It’s not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what’s left, it starts to look like a crime scene: Decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawl... more

  • For the Ones Who Still Care

    Investigative journalists are the real superheroes in the world today — capes optional, courage required. Lawless Planet exposes the villains in suits and the corporate empires poisoning our planet while pretending to save it. When those meant to protect us look the other way (or count their bonuses), this show shines a blinding light right into the darkness. Listen if you still believe truth can change things.

  • AMAZING PODCAST

    I don’t listen to podcasts very often, but this is one of the few I make exceptions for.

This podcast strikes the PERFECT balance between hard-hitting and informative journalism while also maintaining some levity so it doesn’t come off as too heavy. Ignore those reviews that are harping on political comments, do yourself a favor and listen to ONE episode and you... more

  • Trump

    While I like his journalism it is good. He won’t shut up about Trump, and keeps finding ways to put Trump into the video when I feel like there was no real reason. Maybe you shouldn’t constantly put in your own personal beliefs in educational settings.
