Planet Hope: Reconnecting to nature through sound with Michel André
This is Planet Hope, a podcast from The Times in partnership with Rolex and its Perpetual Planet Initiative, hosted by The Story as a bonus weekly series each Sunday.
Just as humans depend on sound for survival and expression, animals too rely on auditory cues to navigate their environments. However, nature is increasingly disrupted by human generated noise, from roaring engines to clanking machinery, disturbing the delicate balance of sound in the natural world. Environment Editor for The Times, Adam Vaughan is joined by bioacoustics scientist and Rolex Awards for Enterprise Laureate Michel André as he strives to restore the balance of human-generated noise and wildlife survival.

A clear landslide. But underneath, the tectonic plates of British politics are shifting; Labour was punished in a string of seats for its stance on Gaza, while Reform saw MPs elected for the first time, turning a Tory defeat into a catastrophe.

Customer Reviews
Great range of topics covered
Love this podcast - helps me keep up to date with current news and introduces me to subjects I don’t know much about.
North Country Woman
Low key, high quality journalism. The best kind.
Everyone should listen to Glancy on Starmer. About as much as we’re going find out about a very hardworking, very private man who seems to be under no illusions about the hard graft that lies ahead should his party win.
Why? William Hague
Why is William Hauge on the podcast image? He’s not contributed on any of the episodes. What a farce! It shows the right whinge farce media is dishonest as ever! Bring on a new Levison investigation on the corrupt Tory administration.
