly important, this show is nearly unlistenable. Mike is so condescending, so allergic to listening - most episodes go absolutely no where. If you’d like to listen to Mike interrupt his cohost every 15 seconds, be my guest. It didn’t work for me.

    Excellent info on pros and cons of different foods
    This podcast has helped me make decisions about how to move to a more plant based diet while minimizing the environmental impact of what I eat. They provide detailed analysis of agricultural practices as well as products to better understand trade offs of various foods. Hosts are engaging, don’t proselytize and make learning fun!

    Great podcast. Challenging some of my core ideals.
    I am obsessively binge listening to your podcast, and trying not to feel hurt as you berate Michael Pollen and reintroduce a generation of disorganized but well meaning liberals to the critical problem of math that is the current climate crisis, how to focus on better at scale than perfect but only for a few virtuous souls, considered from a variety of angles. Thank you.

    Leaves a bad taste
    I really wanted to love this podcast - it is exactly the intersection of topics (food and climate) that I am most passionate about and most focused on in my own career. I've tried a handful of episodes, maybe 10-15, and at the end of every one I have this sense of unease in my chest because I just don't get how anyone steeped in this information can say "we can all keep eating animals and still solve climate change". It's irresponsible, hence my unease. It's unintentionally dishonest, bad information.

    How about interviewing someone with a solution?
    Please check out the important work of Will Harris from White Oak Pastures. You can learn of his innovative working answers to the climate and food problems facing the planet. Things can be turned around. It’s all about producing local food in a sustainable way and rebuilding our soils. Listen to him on Joe Rogan’s podcast and open your mind.

    I finally unsubscribed
    I liked the content, and listened for quite a while — and learned a lot. But finally the scripted approach began to really annoy me. (Maybe the hosts aren’t reading from a script, but it sure sounds as though they are.)

    Opinionated over factual
    Some may like hearing opinions more than scientific facts but its not enlightening. If they had professionals speaking on topics they believe they know so much about, my rating may be different.

    Finally!
    I really love this podcast! It really comes down to the hosts, you two have great chemistry. Most of these types of podcasts are guest-based, this format is MUCH better. Keep it up!
  • Kevin Gumby
    Fun and informative
    I love when these two bicker and offer different viewpoints. Thanks

    Informative and important podcast
    This podcast has been instrumental in my learning about how I can make a difference in climate change. Michael and Tamar break down the science and translate it to us in understandable bits. I am binge listening. More of this content please.

    Love this podcast
    This podcast is so enlightening and interesting. I am loving it and highly recommend if you are interested in learning more about how you can help make a difference in climate change.

    Great show
    I really appreciate that Tamar and Mike address the facts and science of the food/climate issue, rather than the intuitions and feelings that people tend to have. For example, they make it clear that “natural” or organic food is not always better for climate. In fact, often those foods are worse for the planet. I also appreciate their advocacy for alternative meats and other replacements for the products of animal agriculture. It’s a great podcast worth the listen!

    Favorite food podcast
    As a long time organic gardener and consumer, interested in cooking and nutrition, caring about environment and animal welfare, I am devouring this podcast! The hosts are informed and willing to say what they think. The result is a great conversation.

    Loving this show so much!
    This is the show I didn’t know I needed. So much great information about the food choices we make and how they relate to climate change. I love that the hosts don’t always agree, too. Makes it feel so much more real!
  • chet610
    Extremely insightful and informative
    This podcast is everything that the world needs to listen right now. One of the most important topics that surprisingly few people are even talking about.

    Annoying voice
    Although this podcast is relaxing and teaches you stuff I find the females voice to be quite annoying and she doesn’t know a lot compared to the male host and I hope the will bring in someone that knows more about this stuff to talk with the male host instead of keeping the female.

    I like Mike Grunwald less now.
    I remember really enjoying Michael Grunwald’s book about the Everglades when I read it in high school, and ever since I have enjoyed his environmental reporting. But hearing him speak - especially on the local food episode - good grief, what a totally condescending _____________ .
  • REworlder
    Think about food differently
    This is the kind of show where you aren’t going to agree with everything — precisely because it challenges our traditional notions of what it means to eat for the environment. That’s what makes it good. It’s thought provoking, and it’ll probably make you re-evaluate some things. Good stuff!
  • krammington
    Absurdly contrarian
    The male host is so obnoxious and contrarian that fifteen minutes into the local food episode I’m not sure that a single coherent idea has been communicated. The episode could have provided some interesting and informative pushback for commonly accepted ideas, but this is unlistenable. Let her finish a sentence!
  • robinminttea
    Very Educational
    Love the podcast! However I do somewhat agree with RTloon, (it’s spelled milquetoast) in that the roles of the hosts seem biased. The content is educational and informative, though.
  • Josh in Westchester
    Good concept, poor execution so far
    This leaves a lot to be desired. The hosts spend a lot of time arguing with each other without actually providing an initial base of information on the topic they are arguing about. It feels like there’s a lot of “why _____ won’t actually help the climate” and relatively little time devoted to what will help the climate and why. Smug, know it all attitude on the part of the hosts. A few episodes in left me feeling worse and no more informed.
  • Bigfootingaround
    Wanted to be able to participate in the convo by listening
    Pretty awful, Michael is a know it all. Do you even science brah.. shill for sure.. Also very contradicting, anti deforestation but pro pesticides? Like how do you even??? Also “climate change is a math problem” Well your math comes from a place of privilege and colonization. Your environmentalism is direct colonization of indigenous people around the world Michael. I felt bad listening to him be a condescending jerk to the cohost as well
  • Kb24ever
    More Globalist Propaganda
    THIS IS INSANE - YOU CANNOT CNVINCE ME IT’S SOMEHOW BAD TO NOT EAT LOCAL AND SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS AND [GASP] GROW MY OWN FOOD OR AT LEAST BE INVOLVED WITH GROWNG MY OWN FOOD FOOD SOMEHOW. SHAME ON THESE LATEST SHILLS FOR THE SATANIC GLOBALISTS!!!
  • Siendior
    “Lettuce is a stupid food”
    Absolutely iconic. Great advice without the usual anti-human bias of environmental podcasts and analysis
  • RTloon
    Ill-informed and unpleasant
    If you enjoy listening to the interactions between an overconfident mansplainer advocating unreasoned reasonableness and a more empathetic but milktoast female cohost who follows a pattern of empathizing with those that disagree with the mansplainer, then raising some objections to what he says while at the same time professing agreement with him, then this is the show for you.
  • adk woodchuck
    Great show
    Awesome hosts. Definitely worth listening to every episode.
  • Christina Binkley
    Eat Good!
    I completely love Climavores. They agree on very little, which means we learn A LOT, and we can embrace a multiplicity of views…which also allows the rest of us to give ourselves some slack about the choice we make when we fee ourselves. Amen.
  • thethirdbear
    Great show
