Good News from Planet Earth
A short podcast about real stories making a real difference.
We didn’t plan to make a podcast.
But the weight of the world felt like too much. The news, the noise, the endless scroll of everything broken. So we made a little pocket of light.
Good News from Planet Earth is a short environmental podcast sharing surprising, joyful, often-overlooked stories of what’s actually helping.
Solar-powered schools. Fire-preventing goat herds. Microplastic-busting inventions. Wombats that heal entire ecosystems—accidentally, but still.
Each episode is just five minutes.
Quick enough for a walk around the block, a school drop-off line, or that in-between moment when you need something good.
We’re voice actors, so we’re using our voices—literally—to amplify climate solutions, celebrate small wins, and remind ourselves (and you) that not everything is broken.
This is not about blind optimism.
It’s about keeping the pilot light on.

We Proudly Support 1% for the Planet
Every voice actor in our collective donates 1% of their revenue to environmental and social justice nonprofits.
That means every project we voice, every episode we release, and every story we tell helps support the work of conservationists, rewilders, seed savers, clean water protectors, pollinator champions, and so many more.
Because we believe in putting our money where our mic is.
