Favourite podcast, full stop

I adore this podcast! It’s hard to describe how well The Wild connects to the deep appreciation for nature, wild spaces and all the people who care about being able to spend time breathing in that special air that you can smell when walking through a forest. 5 yr old me who loved National Geographic and Nature on PBS would be thrilled that each story transports others to lose themselves in nature too.

Nice

It’s a good podcast, it could be updated more frequently though, but pretty nice for the effort, 4 stars well deserved.
