    Wonderful!
    WHWN is an absolute favorite! It’s obvious that N8 puts extraordinary effort into finding discussing imperative topics with guests that truly care about being a positive force in this world. I learn something from every episode - super grateful for such an awesome show!
  • Drvickery22
    Fun and Engaging
    You'll learn a lot from N8. The show takes many different approaches to exploring environmental issues and solutions, but they're all a lot of fun. It's a balanced show that considers lots of perspectives and doesn't take itself too seriously. Don't get turned off by the low production value of the first few episodes. There is some great content in there, and things get better and better over time. The most recent episodes are fantastic.

    Learn straightforward facts
    Nate is the best. He provides us insights on where we should address environmental challenges and how we don’t fall in the pits of greenwashing
  • Leesa Charlotte
    Love the show!
    I feel like I've learned so much about the environment in just a few episodes! I really love how it debunks ways people think they are "helping". Looking forward to seeing where it goes!
  • BastianGolf
