- A little more ambivalent lately
I love the show, I enjoy the banter and silliness paired with the animal stories. On the other hand, I find it a little insulting that they recently decided to give only their paying subscribers the last episode of a three part series. Also, I get a little sick of hearing about these amazing international trips for their wealthy listeners. Who can afford these trips???

United States12 days ago - Subscriber only
Love this show, im a field restoration ecologist and enjoy all the banter and work y’all do! I am here to issue my one critique: subscriber only episodes. I subscribed via Patreon for over a year and recently, I couldn’t justify the content for the price. This is fine, it happens. But to openly say on main feeds that you’ll post 2/3 parts of a story and the other is subscriber only? You’re giving your audience incomplete work in favor of those who pay and your work is becoming less inclusive. Ju... more
Apple Podcasts3P0ssumprincessUnited States14 days ago - Wes despises non-paid listeners :(
Loyal listener who proudly wears T&C merch and tells EVERYONE to listen… but I can’t do monthly subscriptions. I feel like Wes hates listeners like me! He has outright said he loves his subscribers more (thanks, Jeff, for loving us all equally). But making Part 3 of the Essex series for subscribers only- and outright stating the rest of us wouldn’t have a satisfying conclusion- hits like a slap in the face.
It’s like watching the Super Bowl— with CANNIBALS—and then discovering in the fourth q... more
Apple Podcasts5stereoseven7United States18 days ago - NPAD got me hooked!
I listen to NPAD non stop since 2022, I love their episodes, and when they had a collaboration with y’all, I had to check you guys out! I got hooked because I am such an animal geek and lover. This podcast actually helped a lot in my presentation about wildlife safety! Keep doing what you’re doing!
