Earthed is an independent, weekly podcast, supported by a website that provides bonus content.

 We provide quick updates for people who care about climate, nature, and sustainability in Australia – updates to help you stay across what's happening.

How you can support what we do

One of the best ways to support us is to follow the podcast on your favourite listening platform - and we'd also appreciate it if you gave us some stars (on either Spotify or Apple) or a thumbs-up on YouTube.

Plus, you can also help us by signing up here to receive a regular heads-up about upcoming coming episodes, and to receive occasional bonus content.

One option is to sign up as a free supporter. And for those who are able to help us cover production costs and grow, we also offer two paying supporter options, starting at $9 per month.

All our supporters - free or paying - receive our weekly updates and occasional bonus content.

What's the Earthed story, and who are the people of Earthed?

Our goal is to make it easy for you to keep up with what's going on - and to help with your own efforts to create a better future. 

Sustainability communications advisor Murray Griffin and digital and design director Chris Dansie developed the concept of Earthed.

We chose the name Earthed because it suggests groundedness, and connectedness to our fragile planet.

And we had a very clear goal - to develop a podcast that is interesting for anyone who is curious about climate, nature, and sustainability. We also wanted Earthed to have an eye-catching, unique look!

There are other key people who make Earthed possible.

Dr Franziska Curran is a sustainability consultant and is the co-host of the Earthed and Track Changes podcasts.

Sophie Sideris is a digital and brand specialist who has advised a range of environmental and social justice organisations.

And a big shout-out to Geoff Scott, who assists with research.

Who funds Earthed?

We developed and launched the Earthed podcast and website in our spare time and using our own resources.

What's not part of the Earthed story?

Earthed isn't trying to be all things to all people.

We aren't pretending to do investigative or in-depth journalism (we admire and have deep respect for journalists who specialise in investigative and in-depth news).

And we aren't trying to sway people who don't accept that we face a climate crisis, a nature crisis, and a pollution crisis (again, kudos to those who do try reach out to everybody).

Instead, we want to encourage and inform the many people who are already concerned about climate change, nature destruction, pollution and waste, and who want to know what's being done in Australia to tackle these huge challenges.

Also, Earthed isn't interested in presenting AI slop.

We use some AI tools under the hood. But we don't use generative AI to curate, write, script, or present our content.

The physical world is increasingly becoming a tough place for humans. And so is the digital world.

That's not a good thing. We think humans should prepare newsletter and podcast content that is intended for humans. So that's how we work.
