<description>Kelsey Timmerman is a journalist, speaker, and the New York Times bestselling author of Regenerating Earth, Where Am I Wearing?, Where Am I Eating?, and Where Am I Giving?. His immersive storytelling takes readers, audiences, and listeners to the people and places behind the products they consume, exploring global issues through deeply human experiences.

On this episode of Nature Revisited, Timmerman invites us to rethink the status quo of industrialized agriculture, recalling his global explorations of alternative farming methods. From the Amazon to Hawaii, Kenya to George, he describes farmers, activists and indigenous leaders who work with nature rather than against it. Their regenerative practices build soil, strengthen communities, and even help fight climate change. Timmerman reveals how the choices we make about how we grow our food can reconnect us to land, life, and one another —and offer purpose in a time of ecological crisis.

Episode 162: Kelsey Timmerman - Regenerating Earth

<description>Boyce Upholt is a “nature critic” and author whose writing explores the relationship between humans and the natural world, especially in the U.S. South. Originally from Connecticut, Upholt moved to the Mississippi Delta in 2009, where he discovered an unexpected wilderness amid an agricultural empire: the Mississippi River.

On this episode of Nature Revisited, Boyce describes the natural and human histories of the wild and unruly Mississippi River and the centuries of human efforts to control it. Ambitious and sometimes contentious programs of engineering -- government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams -- has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems but may not work much longer. [Originally published July 8th 2024, Ep 125]

<description>Elspeth Hay is a writer, public radio host and a proponent of place-based living. Her recent book Feed Us With Trees reveals how nut trees can transform our diets, landscapes, and future.

On this episode of Nature Revisited, Hay explains why we don't need to choose between feeding ourselves and sustaining the planet. With agriculture being a significant driver of climate change and biodiversity loss, restoring perennial food systems centered on nut trees can help build a future that is abundant, equitable, and resilient.

<description>Lance Richardson is an award-winning journalist, essayist, educator, and the author of House of Nutter (2018) and recently, True Nature: the Pilgrimage of Peter Matthiessen (2025).

On this episode of Nature Revisited, contributing interviewer Scott Chaskey sits down with Lance to discuss his 8-year process and deep research involved in writing the first biography of Peter Matthiessen, the novelist, naturalist, and Zen roshi, whose trailblazing work championed Native American rights and helped usher in the modern environmental movement. Drawing upon a multitude of sources, interviews, and even re-enacting Matthiessen's 250-mile trek across the Himalayas, Richardson describes the multi-faceted writer's uncanny ability to sense connections between ecological decline, racism, and labor exploitation—to express, eloquently and presciently, that “in a damaged human habitat, all problems merge.”​
