I love to explore natural unspoiled places, both near and far from where I live. Listening to these podcasts—which include descriptions of natural habitats, sometimes brief sound recordings of habitats, scientific background info and political issues that must be confronted to protect them —...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to LOE for over 15 years. It’s my #1 and I will always come back. Heartfelt, science driven, creative, and a balance between the hard truths of the climate emergency and optimism for a better future.

Remarkably well researched, deeply grounded, and unintuitively, positive and good for my heart. I am so grateful for the work this team is going and for bringing me much needed worries of people fighting the good fight. Wow

Critical information that all of us on earth need to hear. Informative science back truth that should be on our nightly news, but isn’t this podcast? Should be mandatory for all of us to listen to. It allows me to stay focus on doing my part. Thank you. Living on earth for sharing the info.

This podcast is the opposite of Joe Rogan. It is well-informed, well produced, evidence, based, and idealistic. This ought to be the top podcast in the world right now. Spread the word!

Literally and metaphorically. Interspersed with useful information occasionally.

I believe that waste management is an important part of the climate change movement, and one material that is constantly posing a threat is plastic. I really appreciate you devoting an episode to this topic in your most recent episode. I will definitely share your podcast show with my family,...Read full review »

I’ve listened to the show for years, when it’s on the radio and feel it covers interesting topics and has a good selectionsof guests, but the thing that bothers me is that it sounds so rehearsed and scripted, like “I’ll say this, and then you reply with this” type stuff. Nothing seems natural...Read full review »

Living on Earth is amazing with their subjects and in depth knowledge. Sometimes it’s sad how humans are destroying so much, yet the host gives us hope in the end.

I have enjoyed Living on Earth for years . It carried interesting stories of people taking action to protect our planet from environmental destruction. But in early February I heard a troubling segment that changed my opinion of the program. An interview was broadcast with Natalie Ma of...Read full review »

Love Living on Earth! It is my companion on Saturday morning as I make my tea. I appreciate the various angles to important environmental issues.

Would like to trash the episodes I have listened to, but the trash symbol just slides back to fast to touch it!

I love this Podcast and I might have guessed that Steve is a fellow Westtown alum...Peace and thanks, Friend.

Overall Living on Earth is a great podcast that could be improved significantly by eliminating hurtful prejudices and biases.

This is the first podcast I listen to each week!

After enjoying this podcast for a few months, I was totally impressed with the interview with Pattie Gonia. It featured some surprisingly top notch interview questions with great answers. The podcast has a great range of environmental topics and perspectives.
kegrimm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/20
This is one of the best environmental podcast I’ve ever listened to, there aren’t a lot of pods that can appeal to anyone from a newcomer to someone more knowledgeable about the science. Steve does a fantastic job making it accesible.
Zeta iron man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/20
Seriously one of the coolest podcasts available. So informative, and real, without all the bells and whistles typically found on news magazine type pods. Thank you.

What now? After the Spanish flue pandemic nothing changed the Industrial revolution and wars charged ahead destroying whatever lay in its path. Forests ,water ways, animals , forests and plants . At the same time human population growth was increasing and is out of control today. One has to...Read full review »

LOE is a truly balanced treatment of environmental news and ode to nature. Yet as the program often attempts to establish a platform for multiple perspectives to be aired, that air can become cloudy and toxic when the reporters/hosts choose to not challenge guests with more incisive and critical...Read full review »
Living in Venezuela via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/20
I’m a big fan of this show - have been for years - when it was on public radio. I’m truly flummoxed and disappointed by the show’s allowing Senator Murkowski to come on and defend exemption of the Tongass from the roadless rule as advanced by Trump. This is a complete reversal to what other...Read full review »

ecogoonet via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/02/20
It’s hard keeping up with environmental news and it’s social implications. I love the weekly bite-sized bits that give me enough info to stay informed, along with the glimmer from lighter stories of connection.

Premier environmental podcast version of the premier environmental radio show
M Isles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/19
Hosts let their expert guests do most of the talking. Guests are insightful and engaging.
Rodney Amadeus Anonymous via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/01/18
I am so glad that there is a show out there with a science-based perspective on these topics. Bravo!
Grapplearts.com via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/25/18
Great source for environmental news events and some science/politics/history of what is going on. My favorite thing about the show is that they include happy news as well! Even though there is a lot of stuff that needs to be worked on to help the environment, this podcast provides a positive...Read full review »

I have tried to listen to this multiple times, and each time it has been a nauseating experience.

I tune in from Europe to this comprehensive and informative show. Always learn loads and value it above all other shows at the moment.
niki431 via · 12/30/13
I'm always interested in the environmental updates, but more the gentle tone of the broadcasts.  Soft, like nature.  I wake up early on the weekend just to hear it.

LOE use to be one of my most favorite shows, but lately I have noticed more and more cheer leading for corporate interests and guests representing those interests go unchalleneged. This is a great disappointment and a great disservice to LOE listeners and the general public. I listen to LOE to...Read full review »

...In radio broadcasts about the environment. Where is a sixth star when you need it? I've listened to a couple podcasts about the environment, but I haven't looked for other sources for green news for at least 2 years. Steve, Bruce, and all the gang are simply that good.Read full review »
