Earth Beat - The End
We say goodbye by all piling into the studio and letting everyone do a story they've always wanted to. There will be mosquitos, underground Paris, demilitarized zone Cyprus, a quiz, and some lies about lizard people. Enjoy. Love yawl. Byee x
-
Earth Beat - Goodbye
Well, the proper finale is next week so in this penultimate show we thought we'd repeat the Goodbye show. Although it's very late and I am still in the office making this so part of me wishes we'd just made a new show. Still, this features a disappearing dolphin, house and town. What is not to like? Marnie x
-
Earth Beat - The Whole Hog
A gluttons delight! Weve got manna from heaven, or at least, food from rooftops. We have a composer whos made music from a pig and a nose-to-tail chef who will make something delicious from the rest of it. Moving to undelicious, how does raw pickled songbird grab you? We unwrap a Cypriot delicacy that is threatening a species.
-

-
Earth Beat - Left Behind
Abandoned buildings, explosive underwater wrecks, and what to do about the small problem of nuclear waste. What we leave behind, why, and what to do about it.

Things that come full circle. How an international explorer found the glamour of travelling in his own backyard, and a man's Harley-Davidson, lost in the Japanese tsunami of 2011, is found - on the other side of the Pacific.
-
Earth Beat - Comeback
The big comeback. In Europe that means the return of the sturgeon to their natural habitat, and in Siberia one man battles to return the wilderness back 15,000 years, minus the wooly mammoths, sadly.
-
Earth Beat - Out of Nowhere
We uncover the unexpected. From the man who discovered an island that appeared in the middle of nowhere, to bike lanes that sprung up out of the blue. Stories about some delightful surprises.
-
Earth Beat - Ice
Ice, ice baby and bucketloads of the stuff. We meet the ice obsessives, people for whom ice is their job, their way of life, their art. Making music with it, sculpting it or just immersing your body in it: ice is too cool for school.
-
Earth Beat - The Gift
Stories of sharing. We explain why not to look a gift horse in the mouth (especially when there's free energy at stake) and meet the people turning every bit of green space in their town - ditches, roundabouts, abandoned parking lots - into glorious edible gardens where the fruit and vegetables are for the taking.
-
Earth Beat - The Extra Mile

-
Earth Beat - Artificial
Everything is not as it seems, as we explore the artificial world. From robots that plough the fields then scatter, to man-made coral reefs. Faking it for nature.
-
Earth Beat - Necessary Evils
Necessary evils, like the tar sands in Canada. The fact is, we could use the oil, but is it worth the obliteration of a once-pristine forest landscape? Hear from a woman who treats her painful arthritis with yet more pain, and the man who kills rabbits, to save an ecosystem.
-
Earth Beat - Cunning Plans

-
Earth Beat - War
Fighting talk from the front line - from rats trained to sniff out landmines, to why creating compost on an army base in Iraq can be a bit of a bummer. Plus, restoring the Iraqi marshlands after Saddam, and visiting the Western Front, nearly 100 years later.
-
Earth Beat - Foreign Bodies
Things that turn up in the unlikeliest of places. Like sea salt full of prescription drugs, or pesticides in the Arctic. And the man searching the Amazon for a tribe hes not allowed to contact. Foreign bodies, in all their forms.
-
Earth Beat - Feeding Ourselves
We examine the cost of a full belly. We look at clever new ways of putting stuff on our plate, protecting the traditional techniques for feeding ourselves, and why every third mouthful we eat is thanks to the humble bee. Food, glorious food, on Earth Beat.
-
Earth Beat - Natural Disasters
We brave tornadoes, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, cyclones, floods, fires, blizzards, just to get stories for you. Fire, brimstone, catastrophe! Natural disasters... and us.

-
Earth Beat - A Labour of Love
We go all gooey on the inside, for people with a passion for what they do. There was the man who panned for gold to make a very special ring, two young entrepreneurs who fell in love with the idea of growing gourmet funghi on recycled coffee grounds and a woman who's mapping where we make out. Pucker up, because this show's a labour of love.
-
Earth Beat - Out of Place
Things that, at first glance, seem a little out of place. Like turning water into fire, or a man who can make a gas-guzzling car drive like it's a green dream machine, or building a mountain in the Netherlands. Out of place but not out of mind.
-
Earth Beat - Play
A show full of fun and games. From forest kindergartens and forsaking a childhood in the woods for the concrete of the suburbs, to generating power on a merry-go-round. Oh, and how to play a pig? Fooling around for the sake of our planet, and why it's important to play.
-
Earth Beat - Privilege
We look at alternative ways of enjoying the high life. From sustainable foie gras to a state-of-the-art low-impact suburb. And things you wouldn't think of as a privilege, like clean air or the chance to cross your home city.
-
Earth Beat - Winter
It may be cold outside, but we're warming to winter, meeting people who like to feel the chill. From a husky dog breeder to a long-distance skater, to the man who helps improve the lives of people who live in winter cities.

-
Earth Beat - Off Limits
We reach places that other radio shows don't go, hopping fences and dodging the keep out signs to access the inaccessible. We explore the hardest-to-reach mine in Europe, and find out why taking what's not yours is for the greater good of the neighbourhood.
-
Earth Beat - 24 Hour Society
As the gap between night and day gets shorter we ask how the 24-hour society affects our environment. From taxi drivers doing the graveyard shift, to globetrotting executives working through three time zones, we meet the people working round the clock to keep things running.
-
Earth Beat - Living Longer
Due to assorted clevernesses, we're living longer. But before we pack ourselves on the collective back, bear in mind that this means a whole new set of issues to consider. What are the costs, both financial and environmental, of us not dying young? And how do we adapt our environment to suit an aging population?
-
Earth Beat - Back to the Land
We head back to the land, to the simple life. But is it really that simple? From killing your own deer for meat and clothing, to growing things in a cramped slum, or foraging in the forest, we examine how to get the most out of the land around us, and what it takes.
