Talking Rubbish is a podcast bringing humour, insight and expert advice to one of the most misunderstood topics, waste.
Hosted by sustainability experts Robbie Staniforth and James Piper, the rebranded weekly show tackles everything from household recycling to global environmental challenges.
The pair, who are also good friends, mix facts with fun to challenge misconceptions and explore practical solutions to reduce waste.
Sponsored by Ecosurety, the packaging compliance EPR scheme, Talking Rubbish features segments such as “Trash Talk”, where Robbie and James swap weekly recycling observations, and “Rubbish or Not?”, in which they tackle curious sustainability questions such as “How green is a Taylor Swift concert?”
Endorsed by The Guardian as “rarely dry”, the show has also featured guests like climate comedian Stuart Goldsmith and James Cropper’s Rob Tilsley, known for innovations in coffee cup recycling.
Future episodes will explore topics including microplastics discovered in human brains, and a new campaign for compostable dog poo bags, launched by the podcast itself.
Listeners can expect reliable insights, surprising truths and laughs, whether they’re eco-enthusiasts or just trying to recycle more effectively.
Talking Rubbish is available now on all major podcast platforms.
