    Great show.
    This is the most informative climate tech show available. Excellent. Always interesting.
  • Evan Nyer
    Sourcing Biomass
    70 % of municipal solid waste is biomass yet it is not even mentioned in your podcast as a potential source. Also, you did not mention direct sequestration of biomass. Please look at our website for details on how to sequester biomass.

    Topic power beaming
    Sanjay well spoken and very knowledgeable about the space base solar power technology. I learned something I didn’t know about. Thanks to Kaan for bringing him to the podcast.
  • DPK2018
    Fantastic Pod
    This is a great pod, thoughtful hosts, great guests and solid deep dives into amazing subject matter.
  • Me741
    Good podcast
    This podcast is very well done. But climate change is still a scam and green energy is garbage.
  • afugior
    So good episodes often require multiple listens
    These podcasts are packed with information. Sometimes, I will listen to an episode at my desk and take notes through the really dense parts for future reference. But you can also just listen and learn. This podcast strikes the perfect balance for me between feeling conversational and natural but following an outline that tells a story that you can easily understand. The people at canary media have helped convince me that I need to find a way to commit my own career and efforts in the world towards the energy transition and they provide more than enough data to help a person make that leap if they want.

    The perfect decarbonization podcast
    I have been binge listening to Catalyst since February. I needed a refresher on some of these hard-to-abate sectors and some of Shayle’s episodes walk through the soup to nuts of a entire sector in one 50 minute episode. Thanks to Shayle who is structured, engaging and able to get his guests to reveal the history, issues and layers of nuance on topics discussed. The episodes are jam-packed with lots of interesting insights. I catch myself taking notes sometimes!

    High value
    Shayle doesn’t just do the “tell me about yourself” format of so many other podcasts, but instead asks the questions that he is wondering - which either we all are asking too, or didn’t know we should be. The tone is perfectly conversational while getting straight to the point. Every topic is interesting and every show ends too soon. This is my new favorite podcast.
  • Dan1777999877
    A favorite!
    Extremely educational and full of practical and impactful takeaways. Every time I listen to Catalyst, I am able to walk away with actionable steps I can take to be part of the solution!
  • Stavi_92
    Great show!
    This is a very informative show that talks about different challenges and solutions to the climate crisis. I like how it looks at the problem from many different angles and tackles topics in all the different sectors.
  • Naveen Balawat
    Extremely Informative
    Shayle is an absolute master in terms of bringing in the right people and talking about things that is of value to listeners in the climate space. Lot of complex topics are discussed thoroughly.
  • Factor96
    Amazing Climate Tech Show
    One of the few sources of intelligent optimism on the climate crisis, and a great introduction on everything from advanced fission reactors and solar to cultivated meat and insurance. Incredible technology to hear about.
  • MTNmojo29
    The best in the business
    This is the best show on climate/clean tech - make sure you’re ready to go deep! Shayle is a great host and knows how to get into the core issues with each guest. Every week is a must listen, thanks for the awesome discussions!
  • MikeM37363729
    Get smart on climatetech
    If you’re working (or investing) in climate in any capacity, you should absolutely be subscribed. Shayle is an incredible synthesizer of complex information and a great communicator. And every show he brings on a brilliant guest that’s working on important energy & climate problems.
  • Aaronsb
    Loved it!
    It’s refreshing to hear conversations about what is actually required to make a difference to the climate, beyond agendas and policies. These type of conversations will fuel innovation and growth and are critical parts of the clean tech transition. Thank you!
  • SYLinSD
    One of the few trustworthy podcasts
    Glad to see Shayle start this new podcast and not be beholden to “media interests.” I would rate this podcast to the same ratings as “Energy Transition Show”; but a lot less technical. It makes easy to follow the thought process with limited technical background. Very innovative thinking from investment angle of Cleantech business opportunities.
  • Bosco Rio
    The Best
    Simply the best energy/finance/climate tech podcast out there. Wholistic and engaging regardless of one’s level of knowledge in the field. So glad Shayle found a new home!
  • TomBolin
    Awesome
    Have been listening to him for years. Smart. Insightful. Good to have him on a new podcast.
  • Back in the MSSR
    Shayle Kahn for Life
    It’s clear the previous podcast owner wanted him gone - so glad Shayle can rock on in new form!
  • MelissaTXenergy
    Clean tech awesomeness
    Thrilled to see Shayle’s new show — just listened to the trailer and excited for episode 1 on 11 November. Great topic. Important topic.
