    Climate change becomes a memory
    An excellent thought evoking podcast. If we all listened and took actions climate change would be a memory not the ongoing threat it is.

    A must listen podcast for everyone
    This is my favorite podcast! The episodes are educational making you think critically about what is truly going on in the world and the brilliance of the animal kingdom and Mother Earth. It also inspires you to become an activist by exposing all the injustice and disregard of humanity and nature. After listening to this podcast, I wish I had become an ecologist!

    I listened to it, and forwarded it onwards. I have read Pollan, know this, and having experienced it myself feel that this is such a beautiful rendition of one’s experience. Thank you Bioneers for bringing it forth so.

    My people
    I have found my people through this podcast. Instead of feeling depressed about our Mother Earth and its demise caused by humans, I now feel up lifted and encouraged. It has motived me to do more, tell people, certainly SHARE this with others. I was delighted to see how many there were to listen to. Each one short but loaded with information, examples, movements, experiences, inspiration, and hope. Currently benging and loving it! Do not hesitate, listen to all these wonder people, with inspirational ideas doing influential things to save our planet.

    Be the change
    The news from D.C. each day seems to be designed to distract and even discourage positive thinking. Bioneers works against this by featuring the positives that can come from citizens working together and working with business. Need encouragement to be the change you want to see? This will help.

    Bioneers is one of my favorite organizations and this series of podcasts is absolutely must listening. At just under half an hour it's a perfect walking meditation. Thank you Bioneers!

    Such a great listen!!
    I love listening to each episode!! My mind is more open listening to the stories of advocates and activists. My heart is very happy!
  • RickTrevin
    You will not be disappointed!
    Nerds and Tree Huggers unite! There is plenty to tug on your heart strings, but you can be sure it’s also full of cutting edge science as well. In short, this podcast might make you fall in love with the human race again.
  • Libby182
    10/10 beautiful and empowering
    This podcast has become nearly the only podcast I need and love. Inspiring, informative, and extremely well put-together and produced, this radio series has the perfect amount of variety between episodes… but no matter the topic, I always feel inspired to make change and be grounded in myself after listening. These podcasts are really incredible, very surprised there aren’t more reviews!
  • Dharma dwelling
    Inspiring and educative
    Wow I am shocked to not find any other reviews – am I missing them? – of this podcast. It has quickly become one of my favorites. If you are interested in matters of environmental sustainability and justice, then I think this is essential listening. Also if you have a spiritual sensability that locates the sacred in all life. I am going to try to time one of my visits to the East Coast to coincide with their national conference in October. Very cool!
