Planet Visionaries spotlights climate innovators who are helping to solve some of the world’s most challenging environmental issues. In each episode, host Alex Honnold, an adventure rock climber and outdoor advocate, will talk to one of those leaders to learn about their work, background and what motivates them to preserve the earth. Listeners will hear from the world’s most renowned ocean explorer, a man who has dedicated his life to protecting penguins, a volcanologist who found a way to predict eruptions and a Peruvian biologist who is safeguarding sea life with the help of coastal communities. Taken together, the podcast will offer an intimate portrait of the diverse and dynamic people who are at the forefront of the quest to keep the planet perpetual.

    Really good news
    This podcast is so informative about the good things that are happening. With so much emphasis on the hopeless, I feel overwhelmed. So glad to turn attention to really wonderful activities people are doing to mitigate years of neglect and ignorance.

    Great Interviews
    I’m enjoying these episodes so much. It’s a neat opportunity to hear from people around the world working to save the ecosystems and the living world.
  • PaintedCliffs
    Great stuff!
    I recently discovered this podcast and am so glad I did. Fascinating conversations about our planet with people passionate about research, discovery and the wonder of it all. Thank you!
  • lemoneek
    Great!
    One of the most informative, educational podcasts I’ve listened to - and kudos to Rolex for recognizing and awarding these vital scientists. (Anyone who says there are too many ads must not listen to other podcasts, which can have 5 minutes of ads at a time. And, it’s a podcast about the environmental work of Rolex.) I’d love for these segments to continue, to put a spotlight on the thousands of scientists doing everyone’s part for a healthy world. Great job. Great beginning to a new season!! Thanks, Alex! And Rolex!

    The Rolex Stuff
    There are way too many Rolex ad reads
  • Mahalo Mom
    Fantastic
    We should all listen to this podcast 😍
  • Atlantya
    Hopefully?
    I really enjoy and greatly admire both Alex and Sylvia Earle. I did feel this was largely a big ad for Rolex though. I hope that won’t be the case in future episodes.
