    The Week On Earth

    Up to the minute environmental news and deep dives into some of the biggest – and weirdest – climate stories from across the globe. An irreverent and thought provoking podcast on the health of the planet, for anyone who happens to live on it (or just vacations here).

    Hosted by longtime brothers Chris and Donnie Stemp, The Week on Earth is like John Oliver’s TV show, only slightly less funny (the environment’s just not that funny). Produced by Peabody award winner Elease Lui with music by Grammy award winner Amy Aileen Wood.
