5. Then and Now 25.11.2025

This week we're looking back... to what feels like another lifetime ago! However you spin it, the first quarter of the 21st century has brought about enormous change, but how much of that is for the better?

4. Conscious Christmas 07.11.2025

Too early for Chrimbo talk? Not if you want to make some nifty sustainable changes this year! Josh and Beth share a few ideas on a more conscious way to approach the festive season...

3. How to build community 17.10.2025

This week we come back to our most favourite topic: community. With a handful of 'top tips', Beth and Josh discuss the importance of doing the stuff in relationship, not in isolation.

13. An Ode to Vinegar 05.05.2025

12. Slow You Down 18.04.2025

We're talking taking it slow. Real slow...

11. We're ripping out our kitchen 23.03.2025

After almost four years in our first home, it's time for a spot of renovation. This week we chat about the sustainable decision-making that comes with a kitchen over-haul!

10. On Tour 07.03.2025

This week we talk travel... without the carbon... but with the kids... Spoiler alert: it wasn't exactly plain sailing.

9. We Had A Baby! 21.02.2025

When your podcast hosts are overtired and have brains like scrambled eggs... this is what you get. Enjoy the ramblings of Josh and Beth a few weeks after becoming parents again. We promise it is still vaguely on topic...

8. Circular Economy 07.02.2025

This week we're talking circular vs linear economy, and (as usual) how we can all do a little bit better with what we have and how we use it.

7. More More More 28.01.2025

This episode does exactly what it says on the tin... join the conversation and tell us where you've had a win or a loss when it comes to that terrible word... MORE!

6. Hope and Fear 10.01.2025

Its a brand new year, and we're kicking things off by talking about what motivators are most effective when discussing climate change and encouraging climate action. Jump on the conversation and let us know your thoughts!

5. Resolutions 28.12.2024

In preparation for 2025, this week we set ourselves a few goals… and predict which will end up in next year’s ‘wah-wah’s…

4. Generosity 13.12.2024

'Tis the season for giving, so this fortnight we talk all about it! Plus, we open up the conversation of why a culture of generosity is not as far from sustainable living as one might think...

3. Declutter 29.11.2024

It's Black Friday. So here's an incentive NOT to buy more things you don't need, but perhaps find sustainable ways of having LESS! In this fortnight's episode, Beth has too many pens and Josh has an idea for a new app...

2. Christmas Gift Guide 15.11.2024

As the evenings draw in and the frost begins to settle, here's a little guide to festive gifting... should you need to go new...

1. Update / Reboot 08.11.2024

We're back baby! After a few months away, Beth and Josh are back with season 2 of 'Woe Pod' and this week we're filling you in on what you've missed... with a few hints on what's to come!

25. Out of Office 15.08.2024

Happy 1 Year to WOE Pod! In this episode-ette, we round off a year of sustainable chats and get ourselves ready for more green goodness in season 2. And what better way to celebrate our birthday than by sharing your favourite episode with a friend! Go on... do it now before you forget.

24. (Beth hates) Recycling 25.07.2024

23. We're Giving Up 12.07.2024

22. Summer 28.06.2024

It's shaping up to be another sizzling summer in the UK, so we thought we'd chat heat, summer purchases and picnic culture. As ever, get involved in the conversation and share your summer stories.

21. Composting 14.06.2024

SHOW US YOUR COMPOST BINS! This week we (Beth) talk all things compost, debunk some common myths and (hopefully) encourage a few of you to try this at home! If you already compost, or are keen to try, share your thoughts/challenges/wins/wonders with us!
