Each episode tells of people from communities around the world who are coming together to solve huge, vexing problems by creating innovative strategies that address difficult situations. Their work is improving their own lives & our world. And THAT is what we all need to learn about & to celebrate! Thank You!

paminaerterName your guests.A top podcast, science oriented, evidence based and giving hope. Though one thing you need to do is tag and name the people you interview.

midwestBlue9.13fake meat. i have eaten fake meat for a while and then i quit eating it due to the fact it is all so high in sodium. too much sodium. please solve that.

Eme@KenyaExcellent podcast!Great content. You have been able to present topics that are interesting to me as a parent along with my 11 and 8 year old. We listen to this on the way to school. The content provides me with lots of nuggets for teaching moments for them. For example, the other day we were speaking about supply, demand and prices. The gig workers episode was a perfect way to get them to understand how the 3 impact each other. And I learned a ton myself! Keep up the good work.

JO SeqInspiringIn a world that is so full of problems, this is such a refreshing podcast. Every week it outlines amazing solutions that innovative people are coming up with, a perspective that is rarely reported in the media. Truly inspiring!

Ringo36Much Needed News!Amidst a 24/7 cycle of horrible news comes "People Fixing the World." It highlights how often ordinary people around the world are responding to common problems that we can all learn from. More than merely feel-good news, the podcast analyzes the approach, challenges, and degree of success. Sometimes they have time to explore more than one approach. I love the global canvas, which is a wonderful reminder that no one country, region or culture has all the answers. The caring humanism and enthusiasm of the hosts are also appreciated. Great job, BBC World Service!
-
HuiziphoebeInteresting and encouraging podcastIt is really encouraging to know that there are people out there in every corner of the world trying to use their efforts to make our earth a better place. I learned a lot from this podcast, and I really like how they interviewed people in the podcast. Every effort and small step counts!

memily628Brain cuddlesWith so many reasons to be upset with current world events this podcast reminds you there are wonderful stories of real people doing great things.

MildlyrabidWell-doneIt’s not just saccharine “good news” but a practical, critical approach, after which even my skeptical self can hope :)
-

California Admires Ruiz TizonTrump saves the heroin addicts !!!So very inspiring to learn how USA President Trump saved the lives of those druggy losers !! Peace with North Korea. 105% employment globally! Is there nothing he can’t do ??
-
Daoning ZInspiring and well researchedA rare blend of optimism and realism, this podcast does a great job of presenting innovative solutions, explaining the solution's merits (often with numbers to back up the claims), and describing the limits of the solution. The episodes are packed with research, while the storytelling makes it great for casual listening. This is also the only podcast I've heard that asked for reviews without hinting at giving them 5 stars and I appreciate that 🙂

Rins#1New to podcastsHonestly a newby to podcasts here but want to say I really enjoy People Fixing the World. I listen in my car with my teens and it always creates opportunities for new discussions. Positivity and a sense of a our global village come in each episode.

bmac1894Things the U.S. NeedsThis is by far my favorite podcast. I’m constantly inspired by the people and solutions featured. Every episode, I think “Why don’t we have that in the U.S.?!”
-
Mingee2020PositiveRare positive news coverage. I have this in my podcast lineup to balance all the negative news out there. We will fix the world by living in harmony with her.

JboomahTells the truth.Finally a podcast that tells it like it is. They explore so many problems and the solutions that are being tried. Most of these type of podcasts paint everything in a positive light and everything is all sparkles and rainbows. This podcast asks tough questions, does this solution actually work, is there any evidence that shows it's working? Downloaded the entire back catalog and I'm working my way through it. Great work BBC.
-
Theresa B SayersInsightfulI like that this show has several different view points. Worth the listen.
-
OFL4GeniusExtraordinary in reporting, engaging in style and enlightening in content. Well done!
-
dettifossGood news, everyone!Finally an update on positive news! Each podcast presents one effort to use science and technology to tackle some of the problems we here about so often, from making biodiesel out of sewer fat to providing clean drinking water in developing countries using goats. Intelligently presented and with a refreshing optimism.

ChinatimtA dose of positivity!This a wonderful antidote to the plethora of negativity we are bombarded with on a daily basis. I regularly listen to an episode as I'm getting ready for bed so something positive is the last thing I listened to before sleep.
