Hosted by Ronald Young Jr., Solvable is a series of conversations that cut through the noise surrounding our biggest global challenges. Instead of just outlining the problems, each episode focuses squarely on actionable ideas and the people developing them. You’ll hear from pioneering scientists, community organizers, policy experts, and other innovators who are rolling up their sleeves. These discussions, brought to you by Pushkin Industries, refuse to shy away from complexity, yet they are grounded in a tangible sense of possibility. The dialogue consistently circles back to a central, motivating question: what does a practical path forward actually look like? This approach makes the podcast a refreshing listen for anyone weary of doomscrolling and looking for substance beyond the headlines. It operates on the conviction that even the most daunting issues can be broken down into manageable parts. By focusing on credible solutions, the series builds a compelling case for optimism that’s rooted in hard work and ingenuity. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration that balances clear-eyed analysis with the genuine hope that comes from seeing progress in action.
