Who the hell is The Curious Environmentalist anyway?

I am absolutely delighted that the first episode of The Curious Environmentalist Podcast is being released at 10am TODAY!

This has really been a labour of love and I have been absolutely riddled with imposter syndrome, but I am putting myself out there, no matter how messy, with the belief that I will grow and progress whilst I do! 

The Curious Environmentalist Podcast – S1, Ep1: Who the hell is The Curious Environmentalist anyway!? (2023)

As I write this, it is a few days before this post is being published, it is HOT today and I am definitely not sat in my pants whilst I work!! The glamour! It’s really scary to be putting this out and not knowing what the reaction will be – if anyone even listens! – but I am proud of it and I am excited to step out of my comfort zone.

Episode 1 is a small introduction to me and what I hope the achieve with this first series of the podcast, plus you get a book recommendation and hopefully a glimpse at my personality.

Have a listen and let me know what you think! 🙂
