Episode 121: Zoë Schlanger - The Light Eaters
Zoë Schlanger is a staff writer at the Atlantic and an award-winning journalist covering science, health and the environment. Her recent book The Light Eaters is a narrative investigation into the new science of plant intelligence and sentience. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Zoë discusses eye-opening facts about the life of plants and their ingenious biological methods of adaptation and survival. From their ability to communicate, recognize their kin and behave socially, react to sounds, and morph their bodies to blend into their surroundings, plants display an extraordinary system of intelligence that challenges us to rethink the role of plants—and our own place—in the natural world.

Customer Reviews
Inspiring
I have learned so much from this podcast! Such a variety of topics and guests. I always feel inspired after listening to an episode to reconnect with nature and incorporate more nature into my own life.
Inspiring Podcast
Stefan is a fantastic host who asks inspired questions. The guests themselves are dynamic, and wide ranging. One of my favorites.
Great Find
I was personally recommended this podcast and I highly recommend it for others interested in a show with an eclectic range of guests, speaking on nature, art, and philosophy. As a documentary filmmaker myself, I relate to Stefan’s decision to use a podcast to reach his audience and spread his message. It’s often hard to reach people when everyone’s on the go. His podcast delivers! That being said, I’m looking forward to checking out Stefan’s films!
P.S. I will also check out the Lurie Gardens when I’m back in Chicago
