Definitely not rubbish
This podcast has resolved 90% of our domestic conflicts, including a long running flexible plastics controversy and the great receipt dispute of summer 2024. Highly recommend!

Great fun & super-informative
Big recommendation if you’re even a tiny bit interested in our ‘throwaway’ world

Answered the questions I didn’t know I had
I’ve now binged the whole collection- and learnt so much about the recycling process. I’ve a ‘do my best in a busy life’ approach to recycling - this podcast has given me tips to make a couple of simple life changes. Because quite a bit of recycling advice is nuanced, a long form podcast is a much better way of getting info than googled newspaper articles. These chaps also know their rubbish, and I’m confident if I keep listening I’ll be up to speed with the latest advice as the processes update. Also, unlike most of the people who review or write in who seem to be friends of or related to the hosts (I’m guessing there’s quite a community of rubbish people that the pod landed with initially), I’ve never met or heard of them before this - so this is an independent review from someone who’s never sent James a glittery birthday card (but I pledge that I’d never do that on the unlikely chance I ever do meet you). Cheers chaps.

Very interesting
I love the enthusiasm and knowledge of both presenters on the subject. A very interesting subject, production is good and keep it up 👍🏻

Fascinating and never boring
I love this podcast. It’s a source of interest and fascinating facts, I always look forward to the next episode. I’m a keen recycler and love the depth of detail that gets discussed and amount of knowledge dispensed

What great show!
First up, disclosure, I know both James and Robbie. They didn’t however ask me to listen to or rate their podcast. I’ve just listened for the first time and I have to say that it is excellent. Very natural, entertaining, engaging and interesting. I would highly recommend. Great job!

We need more podcasts like this!
I was slightly concerned this pod would be very one sided but these guys are great! Full of fact and a smidge of fun, I highly recommend a listen

New favourite!
Who would have thought that talking rubbish could be so addictive! It’s that rare find of humour, informative, climate focus and good production quality. I’ve listened to a few podcast on sustainability and they can be hard work and sound poor but not with James and Robbie, they make would should be a dry subject… well not rubbish! Each episode I come away with a new aha moment and something to share.

Brilliant Podcast
So informative. Genuinely fascinating learning about the world of recycling! James and Robbie are fantastic knowledgeable, and funny, hosts. Highly recommend a listen.

Excellent and informative!
Such an interesting listen, keep the episodes coming!!

Keep dishing the dirt!
Really enjoying this podcast - this is presented in a practical way, helps make sense of a what is often a rubbish minefield! I was a bit sad that a comment from some people was that they can’t be bothered to separate useable cardboard waste on pizza boxes, or tear up birthday cards. Don’t eat the pizzas then or send the cards!

It’s Good Stuff!
This podcast delivers great up to date information and facts about waste, recycling, packaging etc in a really digestible way.

Informative banter
I love this podcast. Who knew recycling could be so interesting?! I am really enjoying the chatty style and the openness of the two hosts. Looking forward to more episodes!

Brilliant 🙌🙌🙌
Having purchased and very much enjoyed The Rubbish Book, this podcast is a great way to keep up to date with the world of waste and recycling and all the idiosyncrasies that go along with it! Love the interactions between James & Robbie who bring a lighthearted and fun touch to what can be some quite complicated processes. 4 episodes in & very much looking forward to what is to come. Awesome work! 🙌🙌🙌

Great Podcast
Insightful, informative and entertaining. Well done James and Robbie.

A great listen and a really helpful
The rubbish talkers James and Robbie are both very easy to listen to and so knowledgeable. Thanks for helping me be a better a citizen.

5 Star Rubbish
I’m only 2 episodes in and I love this ‘Rubbish’ Podcast. James & Robbie are honest and entertaining all in one. Loving the format of a Rubbish Issue every episode - tethered caps and coffee pods were both interesting and insightful episodes. A series that will bring a smile to your face and ideas to your waste stream. Can’t wait for the next episode

Great pod!
James and Robbie are legends in the field and know their (they’re 😝) rubbish. Hopefully all those myths can be put to bed. I have rose coloured spectacles in that I believe that if people know not only what to do, but why, they will do it. Keep up the brilliant work and thank you! Mike

Anything but rubbish!
This podcast is an excellent listen, debunking common recycling myths in a light hearted format. It delivers just the right amount of information without dumbing down some very nuanced topics, and gives practical advice on how to recycle better. Looking forward to hearing more!
