| 0:00.0 | The Hello and welcome to another episode of the fully charged show podcast. |
| 0:23.8 | I have to say that these interviews are the highlights of my lockdown week. |
| 0:31.5 | It's been such a joy and a real privilege to be able to get in touch with these people |
| 0:36.4 | and bully them into coming on the show. It's not that hard because everyone's stuck at home anyway. |
| 0:41.8 | I think you're going to really enjoy this |
| 0:43.8 | conversation regardless of where you are in the world. It is you know pertinent to the |
| 0:48.1 | United Kingdom but it's also the topics we were discussing are very global. This week my wonderful guest is |
| 0:55.7 | Sean Berry who is the co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. Now one of the |

| 1:59.2 | watched or listen to these shows but that said I always reserve my right to judgment, but all that aside. |
| 2:07.4 | Scharnberry is just a really intelligent woman who's got a brilliant grasp of what's going on in the world, particularly in relation to the topics that we cover |
| 2:16.6 | on fully charged. One of the interesting things she says, and you'll hear her talk about this, |
| 2:20.6 | is the number of scientists or people with science degrees that are in the |
