Amazing Show - Minor Feedback

“I love O/I and how it engages the listener in seemingly everyday tasks and scenes that one can often overlook. There’s beauty around every turn. It’s there for us to see with a bit of patience and a curious mind. The O/I team seeks to cultivate that mentality and encourage deep engagement on natural ecosystems.
My only real feedback is in the opening theme. The show producers have received this feedback before but I feel it’s my obligation to reemphasize.
The show opens with the phrase “… is about the natural world and how we use it” or something along those lines.
This showcases a western philosophical perspective on nature. As an entity separate from humanity; here at our leisure to control and dominate. The phrasing almost suggests nature’s purpose is to serve human interests. Land and water to pillage and exploit. Quite anthropocentric.
O/I makes a consist effort to engage with the perspectives of POC and indigenous peoples. Something I appreciate, especially as a POC. I’m not indigenous, but recently completed some reading highlighting my own ignorance and shed some light some common themes amongst indigenous peoples of North America. The research presented the indigenous view of humanity as a part of nature. A participant in natural cycles and ecosystems. Not above or outside of it. Some indigenous land care practices completed over generations isn’t even centered around human need but rather what was identified for the overarching benefit of an ecosystem.
My point being, I do not believe words describing nature as a tool for humanity truly promotes the values of this podcast or a healthy view of the natural world. I’d suggest investigating other opening lines to take its place.
I will continue listening. Take care 😊

“I listen to lots of podcasts (reply all, radiolab, 99%, start up, etc) and feel like I unearthed a hidden gem. Great stories, great production value, and pretty different subject matter from the stuff I normally listen to. I’m not outdoorsy, so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't for...”Read full review »
