WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS SAYING ABOUT PULSE OF THE PLANET

"Jim Metzner makes the natural world an interesting place, even for a city kid like me. Jim makes the natural world into a neighborhood‑‑a place that teams with interesting sounds and fascinating characters. I'm glad we have him on our show, and I know that are listeners consider his appearances as refreshing as a weekend in the country."
		Scott Simon
		Host, Weekend Edition/Saturday

"We know Jim Metzner must take better care of his radio show than his car... because we've SEEN his car...and he never could've gotten it to last ten years!"  
		Tom and Ray Magliozzi
		Car Talk, Jim Metzner's former Mechanics

"The hallmark of Jim's output is his knack for making every item he provides into a crisp and orderly journey of discovery for the listener ‑‑ years of experience with his work, in a day‑in, day‑out broadcast context, have convinced me that he is both a gifted communicator and an audio artist whom listeners appreciate as much for his provocative and stimulating content as for his easy presentational elegance.

"The programs are informative and the topics are interesting.  The sounds...  give the feeling you're actually there.

"Jim Metzner is one of the wonders of our public radio world. His story‑telling and amazing sound recordings tell a story with such richness that I KNOW  I have been there... Jim is an artiste in the finest sense, and listening to his work is an uncommon pleasure. I hope he has several more decades of productivity and artistry."
