For almost 18 years, Pulse of the Planet has offered a FREE two-minute sound portrait of planet Earth daily to listeners of more than 300 stations in twenty countries.

Now Pulse has added a new component to its classic series: Science Diaries.

Over the course of three years, Pulse’s producers are training scientists in many fields to record their own audio diaries. As a result, your listeners can experience the frontiers of discovery firsthand -- and converse with the scientists at the forefront: from the inner workings of outer space to the mysteries of the human brain, from lightning strikes to earthquakes, from backyard bird feeders to deep ocean probes -- Pulse of the Planet’s Science Diaries take us deeper inside the world of science.

Even for a city kid like me, Jim Metzner makes the natural world an interesting place. It becomes a neighborhood that teems with interesting sounds and fascinating characters. I'm glad we have him on our show.
- Scott Simon, NPR’s Weekend Edition/Saturday
