Made for nature lovers and audiophiles alike, Future Ecologies explores our eco-social relationships through stories, science, music, and soundscapes. Every episode is an invitation to see the world in a new light — weaving together narrative and interviews with expert knowledge holders.The format varies: from documentary storytelling to stream-of-consciousness sound collage, and beyond. Episodes are released only when they're ready, not on a fixed schedule (but approximately monthly).This ad-free, independent podcast is supported by our community on Patreon: https://www.futureecologies.net/patrons

    Top 5 podcasts in my life
    The smoky voice of the narration gives me chills
  • paulanderer
    Indigenous informed ecology... with puns!
    This is a great podcast, I learn something new every episode. The weaving of indigenous perspectives with what science and government agencies are doing is amazing.
  • Dianedm
    Amazing
    I’m a recent graduate in environmental science and this show is incredible. THANK YOU
  • Pep_in_her_step
    Wow
    Man, what a gorgeous show. That’s all I got.
  • Justin 214180
    Phenomenal
    This show is so enjoyable and informative!
  • Golden State Naturalist
    So glad I found this podcast
    I always learn so much from Future Ecologies, and it’s because each episode is so well-researched and carefully crafted. The guests are always fascinating, Adam and Mendel offer meaningful commentary, and the show is highly produced, which makes it an easy and engaging listening experience. Thanks for making this, guys!
  • carlsjayyne
    Awesome podcast!
    The storytelling really brings the ecological concepts to life!
  • NYCisListening
    Ecology like a thriller
    If this podcast were a book, it'd be a pageturner. And that's not because Adam and Mendel simplify things. Instead, they take the obstacles in their protagonists' way plus whatever complicates their topic, and then they turn that into fascinating twists. I originally just wanted to understand kelp better when I found this podcast. Thanks to Adam and Mendel, I found a whole world of fascinating ecology stories.
  • ToriAKline
    Literally changed my life!
    This podcast is literally addictive, but I don’t even have to feel guilty about binging it because every episode is so educational and perspective altering. I’ve actually listened to almost every episode more than once because there’s so much material that I want to retain and understand better. Future Ecologies altered my career path, as I am now looking to go into a field of law that merges environmental science with indigenous property law. This is a niche I didn’t even know existed until this podcast!
  • MJH in Vancouver
    Wonderful, and keeps getting better
    Mendel and Adam dive deep into exciting worlds of discovery on these tours into the unknown. Their interviews are excellent, showing the twists and surprises in research, and the controversies that ensue. Their interest and attention to Indigenous history and on-going presence is a breath of fresh air, quite unusual compared to other explorations in our changing ecologies.

    My weekend listening during hikes. Transports me into a happy space while learning more about our natural world.
  • Zach @ EARTH LOVE // creative
    This is Great Work
    I want to thank the Future Ecologies team for such an insightful, intersectional, and relevant podcast - particularly for the effort to ‘decolonize’ and promote the voices we need most right now - Indigenous people, who retain and exhibit a kinship with nature (an ecological understanding of what it means to be human on Earth). Plus, the production quality is excellent. Anyone interested in ideas on how we can live more responsibly, and more fulfilled, as creatures on Earth, this is your podcast! Thanks, FE, I’m grateful for your work. 🌏❤️🌀 PS: subscribe on Patreon to support their work. I’ll be doing that soon.
  • Bill Nihilist
    Yes!
    10/10 will listen again and again
  • jkhappach
    Love it
    I have my BS in Ecology, and I really enjoy this podcast! They explore many facets of a subject and make it interesting for the listener. The editing is great for just two people so it in their free time. I also enjoy how they make an effort to highlight the indigenous populations of the areas they're talking about. I find it similar to Outside/In, another podcast I love.
  • Seungdong
    Insightful and useful... beautifully produced
    What a fantastic way to spend my day. Listen to the episodes many times to get new things out of them. Really useful information for those seeking answers to how the anthropocene is making the world a different place, and how we can be more aware of our impact.
  • ifceramics
    My favorite
    Relevant, well crafted, thoughtful. And you can tell that the sound design has a lot of work put in to it.
