Host note: Back in August and future plans

We're on summer break and back with new episodes in late August 2026.That’s a wrap on the first half of 2026 and our 44th episode. Over the past 10 months, Let’s Talk Energy has surpassed 1 million views on YouTube, tallied more than 70,000 hours of watch time and totaled over 25,000 downloads across Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Thank you for spending your time with us We’re taking a summer break from early July to recharge. While we’re away, the full archive is there for the road trip, the beach or the river float. We’ll return in late August with new episodes dropping every two to four weeks while our regular producers are on family leave. We’ll be back to our regular weekly schedule in 2027. We’ve got a strong lineup taking shape for the fall, including some high-profile guests from major energy producers, supply chain giants and, of course, Rystad’s own expert voices. We’ll also have another dispatch from the sidelines of the Rystad Energy EMEA Summit in London in October. Got a question or a topic you’d like us to tackle when we’re back?
