P/P/P...Nov 4, 2025...GO OUTSIDE!

Author: KVMR-FM November 5, 2025 Duration: 3:43

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.

We talk about recent ground breaking research on the connection between the nature that's outside us and the nature inside us, as well as the benefits to our health of living in a healthy ecosystem, and which nations on the earth are the most-connected to nature vs least-connected, and how there's a direct link to how each nation treats the envorinment as a result. Then we touch on the latest polls that prove Americans continue to be overwhelmingly concerned bout global warming, yet paralyzing afraid to talk about it because they think no one else cares, and how the Democrat Party plans to avoid talking about climate change at all, based on their political polls.

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

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.
