It’s no secret that the state of the environment is a hot topic and something that we’re all keen to keep an eye on. But wading through the onslaught of (let’s be honest, lately, pretty distressing) news to find the best updates and insights can be draining.
Aussie environment and news enthusiasts, Ash Webb and Kristen Amiet felt this fatigue and decided to do something about it. The result? Thriving Planet Weekly Wrap podcast, a bite-size, planet-shaped pod landing in your ears every Friday to share the best bits of sustainability news, without the fluff.
Sick of the clutter and confusion of infinite news platforms and over-saturated and undercooked analysis of sustainability and environment news, the duo streamlined the process with episodes that you can digest in the same time it takes to make your breakfast.
Coming in at under ten minutes an episode, Ash and Kristen shine a light on the big issues from what’s going on with the latest IPCC reports, to spotting sustainability in pop culture, like the producers on Love Island dressing the entire cast in second-hand clothing.
Discussing everything from pop culture, politics, good news, economics, social justice, scientific discoveries, innovations, recommendations and more, Thriving Planet puts an inquisitive lens on the environmental news you want to know about.
To get your weekly shortcut to the environmental news cycle, plug into the Thriving Planet Weekly Wrap here and visit their 'gram for a daily dose of info.
