About this listen

This week’s skies are putting on quite a show — with dramatic thunderstorms rolling across the UK and Ireland. But did you know that in 1993, Russia tried to beam sunlight down to Siberia using a giant space mirror? That bold experiment is just one chapter in the fascinating story of geo-engineering.


In this episode, we explore:

⚡️ This week’s wild weather and the outlook for the next few weeks.

🇬🇧 How we celebrated VE Day and how terrible we both were at cycling.

💰 The £50 million government investment into geo-engineering trials — are there any parts of the scheme we can get behind?


From storm clouds to climate tech, it’s a journey through the past, present, and future of our skies.
