you crossed the lineFascinating podcastThis is such an interesting podcast. I love animals & oddly enough, having had several encounters with wild animals in my life, all have been peaceful and respectful on both parts. Most often I was young and too ignorant to know to be afraid and I personally believe the lack of fear and God’s grace saved my life. I even had an owl fly right beside me in a tight spot where his wings clipped my neck and we both kept going without aggression or defensive behavior. On another outing, it was pitch dark and I did not see the Black Bear. I can only assume it didn’t see me either, as we physically brushed right by each other and we each just kept walking. An elk stood five feet behind me without me knowing it was there until I turned around and I found myself once surrounded by about 40 Big Horned Sheep. It was as if they escorted me across the meadow. I just talked to them as we walked. Buffalo, wolf, mountain lions, bobcats. God looked out for me. Each encounter was unexpected and I was so grateful to have experienced them but never would I have pursued them. God was merciful to me. This podcast would have told me what to do but most were long before anyone had heard of a podcast or even had home computers. Just a blessing in nature. I love the respect yet common sense taught about close encounters with wild animals in this podcast. I give it five stars and hope many will listen and learn from this intuitive and wise man.

PaulFehringerMy Favorite Nature Podcast!As a Naturalist/Educator for 30 years, I always enjoy listening to other naturalists express their views on the natural world. This is my absolute favorite nature podcast to listen to. I love how it encourages others to explore nature and how it takes me to new and familiar places and gives me another view of these places. I also enjoy the conservation side of many of the episodes. Thank you so much for producing The Wild!

I dream JSea LionsThe encouragement to stop and listen to the story about sea lions, putting yourself in a place of a sea lion. It’s a stroke of genius. It really helped to engage my thinking ability about the passage through the sea and rivers. Also the plight of the chinook and the Native Indians with the dam. Looking forward to more stories in this genre!

Dodgergrl1So informative!This is, by far, the best podcast on wild animals I have ever come across. It is so good, it is the only podcast of the dozens I listen to where I have been inspired to become a patreon member. It always leaves me me thirsting for more. Chris delivers everything. Not just the sight but the sounds of the animals and their surroundings. You can feel his love for the subject manner and it is inspiring. Highly recommend, you will not be sorry!

grievedghostBest in its CategoryThis podcast is in my top 2 and definitely the best nature podcast I’ve listened to. Chris is a fantastic hosts, the stories are amazing and inspiring, and production is top notch (writing, recording, natural and musical soundtrack). I found it late in the most recent season but have been thoroughly enjoying binging all of the older episodes. Please keep going!

prinetuceyI’m an artist who observes and paints wildlifeIt was an older podcast but after listening to Dr Rae Wynn I had an epiphany about my art. I’m so passionate about our world of wildlife and the peril they are in if I can make a difference with my art I would be all in for that! Can I send her some samples and maybe she could tell me where to start showing it where it would make a difference!!

OceanwallVery inspiring podcastI love this podcast. Would love to hear an episode on the conservation work being done for American Red Wolves or Mexican Wolves! Check out the Endangered Wolf Center, would be a great place to help with an episode!

Katsumi_OcelotA treat for the ears with every episode!Chris and the whole production crew do such an amazing job with every episode! You’ll be taken on a captivating journey around the world to discover about the natural beauty of the earth and all the wonderful creatures that live in it! Chris is a bear guy at heart and hearing his passion for wildlife is such a serotonin boost! Every episode brings a new expert on everything from adorable foxes and lynxes to rattlesnakes or orangutans to Native Americans restoring rivers to their natural state. It’s an amazing journey and I’m here for every episode of it! Living vicariously through this podcast while I’m out in the desert, pining for my home in the Pacific Northwest!

KlingridPart 1 of the Burmese Python SagaThis is absolutely riveting! I live in Southern California and of course have encountered rattlesnakes on the trail, but being in the neighborhood of these pythons and actively engaging with them is bravery beyond measure! The closet experience to your adventure, Chris, is being present while th problem alligator control came to capture and haul in a live gator on my friend’s dock on Laje Minnehaha outside Orlando. He had flip flops on his feet, which I couldn’t believe when I saw him stroll over to the edge of the lake. We’ll, i he was a second-generation problem alligator collector. I appreciate your shows immensely! Thank you so much!

Knowing More in NYCFresh Air for the EarsChris Morgan brings us palpable enthusiasm, engagement and love for the amazing non-human BEINGS and THEIR environment in a way we can all share! And as a Pacific Northwesterner ensconced in an eastern city, and as a human being who’s feet are most often on pavement, a breath of all that is home. I listen to too many podcasts, this is my absolute favorite. Can I also say, I Love the theme music! Thank you Chris -et al!! Check out this wonderful(as in full of wonder) podcast and send support to Chris for his projects and this GREAT podcast!

over-it_123Man I love this podcastSeriously. It’s my favorite podcast on the internet. I’m so glad you are back with a new season.

ThisOneSillyManPine martens, who knew?Chris! Possibly your best episode yet?!?! Hard to say because they’re all good and I also really loved the recent one on Orcas. I was surprised towards the end of the episode to find out that they are only 3 pounds. Pretty fantastic that such a small creature can have such a big impact on their environment. Pretty fascinating connection between the two creatures; interesting and amazing how the predators success supports the success of its prey!

Radha bayTwo eyed seeingI subscribed to this podcast a year ago, but didn’t listen much, until I realized that so many episodes are about my region of the world—the Pacific Northwest. And the episode on two eyed seeing has cemented my appreciation of how Chris Morgan hopes to move through the natural world, as a scientist and as someone who is in love with all things wild.

wheelierogueThis makes me cry in a good wayI’m currently sitting at home at 2am crying about owls. This podcast shines a well-needed spotlight on scientists and conservationists that are doing the real work, trying to save the species and ecosystems that they love. And most importantly, it shows how emotional, passionate, and real these people are, which you don’t get to see in research papers and scientific articles that are “objective” and removed from emotion. I also always appreciate podcasts that center Indigenous people and communities.
-
NorthPawsMNWow and thank youI love this podcast. I’ve never binged through a podcast at such a rate. I can’t wait for more episodes. I’m very thankful for the teams work on educating all of us and trying to Improve our world. Thank you

SaltySuMarieNeeds more information about the animals in the titlesI enjoy this podcast but some episodes are frustrating because they don't contain enough information about the animal and TONS of information about the person being interviewed. Kind of a bummer to download and anticipate a podcast that I think will teach me about an animal but I learn about a person instead, more animal facts please! I don’t particularly care how someone found themselves in the field, I just want to know about the creatures they study.

ncjsmkWhat the Wild can teach physical therapySame Jennifer D! I’ve now listened to the woodpecker one, bringing the info to my professor who teaches Neuroanatomy (I’m in school for physical therapy) to hear her thoughts on the morphology being the protection for woodpeckers against concussions. I was intrigued by the hyoid apparatus; how the jugular vein is gently pressed to increase blood flow, providing a cushion to soften the blow. I’ve listened to the cougar one and went to buy it but it’s 30$ and that’s a lot for me atm! So maybe later. The plant one I listened to and found they were talking about common facts amongst each other, however I’ve never heard of some of these concepts being on the east coast. I like the questions Chris asks because they’re the same ones I have, very basic and to the point. I’ve visited out west and and familiar with mt rainier, Olympia, and places in Oregon but it helps to hear the backstory.

jennymac79Jennifer DJust discovered this podcast In a random search. I only listened to one- the woodpecker episode- and I found it to be very interesting and the sound quality is very good. Can’t wait to listen to more episodes
