Dear Patrons,Here's the podcast for our latest Honest Government Ad about the fires.And by the way, thank you for helping us to produce that video - it had an incredible response: it was retweeted by Greta Thunberg and published on her FridaysForFuture.org website.It received praise from legends like cartoonist First Dog on the Moon, who said "this is the best work i have seen on the fires so far..."As well as from slightly more dubious characters, like former PM Kevin Rudd who said "it cracks me up".  (To which we responded that we hope it will still crack him up when we start making videos about Labor if their policies still include supporting coal & fracking at the next election)Anyway - I am really excited to bring you Episode 8 of our podcast, in which I have the pleasure of geeking out with my guest - Simon Holmes à Court.If you're confused about the so-called "energy debate", if you're wondering where we're *really* at with renewables, if you're not sure if our emissions are going up or down; and if you've even wondered wtf those Kyoto carbon credits are all about (OMG this is seriously the biggest shitfuyckery ever) - then this is the podcast for you!It's 45 minutes long, so stick it on your phone and go for a long walk - you'll be glad you did.Also, an important announcement:I'm trying something new here: from now on, I'll be uploading the Juice Media podcasts to YouTubeWhy? Because the podcasts have evolved into a rich companion to the Honest Government Ads, and I feel many will get a lot out of them. But unfortunately, relatively few people know about the them, since our audience is mostly on YouTube and Facebook.We have 300,000 subscribers on each platform, but only about 3,000 people download each podcast episode. Something just doesn't ad up.So, instead of keep trying to make everyone switch to a different  platform, I thought it would make more sense to publish the podcasts in the same place as our videos.  NB: we'll still continue publishing the podcast on our podcast host, as usual, for all the  podcast heads out there: so if you're subscribed you'll still see us in your podcast app feed./End of announcementI hope you enjoy episode 8 of the podcastYou can watch it on YouTubeOr listen via our podcast pageI'll be back very sooon with Part 2 of this podcast, in which I have the ridiculous honour of interviewing climate scientist Michael E Mann.And soon after that, with our next Honest Government Ad!Giordano

I'm really glad to see these on Youtube too as it is easier to share these!

Matt Odell

Mate I think this is the most important podcast iv listen too and I listen to pod casts all day at work averaging 8-9 a day and this is by far the best iv heard in 2 years since I started. Dont ever feel like a pod cast is to long as my favorite pod cast before this one came out was hardcore history blue print for armageddon and that was a 6 parter and each part was 6 hours or longer so se d it mate. Any chance I could get the uncut version? As I feel that information needs to be heard. Also got a link to info about that membrane the criso developed for the hydrogen to make ammonia?

I don't do the podcasts mostly because I have a huge list to listen to already. But great work.

still no transcript? I get that some people love spending hours listening to your voice, but I'm interested in content and I can read faster than I can understand speech.

thejuicemedia

Hi Moz, I'm doing my best here. I spent the best part of the past three days lining up the interview, recording, editing, publishing it to the podcast host, preparing an intro for youtube, etc. I understand that a transcript is important, and we will get to it. But we are a small team and we can only do so much. I am looking for someone to assist me with all this work, and when I have help we will be able to provide a transcript sooner.

thejuicemedia

Hi Matt, so glad you got so much out of this podcast. I agree, there's a lot of great info in there! I don't have the uncut version... I literally cut bits out. But dw, it was mostly filler and tangents. The juicy stuff is all there.

thejuicemedia

Thanks Annie, it's helpful for me to know if people find this helpful!

Shaky Tail Studios

NP, I did like the old one's, but yeah all my social media links and stuff are tied to Youtube (Curse Google!) so it is easier for me to link people too and organize and making informaiton as easy to access as possible is ideal for spreading knowledge.

Moz in Oz

Thanks for the work. Even a computer generated transcript would be useful.

thejuicemedia

Can you recommend a good way to create computer generated transcript? This would be really helpful!

Moz in Oz

Woohoo, thanks heaps for that! I haven't done it, sorry, I've just read other podcasts where they say "transcript may be approximate it was computer generated". I imagine the usual speech recognition software would do it but that stuff is pricey. Google suggests a few at $US0.10/min, so maybe that's the standard rate? But good luck getting the computer to spell Australien Governmunt properly :)

Moz in Oz

But somehow the transcript managed to get "stray in government" which is near enough for us :) And oh boy, reading that just makes me angry. Yes, the consistent lies and bullshit and trying to break the economics so renewables don't work and on and on. Fuck those fuckers. I was peripherally involved with the BZE renewables report back in the day and part of that was that it was entirely commercially available stuff, but we could do 100% renewable electricity for less than the cost of the Claytons NBN that Malcolm sold us. At the time it was "slightly more than the cost of the FTTH NBN" that Labour we selling us, but obviously we changed governments and oh boy didn't that go well for us.

Podcasts on youtube, awesome! I'd happily follow you to other video platforms too, one some other YT creators are trialing is lbry.tv Regarding the podcasts, and whether to have something visually play, I think Rich Roll's formula is a good one to emulate, and it's like many others out there too, such as Joe Rogan Exp (not that I watch his tripe). Anyway, the gal and I listened to your show last night over dinner, was great, thanks so kindly!!

thejuicemedia

So glad you and your daughter enjoyed the latest podcast - I hope you'll like the next episode, which should come out tomorrow! Will also check out Rich's podcast format... but I think it will be a little while until we're ready to do professional quality video podcasts. For now, I'd rather focus on making the contant good :)
