"It’s both a reassuring and a terrifying thing to hear Cate Blanchett admit that she is as overwhelmed with eco-anxiety as much as the rest of us. This isn’t just a case of a wealthy celebrity turned podcast preacher...Perhaps it’s possible to end a chat about the climate on a positive note, after all."

Patricia Nicol • The Times UK • Oct 16, 2022
"This amiable pair are so undimmed in their sunniness you begin to wonder if they could be profitably plugged into the grid...mostly their focus is on an upbeat globetrotting tour of positive projects — and there is something overwhelming about that too. While listening, I was continually aware of my mind skittering, questioning, glazing over."

Alexi Duggins • The Guardian • Apr 28, 2022
"It’s an attempt to provide hope...Blanchett’s endearingly genuine curiosity that you might end up thinking things aren’t so bleak."
Score: 4.5
Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian • Apr 17, 2022
"...at the start of the series, in common with many climate emergency podcasts, the discussion can feel rather broad, with smudgy chat about tech and innovation and the “disruptive decade”. By episode two, however, the show is focusing on real-life solutions and these are undoubtedly encouraging."
