Earth Beat

Earth Beat is Radio Netherlands Worldwide’s weekly show about the planet and our impact on it.

Host Marnie Chesterton and the Earth Beat team get out and about, looking at what we create, develop, conserve and destroy; meeting and challenging the people who are making these changes. Earth Beat presents a straight-talking, intelligent and often funny look at a serious subject. While the show has a light touch it still manages to gets its teeth into some substantial issues.To find out how to broadcast Earth Beat on your station, please contact RNW at  MEDIA@RNW.NL.
