  • Disappointed about the cat episode

    I was very excited to check out this podcast, as I’m a wildlife lover and have volunteered as a rehabber over the years. However, I was deeply disappointed and offended by the episode regarding feral cats. I am a feral cat colony caretaker. I have had a stable, fixed, colony of 8 cats living in my backyard for nearly 4 years. So I did my best to keep an open mind, despite the podcast title. I recognize that my cats do have an impact on birds from time to time, so I wanted to hear potential s... more

  • Learn about Your Animal Neighbors

    I love this podcast as I'm a city dweller and am always trying to learn more about the animals, birds, and other creatures that make cities their homes.I find the well educated enthusiam of the creators and their guests so contagious that I'm often looking up species I'm not familialr with online during the show. I also really enjoy the heavy metal intro music just because I'm a metalhead/nature nerd too.

  • Great podcast but audio quality needs work

    I’ve loved this podcast for several months now as an ecology student and nature nerd living in a large city. Informative with good interviews on a large variety of interesting topics. The audio quality, however, makes it difficult to listen to at times! Soft voices are washed out by echoey, loud laughs, and normal speaking voices sound fuzzy and distant. I’d love to see an upgrade in audio and recording equipment to give this podcast a more professional sound. I’m also not a huge fan of the meta... more

  • Good Listening

    I have the luxury of living in the mountains with wildlife, but really value more discussions of wildlife, especially how it lives & thrives in the cities.

  • Audio?

    I've listened to a few and I really enjoy it, however the audio quality needs a lot of work. I find there is a lot of this fuzzy echo-y sound.

  • refreshing way to learn about our urban wildlife

    Really enjoying these podcasts, I would really love to see them cut down to half length--possibly 1 to 2 segments per episode so that the gist of each segment isnt lost in the title of the podcast. As urban and avian ecologist and researcher I am listening to new information on insects and "weeds"!

  • Such delights in the urban wilds

    Fascinating topics, interviews with researchers, musings and laughter with urban biologists and amateurs alike. Perhaps what makes this podcast great is what's unintentional - the folks running the show delight in discovery, from flipping an old board in an abandonned lot to simply verifying a fact on the internet, the curiosity and joy is contagious. I am super excited to keep going - across the globe and into the urban wilds - with these fine folks!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Urban Coyotes with Stan Gehrt
Q: How do you relate to the coyotes in terms of their mating system?
Coyotes exhibit a unique lifetime monogamy; they do not experience divorce and remain with their mates for life unless one dies.
Urban Coyotes with Stan Gehrt
Q: So does it seem like coyotes are a source or sink in an urban setting?
They are definitely a source population, with a positive growth rate and high reproductive success, often spreading into surrounding areas.
Urban Coyotes with Stan Gehrt
Q: How did you get into the urban coyote business?
I was fresh off of my PhD at the University of Missouri and got a job as a research biologist at the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation, leading to urban wildlife studies focusing on coyotes.
