Earth Eclectic Radio Hour is a weekly, one-hour music show that celebrates ecological awareness through sound. Each episode curates new releases and timeless tracks that explore the connection between people, planet, and spirit — weaving together diverse genres with one unifying theme: ecospirituality.

Our home base is WHIV 102.3 FM in New Orleans, where we hold down the 5:00 AM Sunday time slot. Stations can access our show through the Public Radio Exchange (PRX).

We love hearing from:

  • Listeners: Tell us how the music moves you or share your ideas for future themes.
  • Artists: If you create music with an ecological AND spiritual heartbeat, we’d love to hear it — especially new releases from the past five years, though extraordinary older works are always welcome.
  • Stations, Sponsors & Advertisers: If you’d like to syndicate the show or support our mission, reach out to explore partnership opportunities.

The show is produced by The Eclectic Collective, a project of The Gaian Way, and proudly featured by Harvard Divinity School’s Program for the Evolution of Spirituality.
