Welcome to People, Planet, Progress, broadcasting the first and third Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm, following Alan Stahler’s “Soundings,” only here on KVMR.

Today we cover as many interesting news headlines as we can as we wrap up the year, from Sierra snowpack to climate-friendly farming, and more on the American media and political silence around climate change.

We end with another page from the 365 Days of Personal Climate Action Inspiration book.

For questions, comments, or links to news we read, please email ppp@kvmr.org.

Feel free to visit our social media page for daily news headlines in between shows.


Tune in to People, Planet, Progress for a grounded conversation that goes beyond the headlines. Host Martin Webb, broadcasting from KVMR-FM, focuses on the tangible, often local, steps being taken to reshape our connection with the natural world. This isn't just about problems; it's a close look at the solutions and the people implementing them. Each episode serves as a dispatch on the evolving relationship between communities and their environment, highlighting practical innovations and cultural shifts. You'll hear stories of how individuals and groups, both nearby and across the globe, are actively strengthening their ties to the planet. The podcast dedicates itself to documenting the forward motion, the genuine progress being made in science, stewardship, and sustainability. It’s a regular source for those who believe in actionable information and want to listen to narratives of repair and resilience. Martin brings a clear-eyed perspective to these discussions, offering the latest updates without alarmism. This KVMR production airs live on the first and third Tuesday of each month, but as an on-demand podcast, it captures those conversations for anyone interested in the ongoing work of building a more thoughtful future. The tone is informative yet accessible, turning complex ideas into relatable stories about the intersection of human ingenuity and ecological health.
