  • Top shelf

    Really enjoy this show- I always learn something interesting. But the main draw for me is the host. In addition to being an engaging interviewer, Robin seems like someone you’d like to hang out with, someone who shows up to dinner with a bottle of top shelf tequila or gin and a pan of banoffee.

    Throughly enjoy listening to the podcast and hearing about nature as in so many different walks of life. Would highly recommend his moss skills if you’re ever in a pinch in the woods.

    This show is great. It’s as good as retrieving a lost arrow from a tree that you had long given up on with a rope and moose bone! Bonus points if you use an accent
