Customer Reviews
Short but sweet
I love learning more about the natural world and this podcast packs a whole lot into such a short timeframe. It’s amazing how much Rudy can share in a minute, yet he doesn’t sound rushed. I love his personality scattered in through the the awesome facts. I’m not even in SC, I’m in Maryland, but I still listen daily. Would highly recommend!
Rudy is Carolina Gold
Though brief, this is always a must listen and an enjoyable part of my day. I was raised on NatureScene and always enjoy hearing Rudy talk about the flora & fauna of South Carolina.
The best
Both Rudy and nature notes are the absolute best. I’m a USC grad and Columbia resident, and have known of and listed to Mr Mancke since I was small. I tune in every single morning and is an excellent way to start my day with something positive. Thanks Rudy and thanks to SCETV for an excellent product.
