“The topics, natural sound, and education are still top notch. But I miss the tone of the show previously. It might not be their fault (maybe the writing?) but the current hosts’ sound like they’re narrating a Disney channel show. It ends up feeling like a mismatch with the topics and BBC earth...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed the fist few series but the newest one is just a very different style. Nothing against the presenters just so different and not as relaxing and feels more for children.”

“Do listen to the first three series, which are excellent but skip the most recent one. The new presentation style is better suited to children than adults - I want to hear about nature, not the presenters’ childhood memories of cheesebread!”

“I used to love this podcast and have stopped listening because it is no longer interesting. I think the presenting style is not right for a nature podcast - Emily Knight, however, was spot on. Presenters are great but not a good fit for this at all.”

“I miss the old format which would bring stories from around the world from genuine people with real life stories. Now we have to listen to two young Americans talking about their own minimal life experiences. This used to be 5 stars, now only one star!”

It now has a very different feel that isn’t for me with American pop culture references and banter that seem...”Read full review »

“I don’t often write reviews but felt it was necessary given the change in format and presenters. I only recently started listening and the stark contrast in style when you’re listening back to back was jarring. Bring back Emily and Becky.”

“Emily knight and the previous format was beautiful, relaxing escapism.
Thank you Emily and everyone who made the earlier series for all your work - it was a real life raft during the pandemic for me!

“I’m having to change my review from 5 to 1 stars. I have nothing against the new presenters and think they are doing a good job objectively. However, this new format isn’t the show I originally subscribed to. This used to be a show of relaxing escape into a world of calming dialogue about nature...”Read full review »

“Just like the other event reviews I’m horrified with these new American presenters. Instead of a relaxing podcast you can tune into to, it’s an over exaggerated, obnoxiously loud podcast. The two new presenters sound like they’re on an American chat host show and this podcast has lost its essence...”Read full review »

“The previous series was interesting, informative and a wonderful way of submerging yourself in nature.
People interested in this topic don’t want to listen about computer games and Pokémon. It has become very American and the target audience seems to now be teenagers. Really disappointed.”
