  • Insightful podcast

    At a time when everyone has a podcast, it’s so refreshing to hear one that always introduces me to new ideas and great guests. The hosts are excellent interviewers and are so great at going deep with the guests in less than an hour and keeping it super relatable. This is definitely one of my new favorite nature podcasts.

  • Fascinating and Fabulous!

    I love this podcast!

    Biophilia is a relatively new acquaintance for me, but Jennifer and Monica are both so interested, so involved, so knowledgeable, and so articulate, that my knowledge and appreciation of this huge topic is growing exponentially, as I listen.

    Their guests are always top calibre and the podcast’s content is always fascinating.

    Thank you, both of you, for all you’re doing to help spread the word about this vitally important topic.

  • Fascinating topics and guests

    I really enjoy Biophilic Solutions: Nature Has the Answers, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the human connection to nature, and Biophilia, the innate connection that human beings seek with the natural world. I just listened to the episode with Brian O’Donnell about Safeguarding Biodiversity. Thank you for the invaluable takeaways.

  • Absolutely brilliant

    A very insightful and thought provoking podcast. Very interesting to hear how climate and lifestyle issues are being tackled in the USA. Shows how many of the issues there are the same in Europe. Love how ideas are presented so as not to be put forward as a you must do this.

    I enjoy listening to every episode whilst working in my local park tending to the roses and plants.
