Sad the pod is over

Each a powerhouse of intelligence and wit in their own right, together Amy and Mary make a stellar duo. Hot Take is the best way to keep up to date on climate without feeling paralyzed by the problem. Thank you for everything the past few years, and I hope you work together again soon!

Crooked Media do better

The only energy/climate podcast that speaks truth to power.

These women deserve support and a voice. Their message exposes truth no one will talk about.

To crooked media, cancelling the show is easy; keeping it going may be challenging. Rise to the challenge.
