Earth Day 🌎 Podcast Recommendations 2025

🌿 Nature's wisdom: explore podcasts that reveal Earth's hidden intelligence and consciousness

In partnership with

Curator:

👉🏽 Stephanie Welch & Emily Harris of Bioneers

Why this theme?

👉🏽A fundamental theme that our podcast, Bioneers, explores is nature’s intelligence. Many Indigenous cultures view the natural world as imbued with consciousness and understand that we are a part of nature, not apart from it.

Western science is slowly catching up. Research into the animal, vegetal, and fungal realms shows that they are teeming with organisms that make conscious decisions and respond intelligently to their surroundings. As we deepen our understanding of living systems, we’re learning a lot about models for human organization.

Here are some podcasts that explore nature for Earth Day 2025!
