The RAW MATTERS podcast has reached a significant milestone, celebrating 1,000 followers. While this number might not seem impressive in the vast landscape of social media, it holds substantial meaning for a niche podcast dedicated to addressing complex issues within the mining and critical minerals sectors. The podcast, which aims to foster informed discussions and enhance public understanding of the intricate relationships between critical minerals, industrial policy, clean technologies, climate action, economic resilience, and strategic autonomy, has garnered appreciation from its guests, listeners, and supporters.
Launched just six months ago, RAW MATTERS was conceived with the intention of transcending siloed debates and promoting a holistic view of the mining industry and its impact on various sectors. The podcast’s mission aligns with the growing recognition of the importance of critical minerals in achieving sustainable development and climate goals. As highlighted by guest Salvatore Pinizzotto, the podcast advocates for a comprehensive approach that encompasses financing, permitting, legislation, mining, refining, and cleantech manufacturing, all working in concert to address the challenges facing the industry.
Looking ahead, RAW MATTERS is gearing up for its second season, with the first recordings scheduled to commence on 15 September. Listeners can catch up on all 12 episodes of Season 1, hosted by Peter Tom Jones and Julia Poliscanova, available on platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. The podcast continues to strive for a systems perspective in its discussions, aiming to contribute to better decision-making in the critical minerals sector and beyond.
