- More Sean and Short Varied Segments Needed
I love Sean Bean’s simple, down-to-earth approach to appreciating birds, but the guest in Ep.7 droned on in a way that made it more about himself than the topic at hand. Ep. 1 was fantastic, and I hope Sean makes more like that. Unpretentious, not precious.

This is a smashing podcast. I stumbled across it, having, earlier that day mentioned to husband that I’d like to go birding. I’m glad it’s growing again in popularity. The podcast itself is gentle, informative and educational. Very good!
