- So comforting and interesting
A prayer to nature. I listen to all podcasts at 1.5 speed except this one, even though the guests seem to speak at 0.5 speed, I just let it run :) thanks from an ecologist

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.
