This week on CleanTalk, Director-Producer Luke Harmer visits Tamarindo in Oxford to explore the world of renewable energy journalism, communications and public relations with Insight Director Richard Heap.

Richard's writing career journey has taken him through the industries of property development, music, construction and now, renewables, where he sits at the cutting edge of industry development and helps professionals across the sector make better, more informed business decisions.

In this conversation you'll learn how Richard has been able to tap into his passions and strengths as a professional, the tensions of click-bate conscientiousness in B2B reporting, where he sees key developments occurring in the European offshore market, and what advise he has for new journalists diving into their roles in the age of AI.

Enjoy!
