LatinoWild ,

Great podcast, keep the magic!

Getting a lot of good information from this! Great interviews from all over the world, thought provoking. Wish there were more. I would maintain the sound effects and breaks-sometimes education has to be "edutainment to recall things. If you don't like the occasional sound effects, there are plenty of other podcasts that are more monotone. This one has spice, like another great podcast-EMRAP (the host is actually EMRAP faculty)! Plus, it's nice that the host is Latino-there aren't too many outdoors experts and educators that represent us. Hasta la proxima!

Stick to the facts and information!

Stop the silly antics, voices and music, and save some airtime and listeners time. There’s some really good information in this podcast, but there are a lot of competing podcast out there with just as good information and the silly stuff is distracting.

Fun and thought provoking

A great variety of topics. I enjoy the medicine and cultural interviews. The rescue stuff is also great. Too bad it doesn’t come more frequently. Maybe videos?
