I love this podcast - it’s a beacon of positivity in a mire of bad news. Clever people doing things to save money, advance technology (for good means), help efficiency & save the planet & its people. What’s not to like?!

A top podcast, science oriented, evidence based and giving hope. Though one thing you need to do is tag and name the people you interview.

A weekly show presenting innovative and creative to complicated global problems. Sometimes I’m not directly inspired from the title, but often the people on the show are so inspiring that they make me enthousiast.

Both informative and smile-inducing. A welcome change from all the bad news, in every interpretation.

Great content. You have been able to present topics that are interesting to me as a parent along with my 11 and 8 year old. We listen to this on the way to school. The content provides me with lots of nuggets for teaching moments for them. For example, the other day we were speaking about...Read full review »

Finally a reliable news coverage of good news. With sufficient level of detail this podcast is a jewel! I wish it was produced more regularly. Keep up the good work! Thank you.

In a world that is so full of problems, this is such a refreshing podcast. Every week it outlines amazing solutions that innovative people are coming up with, a perspective that is rarely reported in the media. Truly inspiring!

Love this show, really interesting mix of topics, and some really hopeful stories. I’m binge listening back in time (mid 2018 now) a real favourite to listen to when the news is bleak and playing on repeat at present. Keep up the great work team.

Amidst a 24/7 cycle of horrible news comes "People Fixing the World." It highlights how often ordinary people around the world are responding to common problems that we can all learn from. More than merely feel-good news, the podcast analyzes the approach, challenges, and degree of...Read full review »

Full of good episodes, but please could you label repeat podcasts so I skip without having to listen part way through to be sure?

It is really encouraging to know that there are people out there in every corner of the world trying to use their efforts to make our earth a better place. I learned a lot from this podcast, and I really like how they interviewed people in the podcast. Every effort and small step counts!

Always well presented, well researched and interesting. Blend of hoping for the best with a healthy dose of scepticism
Trainfan007 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 08/07/19
It’s not just saccharine “good news” but a practical, critical approach, after which even my skeptical self can hope :)

A rare blend of optimism and realism, this podcast does a great job of presenting innovative solutions, explaining the solution's merits (often with numbers to back up the claims), and describing the limits of the solution. The episodes are packed with research, while the storytelling makes...Read full review »

I had to turn off the"Scanning Homeless People September 4 show. How sickening to hear total reinforcement of the idea that being homeless is somehow acceptable to all of us. Do you have a story about housing for the homeless? Young techies taking advantage of those who just happen to be less...Read full review »
