This show is quickly becoming my favorite podcast. The host is amazing, the episode topics are fascinating and important, and the sound work is very beautiful. I would describe this podcast as “riveting”!!!

As someone inspiring to be a wildlife ecologist, this podcast is opening my eyes to aspects I never thought of. I think of this podcast at lease once a week and reference stories she tells all the time. Can’t wait to hear more.

Dr. Wynn-Grant is not only an accomplished scientist, she is a superb story teller and teacher.

I loved this podcast so much!! I remember being so disappointed when I learned that there was only one season, then happy when another was produced! The first season, mwah, so awesome!

I have listened to all three seasons some episodes several times. Originally expected info regarding animal studies and world exploration. Got all that and soo much more. I am an old white guy who until the death of Mr. Floyd never paid attention to the REAL history of our country and just...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast. The stories never go as you expect and that is what makes the podcast so enjoyable. She has such a unique perspective. My favorite episode was the one about the hyenas

Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant is inspiring as a scientist and incredibly gifted as a communicator. She's frank but upbeat about her adventures in the field and about her personal life, including the challenges of being a single mother whose work takes her to Rwanda. Don't miss this one!Read full review »

What a joy to hear a woman scientist interviewing other woman scientists about such fascinating, adventurous and important work!

I am binge-listening to this podcast as I write this review. I love the science. I love the memoire. The descriptions are beautiful and evocative. The perspective rooted in personal identity can be simultaneously and alternately revelatory and deeply relatable. The intimate details are engaging...Read full review »

Hhpp234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/23
It started out with music playing with her voice, when listening to a podcast you don’t need music Should be titled— a woman starts a family has a child , then changes her mind to chase a career- try’s to justify it and breaking up her family- feels guilty and makes a podcast to justify her...Read full review »

Dr Wynn-Grant is so good at this. She gives me the vicarious joy of living my childhood dream of traveling for & doing science through her fascinating stories, while telling them through her unique & generously-personal perspective that refreshingly reminds me that Science (big S) is one...Read full review »

Appreciate the stories particularly from human side. However, the more I listen to it, the more I feel like it’s toting a political agenda which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe it’s because this show is sponsored by political funding?
Crystalofboston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/23
I have enjoyed listening to the podcast. Every episode offers a unique perspective about being the underdog in fields of science that don’t expect to see black and brown scientists there. Every episode captured my attention while learning about fields of study I was unaware of. I hope this show...Read full review »

As an old ol’ cultural anthropology major, highly independent woman and eco conscious mom of two- I LOVE THIS SHOW. It’s so fun to hear the human side of this work and all the things we can relate to: chasing dreams, time away from our kids and imposter syndrome… this show is so fun. It’s...Read full review »

::as the only Black student in my botany course with no solid science foundation—this podcast is a relief and a beacon to keep going in this really anti-Black field: :from the bottom of my heart i thank you Dr. Wynn-Grant::

This show is mind blowing! The topics are interesting. I listen with my two young daughters and they are riveted. My wife and I find the format, topics and issues of important too as we raise our kids.

Dr. Wynn-Grant is an excellent storyteller, and is super engaging while interpreting her experience in conservation. I so appreciate hearing her perspective on being a Black professional in wildlife science!

I was pleasantly surprised to find this podcast so interesting and relevant. I love the structure, the guests, and especially the host! Can’t wait for season 3!!

I found this podcast from Balanced Black Girl. I was so invested in every episode and I’m sad I made it to the end. As a kid, I dreamed of being a vet, then realized I didn’t have the capacity to handle that and I’ve always loved marine biology and watching nature documentaries. I still do, but...Read full review »

I’m the episode about poaching in Tanzania you talk about the meat being taken by the entire community. In the United States in most places I have heard about if fish and game catches poachers or people who hunted too much they take the meat and bring it to shelters, food banks, etc

I discovered this pod when Dr. Rae was interviewed on the National Park After Dark pod…and I am an awe! She speaks so eloquently and with such authenticity that I feel like I’m with her in every single adventure. Some of the stories bring me to tears, others are very funny. I’m learning so...Read full review »

Love this podcast…such a great intersection of animal, environmental issues, and personal and social reflections ❤️❤️
MDShepp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/22
I would love to hear more stories in season 3 about the supporting players in wildlife conservation. Such as zookeepers, biological science technicians, park rangers, etc. Thanks!
Bozeman 1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/22
Great show would love S2 to pick up where this one ends: bringing race and ecology together in Dr Wynn-Grants work and other BIPOC scientists. Honestly even having them talk to each other and relate to stories would be worth listening to. Update: S2 was great! So nice to hear a podcast that...Read full review »

I can't even remember how I came across this podcast, but I am so glad I did! I find myself absolutely riveted by the self-reflective, insightful, and vulnerable storytelling.

I wish I had grown up being exposed to the stories in this podcast. Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant is delightful to listen to and inspiring as well. I am happy to share her stories with other little black and brown girls. This is my 2nd season listening and it’s captivating.
