- Very crisp, cool and confident on the matter of the cat.
Wonderfully informed on the subject - Rick’s years in the field (and wood, and fen) create an air of trust where witnesses can step in and share their experiences without getting their toes stood on. Solid choices on subject and guest selection across the series make a persuasive case for the cat - may they be left undisturbed!

Apple Podcasts5Raven.PaganUnited Kingdom2 years ago - A gentle favourite
Big Cat Conversations has become my “go to” unwinder and often listen as if i am awake at night.
When i am tired or my mind is racing i find these episodes interesting, gentle, descriptive and relaxing because unlike many topics, imparting life tips, they don’t have robe remembered.
I have been through 105 episodes twice now and enjoyed them equally second time around.
well done thankyou..
