“I approached ecology as an academic from a geography background which encourages large-scale thinking so I adore this podcast- by combining detailed and insightful social context through both space and time, and linking these complicated pictures to economics, and of course, ecology, allows listeners to conceptualise key ecological principles in interdisciplinary and novel ways, I would highly recommend!”

“If this podcast were a book, it'd be a pageturner. And that's not because Adam and Mendel simplify things. Instead, they take the obstacles in their protagonists' way plus whatever complicates their topic, and then they turn that into fascinating twists. I originally just wanted to understand kelp better when I found this podcast. Thanks to Adam and Mendel, I found a whole world of fascinating ecology stories.”

“I love listening to this podcast as it helps me grapple with complex questions like how to love a place/ecology/land while also watching it be destroyed/changed and knowing I am part of the forces of change... thanks for the beautiful sound design and frank conversations”

“I love this podcast so much, it’s hard to put it into words! This show is just so inspiring, thought-provoking, uplifting and soothing to the mind and soul. Adam and Mendel wrap you into an immersive soundscape and a deep, engaging, often funny conversation with each other and great guests. This show is true audio art, providing ecological insights and tackling even the most profound questions with passion, creativity, and wit. Highly recommended!”

“Biology, psychology and philosophy are interwoven to really get to the heart of things. In Future Ecologies the story unfolds in such a way that a sense of discovery is felt throughout each episode. The sound design is creative, immersive and seamless.”
Carlin McLellan via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/07/21
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“This podcast is literally addictive, but I don’t even have to feel guilty about binging it because every episode is so educational and perspective altering. I’ve actually listened to almost every episode more than once because there’s so much material that I want to retain and understand better. Future Ecologies altered my career path, as I am now looking to go into a field of law that merges environmental science with indigenous property law. This is a niche I didn’t even know existed until this podcast!”

“The perfect balance between educating listeners about ecology, indigenous struggles and the need for global system change while also being entertaining. Also some of the best production value, attention to detail and audio design you can find when it comes to independently produced podcasts. Keep it up! Best regards from Sweden.”
