It's too windy for my turbine
What's the point of a wind turbine that blows over due to excess wind? Absolute rubbish. Shouldn't be allowed. We discuss that today, as well as getting the latest on our quest to learn as much as we can about glass, before going big on graverobbing and traditional funerals. After that there's a deep dive on endangered species, with Pete being particularly concerned about the plight of the humble lemur. And, before we chip off, there's just enough time to take in some of your emails too, so don't miss that.If you want to join the celebrated ranks of those who have sent us an email, you can do so here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Hosted on Acast.
