Customer Reviews
Incredibly entertaining and Educational
A library full of captivating episodes that give us all a glimpse of the nature and culture of wildlife destinations around the world.
Superb
This is hands down my favorite podcast. If you are interested in birding, nature, travel, or even just hearing two terrific storytellers recount their adventures and misadventures around the world, you’ll look forward to each new episode as much as I do.
Favorite Nature/Travel Podcast
As a birder and traveller this podcast is tailor-made for my personal passions, but Ken and Charley's stories would certainly be fun and engaging to anyone with an interest in nature. There is sometimes a loose and impromptu feel to the episodes, but I think that just makes it feel more genuine and relatable. I wait for new episodes with anticipation and always come away in a good mood, motivated to keep exploring and go birding more. Love the new theme music too!
