| 0:00.0 | There we go. Very good. Very good. Oh, that thing. Oh, it's nothing at all. It's just our |
| 0:27.4 | one million subscriber plaque from YouTube. I just thought I'd put it there. You know, where else am I going to leave it? |
| 0:34.5 | Anyway, welcome to the fully charged podcast and a very very... I think this is a huge privilege |
| 0:43.7 | for someone of my years to be able to do this, to talk to these people that I meet on |
| 0:50.5 | on the fully charged podcast. It's absolutely a real genuine privilege. And this week is definitely |
| 0:57.4 | no exception. This is a really, really big genuine privilege. I spoke to Dr. Hannah Ritchie, |
| 1:05.5 | who is the senior researcher and the head of research at our world in data. And if you haven't |

| 2:14.6 | that are emerging out of this... I don't actually really call it an industrial revolution, |
| 2:19.5 | but it's definitely a big sea changing the way we operate on the planet. And so it is a huge |
| 2:26.4 | privilege to chat with her. And I think I'll let her do the talking because she's far more |
| 2:33.9 | interesting than me. And I do. I only apologize now that I've got a little bit carried away. |
| 2:38.0 | It's actually just because I love the work she's doing so much. So I might talk a little bit. |
