Look out Joe Rogan! The Power Hungry Podcast is live!
Happy Friday morning,
Look out Joe Rogan! Congratulations on licensing the rights to your podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience, to Spotify for a cool $100 million. Well, I have just launched the Power Hungry Podcast and I betcha that pretty soon, Spotify is going to be knocking on my digital door, too!
Kidding aside, I've been thinking about launching a podcast for a while and now I've gone and done it. The Power Hungry Podcast is available on more than a dozen platforms, including Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and several others. If you visit this site on Buzzsprout, you can take your pick.
In the first episode of the Power Hungry Podcast, I talked with my pal and colleague, Tyson Culver, who directed and produced our new documentary, Juice: How Electricity Explains the World, which was released earlier this month. (You can rent or buy Juice on iTunes, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and many other streaming sites).
Tyson and I talked for about 45 minutes about the making of the film, the challenges we faced, and our most-memorable interviews in Lebanon, India, Iceland, and Puerto Rico. Tyson allows that of the places we visited, Beirut may have been his favorite. (Tyson is also the producer of the Power Hungry Podcast.)
We've had some darn good reviews of the film. For instance, Matt Shiverdecker of the Austin American-Statesman recently wrote this: "Bryce is a gifted storyteller, and Culver matches his passion with a visually compelling and fast-paced feature. The highest compliment I can pay the film is that in the course of its breezy 80 minutes, I wanted to learn more about all of the different power resources and to take a deeper dive into many of the locations that the creators visited."
I'm proud of Juice. Tyson did a great job making it visually compelling and in stitching together all the interviews. So,if you have a few minutes, tune into the podcast.
Next week's edition of the Power Hungry Podcast will feature my interview with Michael Shellenberger, an environmental activist and former candidate for governor of California, who has just published a new book, Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All. It's a remarkable book.
The third episode of the podcast will feature one of the world's top science writers, Matt Ridley, who also has a new book out. His book, his ninth, is titled How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom.
Check out the Power Hungry Podcast. And tell your friends about it.
Thanks y'all.
