  • Great for whole family

    If you are looking for your next family podcast obsession - look no further. Amazing stories of individual animals told by a different scientist each week. Perfect amount of science pitched at the right level for those of us who are interested but not experts ourselves. Lots of fun and inspiring tales. Totally awesome & worth the listen!

  • Addictive stories from the field

    This podcast is both fascinating and informative! Roland’s excitement is addictive, and his guests’ stories make you feel like you’re there with them on the frontlines of fieldwork. I appreciate the diversity of critters, both mega and microfauna, and researchers. Besides being a great podcast, Wild Animals is a chance for all of us - students, retired field biologists, wildlife enthusiasts - to mentally strap on our boots and binoculars and head into the field.

  • Great!

    This podcast has been great so far. Interesting topics, good interviews. Looking forward to more. Volume did seem to be an issue though, could barely hear in the car with my volume turned almost as high as it could go, and with my headphones as well. But otherwise love it!!
