*HELP REQUEST*

From April, #LocalZeropod will be looking for new funding to keep it going. We never imagined that almost 3 years ago that we’d rack up nearly 60k listens across 130 countries & 80 episodes archived on www.localzeropod.com

We've spoken with incredible people including Chris Stark Jim Skea Hugo Tagholm Rebecca Willis Polly Billington etc

We've also showcased so many amazing local initiatives across the UK & beyond, e.g. energy, transport, food, music & land. /1

Got a PhD, MSc or undergrad looking to work on sustainability?

#localzeropod has 77 episodes now, all fully transcribed. They would make an excellent data repository for students, given we've interviewed well over 100 people across a multitude of subjects on local climate action.

How are we halfway through August 2023 already? No really, how?! The #localzeropod team are joined by Jeff Hardy to discuss both personal and broader energy highlights and lowlights of the year so far. Listen wherever you consume your pods!

As we have recorded the 75th episode of #LocalZeropod this week, let me reflect on some lessons from the past 2 1/2 years.

No1: It's who you reach, not how many you reach.

If I had a penny for every time someone I respect had said "oh I heard XXX on your pod the other day" I'd have well, maybe 50-60p. But each time, it has meant a lot. It feels we've reached out to many of the influencers we wanted to.

Calling #Edinburgh #climate folks. We have a special coming up for #LocalZeropod and keen for guest(s) to sit alongside our current speaker, who can offer compelling insight into what is/is not working well as part of the city's #netzero transition.

Please reply or DM. Thanks

Very good.

Similar #GroundSource #HeatPump based #HeatNetwork happened near to me in Swaffham Prior, Cambridgeshire:

@matthannon - a couple of projects that maybe of interest for #LocalZeroPod

Another fantastic #LocalZeroPod episode!

@edcrooks Welcome Ed. We run another energy and climate themed podcast called #localzeropod.

Would be great to trade notes some day : )

Ep 3 in Local Zero's 4-week focus on Innovate UK's Prospering From the Energy Revolution (PFER) projects is live!

This week: Skills & Supply Chain challenges - with SSEN Transmission's Melanie Bryce, and Louise Alter of EQUANS.

We had a couple of technical issues getting this one online but these have now been resolved.

Please take a listen at the below for your inside take on how we go about financing smarter, more local energy places 👇👍

Thanks @Stephencrown

@matthannon @petereastern @kenbone @stevewebster56 have you considered doing an episode for #LocalZeroPod to aid people with best practices for #HeatPump ?

I see you’ve had Nathan van Gambling and Adam Chapman on before, but would be worth having even a segment on this.

Remember: #HeatPump efficiency (from being able to lower flow temperature from say installing more or bigger radiators) is equivalent of other energy saving measures. Subtle.

New #LocalZeroPod out now.

Feb may be the shortest month but it is also PACKED with #LocalZero. We have new eps EVERY SINGLE WEEK, on @innovateuk's #PFER innovation funding.

LISTEN: https://pod.fo/e/162114 or wherever you get pods.

Today: @CarbonDescent's @chrisdunham70 & @RegenCommun1ty's @MerlinHyman.

@drsimevans @matthannon -
Looks like this could be relevant for #LocalZeroPod discussion, as “local” might be more complex in practice than first thought in theory.

Useful report link in toot above ☝🏻

@matthannon

Just listened to the great #LocalZeroPod podcast episode just released on this topic called:

“Rate my Council: Climate Emergency UK’s Climate Action Scorecards”

https://podfollow.com/localzero/episode/7615053892179aab87259e373a8d82c7f0a5257c/view

I note my own local council (Fenland District) is woeful just like yours is @matthannon !

Tomorrow on #LocalZeroPod we speak with Climate Emergency UK about their Climate Action Scorecards, which tracks and rates every UK council's #netzero strategy.

Really looking forward to it.

Here is Glasgow's for illustration.
