SLE Podcast!

Dear folks,

some of you suggested this newsletter might do well in audio format too. I’m not saying that isn’t true, but at the very least, it’s work in progress 😁. Introducing the Social Life of Energy Podcast! Once I get the technicalities in order, you will be able to download these episodes wherever you get your podcast fix. For now, you can hit play somewhere from here!

The first episode is me reading out loud an earlier issue on gender and renewable energy. I chose this one because tomorrow, I’m basically back with the follow-up. As announced last week, I’ll be interviewing Marielle Feenstra about her work on gender and energy poverty.

I’ll keep reading out older issues, at least the ones that you seemed to like, judging by the open rates. Basically, I’ll experiment a little, to see what works.

Till tomorrow,

Marten
