Tune In: Powerful Stories of Leadership and Innovation

Dear Bioneer,

Have you checked out our award-winning radio series and podcast yet? The Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature is in its 18th year of production, and it's only getting better.

Each episode offers listeners inspiration via dynamic presentations by leading social and scientific innovators, as well as in-depth interviews. We highlight the voices of grassroots leaders and others who are often marginalized or excluded from conversations by corporate media.

How to Tune In

As a non-profit media company, we rely on support from our community to keep producing media that sparks change. Your support, however much you can contribute, helps us to continue this work, featuring changemakers and stories that might otherwise not be heard.

"The news from D.C. each day seems to be designed to distract and even discourage positive thinking. Bioneers works against this by featuring the positives that can come from citizens working together and working with business. Need encouragement to be the change you want to see? This will help."

Listen to a sneak preview of our first program for 2019:

The Reluctant Psychonaut: How Psychedelics Changed Michael Pollan’s Mind

Here are some other listener-favorites from our latest award-winning series:

Whale Whisperers: Making Deep Contact | James Nestor: Author and adventurer James Nestor leads us on a deep dive into the mystery of marine mammal consciousness, and the story of how a small band of freedivers, pushing the limits of human endurance, is finding that saving the whales may become the story of the whales saving us.

Nature’s Intelligence: Interviewing the Vegetable Mind | Robin Kimmerer and Monica Gagliano: Potawatomi Indigenous ecologist and author Robin Kimmerer and evolutionary ecologist Monica Gagliano merge Traditional Ecological Knowledge with Western science for a surprising trip into the minds of mosses and chili seeds and the songs of corn. They agree what we really need today is a revolution in values, an “Honorable Harvest” of gratitude and reciprocity with our plant kin.

Real Change: The Political Gets Personal | Danny Glover and Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins: Actor-activist Danny Glover and Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, former CEO of Green For All, show how one sure path to resilience is to build community and social movements. That requires learning how to reach out across our differences – and it gets really personal.
