Debt, Tomatoes and the Carbon Cost of Crypto

On this week’s Macrodose we bring you our second and final holiday special before we return to the regular show next week. We’ve picked 3 more of our favourite stories from the last year. First, should we worry about government debt (0:44)? Second, is Brexit to blame for food shortages (7:37)? And finally a look at the real environmental cost of cryptocurrencies (14:28).
