At the age of 11 when I was first introduced to the podcast my first thought was that there were other people like me who can appreciate seeing a squirrel as much as a lion.

Australia2 years ago - Mammal watching - great inspiration
I thoroughly enjoy listening to these podcasts as I sit in traffic in Melbourne. It helps me plan future trips !
Apple Podcasts5craig9563Australia2 years ago - I’ve learned so much!
I first learned about this podcast through my boyfriend who is an avid mammal watcher, but I’ve continued listening because I genuinely find it interesting. Part travelogue, part science lesson, this podcast has become an enjoyable part of my weekly lineup. I’m a big fan of people who love to travel, see the world through a learner’s eyes, and raise awareness about underappreciated animals and their dwindling habitats. If you agree, or just have a touch of wanderlust, this pod is for you!
