For everyone who's informed, outraged, and ready to do something about it.

You listen to the podcasts that help you understand what's happening.
This is the one that helps you do something about it.

The Most Important Question is a 6x Webby-nominated, 2x Signal Award-nominated weekly conversation with the scientists, doctors, journalists, activists, and policymakers who are actually solving the problems everyone else is just talking about.

Host Quinn Emmett finds them, goes deep, and closes every episode with the part no one else gives you: specific, concrete actions you can take — at the personal, local, or national level — to help move the needle.

Put simply: Important, Not Important makes you a better person and helps the world. What Quinn and team are doing with these exceptional conversations gets at the heart of how we can make an impact on the critical issues that we so often feel helpless to attack. The discussions are lively, heartfelt, funny, and informative. I love the science-based approach and the bigger picture view combined with individual actions that empower listeners to make change in their own lives while pushing for even greater action. We are all better off because this exists.

I look forward to every episode and one of the few I listen to twice to make sure I digest all of it. Global in scope and lokal in importance.
