Customer Reviews
Anna Bateman
LOVED listening to this series. It’s uplifting, smart and laugh out loud funny. Please make more as soon as possible! :)
Beautiful series
In a world of chaos it’s nice to find a corner of the internet reminding us to look at micro- both within our surrounding flora and fauna from a cellular level up, and at ourselves as a minuscule moment in time of a much grander agenda. Both humbling and fascinating this pod reminds me to get outside and wonder at tiny miracles.
Who doesn’t love David Attenborough!!
Lovely series, Ben’s humour is a great partner for some truely interesting and engaging guests.
