Sound journalism for a Finite Planet.

Steve Curwood hosts this award-winning program that delves into the leading issues affecting the world we inhabit. As the population continues to rise, the management of resources becomes even more critical. Living on Earth examines the issues of an increasingly interdependent world by presenting multifaceted features and commentary on culture, economics, fashion, health, law, medicine, environment, politics, society, technology, transportation, recreation and food. This dynamic program covers topics from the small challenges of everyday life to the future state of our environment, our health and our well-being.

Living on Earth examines how the human species may evolve; how our relationships with the natural world, other species and other members of our own species may change; and how trends in science, technology and medicine will change how we live, how we think and even our sense of who we are.

Living on Earth draws from an impressive array of experts, commentators, and journalists — including Mark Hertsgaard, author of Earth Odyssey; Janet Raloff of Science News; author Sy Montgomery; and award-winning producer Terry Fitzpatrick — to produce a compelling hour of radio journalism.

Living on Earth has won numerous awards including the Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio and Television News Directors Association, two Gracie Allen Awards, several New York Festivals Awards, the National Federation of Community Broadcasters Community Program Awards, and an award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
