  • Escape the world, return to Earth

    Every episode is an immersive and awe-inspiring experience of catharsis—an escape from the busy modern world, and a return to life on Earth.

    I'm overwhelmed with appreciation for everyone involved in the process of capturing the field recordings all around the world, and then sharing them with the rest of us through Earth.fm. Thank you.
