David Roberts is, among many other interesting things, THE energy writer on substack @ volts.

He wrote a terrific article a while back on the Vox publication documenting Geothermal Energy. As you know – Geothermal Energy – is very close to my heart and in addition to my article ‘The Promise Of Geothermal Energy‘ this chat with David works to support my understanding of the real potential this clean energy proposes.

David now writes on substack under volts.wtf – The Volts Substack – and this is the place to read about clean energy online. The depth is fantastic and the breadth of understanding is impressive.

#29 Thomas Kanze | Global Digital Nomadic Trends With Nomadific CEO

Listen To This Interview As A Podcast Instead🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/thomas-kanze-interview/
Thomas Kanze is the CEO and Founder of Nomadific. One of the worlds most informative and helpful websites for digital nomads everywhere.
He, himself is a digital nomad and has had an extensive experience living throughout many in the world. He currently lives in Puerto Viejo – Costa Rica with his wife and children and has created a co-working space in this otherwise untapped slice of the Central American jungle. His hope is to make Puerto Viejo a hub for digital nomads.
Thomas and I spoke about many things but most interestingly I believe was the insights Thomas had into the trends of the Digital Nomadic movement. How Covid accelerated, how people are making money, where people are going and more inquisition along these lines.

#31 Tim Marshall | Power Of Geography, Geopolitics, Saudi Arabia & Space

Listen To This Interview As A Podcast Instead🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/tim-marshall-power-of-geography/
Tim Marshall returns to the podcast!

To continue along with the international theme and enormous popularity of ‘Prisoners Of Geography‘, Tim Marshall recently published the natural follow-on to this wonderfully geopolitical lens through which to measure the world... ‘The Power Of Geography‘.

It is the themes within this freshly minted book those which Tim and I discuss in this interview. Tim comments on everything from Australia to China to the UK to MBS to Saudi Arabia and even to space. Tim even comments on an accusation often made against him that he is taking a geographical determinist’s view of the world – making for a very interesting consideration for what are the actual building blocks of the world we currently inhabit.

Tim doesn’t disappoint with his broad geopolitical erudition.
