The Happy Heat Pump Podcast was made by BBC Radio 4 presenter Evan Davis and Bean Beanland of the Heat Pump Federation, aiming to inform the public about heat pumps. Davis posed questions to Bean, a heat pump aficionado, in short, digestible episodes covering installation, cost, noise, and alternatives to gas boilers. The podcast, which launched in 2024 with 20 episodes, ended in April 2025 because the BBC asked Davis to stop hosting it, fearing it could be seen as treading on politically controversial ground.
