About this Podcast:
Curious Planet explores how our experiences in nature connect us to our own stories, emotions, sense of place, and desire to belong—and how this captivating kinship might invigorate us to save the home we live and rely on. Cultural and spiritual traditions worldwide find their roots in reverence for the natural world. Moments of wonder in nature have inspired poets and writers, inventors and scientists, artists and adventurers throughout history. Curious Planet is hosted by anthropologist Jacqueline Comito, who has introduced many of these concepts in presentations to conservation professionals and environmentalists in Iowa and across the country. Each episode continues the conversation about engaging wonderment to heal and protect the environment.
