Dear PatronsHere is the podcast companion to our latest Honest Governmet Ad about Carbon Capture and Storage. Thank you so much for all the positive feedback to the video. We feel so blessed to have such a supportive community behind us - you inspire us to keep upping the ante and the quality of the work we do. In this podcast, we get into much more depth on the topic of our latest video with an expert on Australia's climate and energy policy: Richie Merzian - Director of the climate and energy program at the Australia Institute; and a former representative for the Australian Government at UNFCC climate conferences.You might remember him from our podcast about the Kyoto carryover credits: Richie is not only super savvy about our government's climate shitfuckery, but also a super entertaining speaker - which is why I'm stoked to have him back on the podcast. We talk about CCS, Blue Hydrogen, and about other heinous bullshit happening right now which illustrates in detail how "State Capture" operates and how much it has corroded the integrity of our government.If you enjoy the podcast, please recommend it to your friends and family so that we can help to raise public awareness and literacy around climate and energy policy - and hopefully help us to collectively make better informed choices at the coming federal election.A huge thanks to Ellen who is now helping me to edit and produce the Juice Media Podcast. And as always, thanks to all of you - our Patrons - for making it, and the Honest Government Ads possible. I'll catch you in a few weeks for our next Honest Government Ad. Till then, take care and stay safe.💛 Giordano

As usual, enlightening and infuriating. If the rest of us were to try to pull off what the government is doing in terms of spin, we wouldn't be employed for very long.

Saar Ron

great podcast :) . keep up the good work, i'm sure your impact is huge! I hope we would finally start investing our time& efforts in the obvouius right solutions.

The corruption is mind blowing! What lying, greedy grifters the fossil fools are with these CCUNTS P.R. ploys! As for hydrogen, I purport that even "green" hydrogen is a fool's errand. The problem is that it is energy wasteful: you might as well put the renewable electricity into much more efficient batteries: http://bit.ly/fcv_ev I really, honestly think that the organizers in Glasgow need to show this latest "Honest Government Ad" to all the attendees on the opening night —as well as so many of your other "Ads" every night thereafter. It is so important to openly EXPOSE the fossil fools' bullshit so that they can't use their smoke-and-mirrors to undermine real, practical, workable, strong commitments at COP 26.

Well done and very understandable. I appreciate the plain talk on all your podcasts. My background is in the construction industry, which is highly organized around budgets & deadlines. When milestones are missed early in a project, it becomes increasingly difficult and sometimes impossible to meet the end date that everyone depends on. Delays cost everyone money, both along the timeline as well as at the end. The casual approach of deadline management for the climate & environment is exasperating, if not infuriating, especially when you understand the "marketing" strategy of corporate interests to delay meaningful change as long as possible. Thanks for continual reminders that we need governance that puts the good of the planet ahead of the $$.

Luc Gagnon

Thank you for your excellent work, I really enjoy these follow up podcasts!

Sandra Kirby

Many thanks Giordano and Richie. All so much clearer now and more brazenly horrifying. Your graphics are splendid, especially the referencing of Coca Cola and McDonalds! More depressing news today I’m sorry to say, with pro fossil fuel lobbyists finding more traction that climate change activists and Britain cravenly omitting climate requirements from the trade deal with Australia. Keep spreading the truth in your fantastically clever and polished videos and podcasts. All style+substance 💪🏻👌❤️

Thanks Sara, and yeah the story about the UK/Aus trade deal is bonkers - what a bunch of bastards these people are

David Bishton

The Guardian also has a good article today on "wokewashing" in fossil fuel industry ad campaigns.

Jeremy Cooke

Genius Delivery. I love Aussie humor.. Any resource to have a poke at the UK Gov. THIS is the content and outcome that Patreon probably imagined. Patreon Posterboy. 2021.

PS Congrats to the Honey Badger

PHILLIP PONTON

Thank you, if only everyone cared enough to get off their backsides, hope Anus Taylor has a stroke, soon.

Michael Heyes

Since energy companies are global, we can expect the same BS in America. The podcast was certainly knowledgeable and will post proudly.

Kirsten

Brilliant and devastating all at once. Thank you for drawing attention to these important matters in a factually intelligent and humorous way.

John Simpson

Loved listening to my first JM podcast and meeting the brilliant team that produces the very professional and entertaining videos which exposes the bullshit and shit fuckery of the despicable LNP. I've loved your truthful and entertaining videos from day one and being a graphic designer for most of my life I appreciate the quality of the graphics and presentation. My only tiny criticism is that quite often I find that they are a bit too fast to take in, what I'm saying is that I like to read what I'm seeing and I find that they often jump to the next image before I've had time to read what's on screen. However, I realise that there is a timeline to stick to but the information you're showing is critical for viewers to understand otherwise some viewers might not get the full message. Anyway for what it's worth I love your work plus it's exposing the corruption by this despicable government, keep creating guys until we can dump the LNP.
