Pielke on the Power Hungry Podcast
We talk politicization of science, Substack, Deion Sanders, IPCC, media coverage of climate and more
I always enjoy my conversations with Robert Bryce on his Power Hungry podcast. A new episode was just released — apparently my 5th appearance — and as usual Robert and I cover a lot of ground.
You can get it at:
And below is a video of the whole conversation. If you don’t subscribe to Bryce’s Substack, you should. As always, your comments and questions are welcomed. Please share around.
I’ve been listening to the Robert Bryce podcast for several months and didn’t realize you’d been on it before and were about to come on again. What a pleasant surprise!
Any recommendations for other podcasts would be welcome. I’ve kind of just stumbled onto the ones I listen to.
Great job, Roger. We never miss an episode of PH podcast (h/t Robert Bryce).
Off our usual topic, but based on cap/tie discussion and where you'd set age. "3 too young, NCAA level seems about right".
You must see the story of Katie Goldberg. In an ultra competitive rec ball program, she smoked every boy in her age group in baseball until the physicality caught up at age 13.
At 14 she moved to softball. Last year, she led the UVA softball team in RBIs (38) and was tied for team lead in HRs (12) as Junior.
The coach of the 12U (low majors travel, top twelve of that very competitive rec ball program) team in the video is former GA Tech 2 sport legend Randy Rhino. We personally shot this video and can attest to its authenticity (and, we apologize for any shaking camera. you don't see a girl hit 3 HRs in a 12U boys baseball summer tournament, including one Grand Slam, very often. FYI, her 4th AB was caught at the fence.).

Lest you think she was only a hitter, the longer video here shows her dusting 12U boys on the mound, running bases, too. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IithethfPo&t=1s
(and, if you watch closely in that video, you can see how organically she fit in with the other 11 boys on the team. THIS was the best-of-the-best you'll ever see youth sports... and we were very fortunate to witness it for several years, up close...)
