  • Not worth listening to anymore

    I’m a fairly recent subscriber; started listening in 2016 and looked forward to each week’s release. But since Steve Mirsky’s departure, it’s not worth the effort. Several weeks of nature sounds? Really? And now book musings? more

  • When you can’t get out, listen in!

    I really believe that anyone could stand to benefit from giving this podcast a listen. Beautiful recording quality lets you immerse yourself completely into the songs different birds and fauna with a full backdrop of the elements. If you have to be on your feet all day at work, may as well get a 30 minute hike in while you’re at it, right?
