Description

The Listening Planet, podcast series draws from a lifetime of recording the natural world across more than 60 countries and five continents, offering listeners an intimate journey into Earth’s most remarkable soundscapes. Each episode immerses audiences in authentic recordings of birds, mammals, insects, amphibians, and entire ecosystems — from fragile rainforests and vast oceans to deserts, wetlands, and remote wilderness. Through these soundscapes, you reveal the hidden voices of nature, the rich diversity of global biodiversity, and the changing health of our planet. Blending storytelling, science, and decades of field experience, the series invites listeners not only to hear the natural world, but to understand its beauty, its complexity, and the urgent need to protect it for future generations.
