0:00.0	Hey, it's Janice from Warner Brothers Discovery. I've had a hard time listening to the news for a while now, especially stories about climate. It feels like we could all approach the topic, not with doom and gloom, but with ideas and potential solutions. And that's why I was excited when I found out about planet visionaries. It's a podcast hosted by Alex Honnold, who you might know
0:22.4	from the documentary Free Solo. That's the one where he climbs Al Capitan and Yosemite without ropes,
0:28.3	which is wild stuff. In Planet Visionaries, Alex turns his focus to the biggest challenge of all.
0:35.0	Protecting the planet, we all call home. Planet Visionaries is the antidote to my
0:39.8	climate anxiety. Every episode is filled with real examples of real people doing real things to
0:45.8	reshape the future of our planet. This isn't a blah, boring show about data or policy.
0:51.5	It's about fellow human beings making bold moves, from Arctic scientists and
0:56.6	Amazon Forest Guardians to entrepreneurs reimagining fashion and food systems.
1:01.8	A personal favorite is the interview with Felicity Aston. She's an astrophysicist turned
1:06.9	polar explorer and the first woman to solo ski across Antarctica. One episode in season
1:12.8	five that you especially need to look out for is Alex Honnold's conversation with Mark
1:17.0	Ruffalo. I'm a big fan of his acting work and it is exciting to learn more about how he uses
1:22.6	storytelling in his conservation work. Here's Alex with a little more. Take a listen. I'm Alex Honble, professional rock climber and founder of the Honol Foundation. I wanted to let you know about a brand new season of the Planet Visionaries podcast in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative. This is the podcast exploring bold ideas and big solutions from the people leading the way in conservation.
1:47.3	Join me in conversation with the likes of climate champion Mark Ruffalo,
1:49.7	biologists and photographer Christina Mitremyer,
1:53.2	and one of the most successful conservations of our time, Chris Tompkins.
1:56.6	Join us on Planet Visionaries wherever you get your podcasts.
1:58.5	So go check it out.
2:01.4	In partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative,
2:03.4	this is Planet Visionaries.
2:06.3	Listen or watch on Apple, Spotify, YouTube,
2:08.4	or wherever you're listening to this podcast.
