Show Notes
This episode marks the end of Spread the Good, a miniseries that has hopefully helped you digest the last 8 weeks of everything COVID-19 related, and get through the final weeks of Ireland’s lockdown. For the finale, Andrew shows us how far we’ve come in cold hard numbers since the last covid wave. The lads then chat about the benefits of mindfulness and meditation, and how it’s helped them during this difficult time. As a bonus, Aidan has written a mindful walking meditation that Andrew guides you through with his luscious voice. Get outside and Spread the Good!

The world's most important climate conference to date, COP27, is on right now in Egypt. Why should I give a f**k!? You might ask. This is why: Humans have managed to increase Earth's temperature by 1.1 C since the late 1800s, and we're on a trajectory for 3 C warming by 2100, which would basically be Armageddon. But don't freak out just yet, 3 UN climate reports have come out in the last two years that give us CLEAR guidelines on what the world needs to do to stop the earth from warming past 1.5 degrees C and prevent catastrophe. In this bonus episode, Aidan (who just happens to be a climate change expert) breaks down everything we know about climate change and how to stop it using the UN 3 climate reports as a roadmap to victory.
In today's episode of this award winning science podcast, Aidan interviews a social scientist and climate activist, Dr Clare Watson, who tells us why many people deny or ignore climate change, and how positivity and community engagement (with a little help from the government) can refresh people's mindsets towards less doom and gloom and more action and progress.
In today's episode of this award winning science podcast, Aidan interviews an expert in renewable energy, Dr Paul Deane, who explains why renewable energy could play a huge part globally in stabilising energy supplies, reducing costs and reducing carbon emissions massively. Paul has previously given TED talks about these issues and has won several awards for science communication, so he's definitely worth listening to, on top of his expert knowledge of his field.
In today's episode of this award winning science podcast, Aidan interviews an offshore wind energy expert Dr Frances Judge, to find out just how big offshore wind is getting, how to build Eiffel Tower sized structures in raging seas, and why offshore wind may be one of the worlds ways to curb rising energy costs and fight climate change.
