    I'm wondering about...
    Living Planet is a great program for opening eyes (and ears, of course) to so many environmental issues. Each topic is well researched and presented in a calm and thoughtful manner. If you have questions about current issues or are eager to learn about new ideas, this program is for you. It's also great to share.

    Timely and more inclusive.
    Living Planet brings to light more factors—in a more revealing way—than other news podcasts. Covers the world from an accountable first-world perspective.
