An injection of hope

If you ever need a boost of optimism in our increasingly degraded world, then definitely give this podcast a listen. Well-presented interviews, no waffle, filled with inspiring people and stories of great things happening for our natural world. Wish there was more like this!

Beautiful, inspiring, uplifting

This is my favorite podcast of all time. Beautifully, wonderfully uplifting and inspiring. I could be having any level of a stressful day, and within minutes of listening, I’m smiling and practically skipping along the sidewalk (I listen on walks). Every guest is a true hero trying to save the miraculous life we have on our planet. Thank you Ben Goldsmith for bringing them to our ears and hearts.

Getting the Word Out

We are so bombarded with bad news on the environment, but there are so many ways of fixing it. Keep up the good work on getting the information out.

The Mighty Glenn

My new favorite podcast

By far the best Nature podcast I’ve heard. Fascinating to learn how humans are succeeding at rewilding when they try: Bringing beavers back to places they haven’t been for 1000 years, wolves rewilding the outskirts of European cities, and bison making a comeback in America and Europe alike. A pleasure to listen to Ben Goldsmith’s metaphors as well…a real gem.
