Threshold
5.0/5
Critic Rating
Threshold is a Peabody Award-winning documentary podcast about our place in the natural world. Each season, we take listeners on a journey into the heart of a complex environmental story, asking how we got here and where we might be headed. In our latest season, Hark, we hand the mic over to our planet-mates and investigate what it means to truly listen to nonhuman voices—and the cost if we don't. With mounting social and ecological crises, what happens when we tune into the life all around us? Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced.

"The host, Amy, is bright and lyrical. She looks at the world through the lens of a scientists and poet, a person who is focused on the big and small at the same time."

"(Season: Time To 1.5) Time to 1.5, the latest series from the American environmental show Threshold, succeeds in fixing the listener’s attention by making the climate crisis personal. “Think about something you love, a person, a place,” is how dulcet-toned Amy Martin introduces the first episode."

"...we often hear from individuals from indigenous communities whose voices have been systematically suppressed. If it’s all sounding a bit serious, be assured that it’s not all doom and gloom. As with any story that is told in-depth, it has light and shade. Threshold does a brilliant job of demonstrating how climate change is interconnected with many other elements, specifically colonization. "
