0:19.6	including a series that we're co-reporting with Huffpost about how the fossil fuel industry
0:24.5	has infiltrated the public school system. And before that, some episodes on the financial
0:31.6	situation that the oil and gas industry has been in and why you should not believe the
0:36.7	hype that they need a coronavirus bailout. In the meantime, I will occasionally be dropping
0:41.6	episodes in this feed of other climate-related shows that you might like. First up today
0:47.5	is the latest episode of Hot Take with myself and Mary and I East Heggler. We had David Wallis

2:30.4	to talk to him. I feel like he was the perfect person to have on amidst all the coronavirus stuff too.
2:35.8	Yeah exactly. So we didn't actually even though we're in the same city, David and I and we didn't

2:48.9	Fortunately. Oh my god I need to shit to end so fast. I really really really used it.
2:53.8	I know. Yeah. Yeah. So can I make a confession? I always whenever I see David's initials, I always
