    Informative and relaxing.
    This podcast offers the listener unique nature related topics. It’s interesting and soothing. I hope they’ll resume releasing new episodes.

    Sad to see this one go…
    Am really disappointed they stopped making this, but glad to have the catalog accessible. Some of these are real gems:)

    Please Fix It, Please.
    I’m not normally a complainer, especially when it comes to BBC programming, but I’m almost certain I’m amoung the few who have called attention to this issue.

    Great podcast doesn’t work any more
    This is the greatest podcast for nature appreciation. Unfortunately it stopped working months ago on IPhones. I miss it. Nature needs all the appreciation she can get. Please fix!

    Same Issue as Prairie_Dog
    I would so love to be able to listen to the new episodes, but unfortunately everything after the Planet Puffin series (which was fantastic) will not play on Apple Podcast. Please remedy, for the sake of the iPhone owners across the pond who need us some BBC nature!

    Often Will Not Download or Stream - BBC Support Does Not Care
    I am finally unsubscribing to this otherwise excellent podcast because the BBC can’t seem to make it work on iTunes/Apple Podcasts. About half the time, a new episode will appear, and I’ll get excited. However, when I try to download or stream it, it gives a “unable to download” and “temporarily unavailable” error message. For a while, I faithfully reported this to the BBC via their website, with screenshots, and tried all the troubleshooting methods possible. Each time they said I could listen to it in the web or via iPlayer so it wasn’t a problem. If listeners cannot listen to your podcast via the most popular pod-catcher in the world, it would appear you have a problem you should fix. This does not concern the BBC however, so I’m unfortunately giving up on this podcast. I advise you to save yourself the frustration and find another program you can actually access via your iDevice.

    Top drawer!
    This series is superb on all fronts. Great stories, excellent production. Radio at it's finest. If you are a fan of natural history, this series of ~200 podcast is a real treat. Reminds one of how good radio can be, and how bad most TV has become...

    Spectacular
    Wonderful podcast,. Only wish they were longer.

    The podcast that dares to record inside a yew tree. . .
    This is a brilliant podcast that addresses significant issues in ecology, natural history, evolutionary biology, and nature preservation. It is also just the slightest bit dotty. It did really once broadcast from inside a yew tree. The show was about commensual living and the fungi that helped the yew tree exploit the trapped carbon resources in its own trunk!! And that's not even the strangest one. Great science. Vividly explained. It's remotely possible that television could ruin the whole thing. Subscribe now before some cable channel remakes the series. You won't be sorry.

    Saving species
    I just love to listen and share their delight and obvious love for the natural world In a class all by itself

    Science in the Wild
    I love hearing scientists in the field exploring nature. Not being there myself just makes me angry. At least I have this podcast for now.

    Great Podcast
    One of my favorte podcasts!
  • Phoebe Figalilly
    Wonderful stuff
    I also loved this podcast. It was good at sharing information about the natural world and the enthusiasm of the presenters and experts was palpable. It also had a bit of a 'soap opera' quality in terms of the regular updates of the adventures of our migrating friends, but that's what made it fun to tune in every week. I hope this podcast is renewed. I want to find out more about our flying and furry friends!

    This was fantastic. I can't believe you don't have a million reviews. I now have milk weed growing in my back yard and you know why. Thanks from an avid listener to all your casts. Chuck from New England (USA)
