From the minds that brought you Climate Town, comes… a podcast that's suspiciously similar to Climate Town. Rollie Williams (Climate Town) and Nicole Conlan (The Daily Show) are two comedians with Master's Degrees in Climate Science & Policy and Urban Planning. But don’t get too excited, because they’re here to examine the pervasive myths and misinformation campaigns that are making it obnoxiously difficult to address the looming climate crisis you've probably heard about. If you're looking to get your hands on some of the absolute coldest, hardest, climate changing-est facts to help sift through the noise, then you've come to the right place, brother.
