Wind Is the Original Radio

earth.fm

This podcast series is aimed at helping us to connect to ourselves and to our earth by deep listening to natural soundscapes.

Based on empirical evidence as well as numerous recent studies from all over the world, listening to natural soundscapes (particularly mindful listening) has a great positive impact on our wellbeing, and potentially on our respect for nature. However, these soundscapes are increasingly scarce as we humans continue to destroy the natural ecosystems which produce them.
