S2: European Union - Green Deal Part 3/4

🎙️ The Voices & The Context

• The Format: A casual, meandering conversation between two podcast hosts. It feels like a chat you'd overhear at a pub, but with a surprising amount of policy deep-diving.
• The Key Players:
  • Rich McCarthy: The UK-based host. An ex-teacher and house husband who brings a grounded, slightly exasperated, and practical perspective. He's the one who actually folds plastic bags.
  • Gorilla Boom: The German host. A wife, mother, and academic who provides the structured, policy-focused analysis. She's the "wounded badger person" who patrols footpaths to stop illegal badger hunting.
• The Vibe: Educational but Frustrated. The hosts are clearly passionate about the EU Green Deal, but they're also deeply cynical about government inaction and corporate greenwashing. The tone is a mix of "here's the brilliant plan" and "why aren't we doing this already?"
