Excellent podcast!! I need to listen to this one again. I actually turned on KZbin to finish the episode, it was so compelling. What a wonderful man doing such meaningful work. Please have him back. I could listen to his stories for hours.

[@95425]

Amazing episode ! Thank you ❤

[@JaneASmyth]

Wonderful episode… I just finished watching Racing Extinction as a result of this podcast and can barely see through the tears. Thank you. Thank you….

[@DoctorRevers]

Will be checking out all his films. Great talk.

[@stavroulapapadopoulou9033]

I knew of Psihoyos, never actually heard him talk. Captivating story teller!

[@broculorevoltado1955]

What an amazing episode and what an amazing guest! Definetly needs to have a second episode! Thank you Rich! 💛

[@deanramsey95]

Incredible podcast

[@mauritaschut8466]

This was SUCH a good interview. I even made some clips to share with others. My husband and I watched both The Cove and Gamechangers a few years ago, and they were incredibly moving and affected immediate change in our family's diet, and luckily, everyone was on board. Psihoyos and his team are amazing planet educators and changers, and I'm blown away by their bravery and tenacity. Thank you so much to all of you, including Rich; for a great interview!

[@mauritaschut8466]

I want to add that it makes me sad that while there are many views on a lot of Rich's other episodes/interviews, there aren't many on this one. Maybe it was the vagueness of the title, but maybe it's also that we're just so resistant as a species to listening to things that we know would make us face difficult choices: do we change, or do we simmer in our apathy and subsequent guilt?😔 As they say, Ignorance is bliss (for a while).

[@carolspencer6915]

Wow All my aspirational thoughts/vision of what should be, all wrapped up in own shared story. Truly grateful to you both. Thankyou. 💜

[@chrisnam1603]

Looking forward to this conversation! 2hours, oh love it already, it means a lot, thanks from Belgium

[@yvonneraley3050]

Wow! I can to wfpb eating through Dr. Esselstyn's book. Just found in the library and have continued ti learn. I'm interested in the science too and want to learn the best way of eating. Will follow and look forward to Louie's work. 😊 Thankyou

[@SaltheartFoamfollower]

Apple TV, Netflix, Paramount, Amazon Prime, all these streaming services that really weakens the dissemination of a product (Documentary or Film or Series etc), if it's important to get it out to people, put it on KZbin with commercials, Not on Apple TV, or give a code that non subscribers of ATV can watch a life changing documentary.

[@csgarrett1]

Once again you interview a person whose ideas and understanding not just change minds but change habits ( like was mentioned--that can be the "harder" part). Your thorough investigation into your interviewee's life or accomplishments or ideas is so impressive. Your podcasts are always dialogues of substance for me rather than good-boys ( or girls) bumping fists -- which is not a bad thing at all-- just I guess I get hungry for deeper content and don't always choose to go read so-and-so's book or all the articles about her or him... yet you help me see deeper because of the way you interview and discuss ideas with your chosen guests, who in my book are so fascinating. thank you both to broadening my mind and perspective. It makes me want to "be the change" I want to see happen. Oh... and how about interviewing your sons sometime. I wonder what's it's been like for them to be raised by or with their yoga-entrepreneur super Mom and Ironman-intellectual Dad.

[@csgarrett1]

I dont' know why some of the words got a line through them... to my knowledge, I didn't do that but I must have hit something on the keyboard that did that. I am so sorry about that.

[@brookie_cuqui]

What a legend. I'm in for some stings!

[@noornoornoor23]

Dear RR/RRP team, I will listen to this soon (currently listening to William Goodge, after having listened to Julie's episode), but I just left a comment on Julie's episode (not really about the episode, though). It took me quite some time and took me on a walk down memory lane to think of and write so would love it if you do see it :D Thank you! :)

[@pedallove7058]

This is a fabulous episode, thank you. But it was hard to watch two environmentalists bemoan people not wanting to come into the office and electric cars get so much attention. Having people who can afford to work from home do it helps curb our transportation footprint since the US does not have good clean reliable convenient mass transit options. Please look into the sustainable value of electric bikes, buses, and trains compared to electric cars

[@1232bluejays]

Hybrid vehicles are the perfect bridge to all electric with hydrogen powered cars also in the mix

[@maxdecleyn]

there is nothing cleaner than a diesel engine.

[@lynnritchie231]

Not the best for falling asleep to. I had horrible dreams.

[@briansim1648]

Rich, your guy leans so left, I was tipping over. If it’s up to him, we all abide by his rules. Not enough compromise in Mr. UN Globalist.

[@time4sanity]

Actually, they simply understand that we don't inherit our environment from our elders...we BORROW it from our progeny. The idea is to leave the planet better than we found it. Depends on whether one's mindset is about giving or taking. They are both givers...and giving does have a left-leaning mindset. Sad for anyone who doesn't see that.

[@catherinekasmer9905]

Sorry, he is simply telling the truth about our one and only home. This transcends politics but evidently greed feels challenged. Ignore the truth at our peril.

[@george6977]

Over 2 hours; why woffle on ?

[@lynnritchie231]

Did you mean waffle? You know you can turn it off, don't you?
