I photograph, record, and write about the natural world. I see, I listen, I write. I fundamentally believe that curiosity can save the world—so I publish stories to make people curious. Ultimately, curiosity leads to discovery, discovery leads to knowledge, knowledge leads to insight, and insight leads to understanding. Please enjoy!

Sometimes there are no words. In this case, I editorialize about theme I believe deserves attention: the corrosive power of disinformation and lies, and those who wield them.

Episode 241 - Seeing Sounds
As you know, the tag line of this program is that this is the place for stories that matter. Well, this story matters more than most. Not only is it about experiencing the wonders of the African bush, it's about a young woman, sightless from birth, who taught others how to see.

Episode 240 - Battle For The Biggest
What's the largest thing on earth--the blue whale? Nope, not even close. Here's a hint: it weights 233 times what a blue whale weighs.

Episode 239 - Antlions
A message from an 8th grader asked me to look into antlions. So, I did, and with lots of memories of these little critters from my own childhood, here you go!

The Best Storyteller I’ve Ever Been Around
I had the pleasure of hearing Dr Shepard speak twice, and both times I was left in awe. I wondered how one person could seemingly live so many lives & know so much about a wide variety of topics.
He said it was his curiosity, he asked questions and was sincere.
When I saw this podcast on LinkedIn I went to iTunes and am hooked.
Thank you Dr Shepard for sharing your curiosity with all of us!
Growing my curiosity
Curiosity is one of those funny things that can sometimes get hungrier after it is fed, and the Natural Curiosity Project has a way of simultaneously satisfying my curiosity and driving my desire to keep learning. What a delightful paradox!
I love the varied topics and formats of each episode, always with Steve’s unique blend of playful insight and adventure at the helm. The radio-ready production quality and voice talent don’t hurt, either!
This podcast is an absolute gem, with something here for everyone. Thanks for making such a compulsively listenable and informative show, Steve!
