Brilliant show concept -stories of the night; spanning from ancient hidden cave art in France to interviews of people in an Oakland donut shop at 3am. Each episode is its own little world, transporting you to something so far sways and foreign, yet so familiar. Vanessa the host is an expert...Read full review »

The stories and soundscapes envelope you like a blanket of night. Great for walking, driving at night. I’ve felt seen by a few of these stories, which was a wonderful experience.

… that I both appear on it (the episode I Don’t Get Lost), and happily support it via Patreon. There are few podcasts that sound so sonically rich as Vanessa’s, and is well worth your time.

Beautifully told stories.

I just found this show and it’s nearly perfect at helping me wind down the day. The story telling feels meticulously told. This show has a similar feeling as Rumble Strip, This Is Love, Here Be Monsters. So glad I found this show! Please keep making this show… you’re making beautiful art!

So many amazing stories, wonderfully hosted and produced by Vanessa Lowe. Such a vast array of stories in the night, all edited with the perfect atmosphere to match! Can’t get enough. Definitely my favorite podcast.

This is my most favourite podcast of all time. You can tell that time and effort is dedicated to each episode. There is no other podcast that comes close 🙏🏼

Great storytelling with a wide range of topics. Wish it wasn’t only once a month.
SmilezForLyfe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/22
I turn this on and get absorbed into the story and I am usually asleep before the end. Very soothing stories of the night.

This podcast is absolute audio beauty. Immersive. Wonderful.

Surrounds me like a cool night fog

This is a very controversial issue and has been for a while, so when I provided a comment regarding the management of tule elk from the park service perspective the host responded kindly.

Such a wonderful podcast.

Love this! I have always loved the night! I love hearing other peoples opinion on the night.
Cat_tt5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/21
Realistic sound design, pristine audio quality, gripping content and great graphics makes Nocturne a must listen podcast for me! The night has always been fascinating with the possibilities that some want to hide from and others open up to. Vanessa takes the listener on a journey with every episode.

It’s been 6 years. I hope karma caught up to the loser who hit the mockingbird with the hose. I hate that man and I wish him no success.
pshkfbe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/21
What a gem! Vanessa Lowe’s creative, thoughtful hosting and the show’s delightfully atmospheric sound engineering make it easy to get sucked into each episode.
ShadowWings via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/21
I just heard a review on NPR of my favorite podcast, Nocturne. I could not agree more! Vanessa Lowe has created a beautiful and well edited podcast in voice and music that is always interesting with intelligent topics not heard anywhere else.

Having been mostly indoors for over a year now it’s been a real delight to listen to stories of people out on adventures in the night. I particularly loved the episode about the woman who travelled from SF to Hawaii.

Sometimes lovely, sometimes thought provoking, always a pleasure. My favorite nighttime listen.
rtfbk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/21
The ambiance, the cadence, the sound mixing, the guest appearances, and of course, the content is just top notch! Thanks for producing such quality material
Kevegrin via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 03/31/21
This exhilarating show with host, Vanessa Lowe, takes human activity at night seriously. More, the host meanders through the experiences of her guests with such craft that by the time I finished listening to an episode I have this growing sense of intimacy with both their experiences and the...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing. Just for reference my favorite podcast for years had been snap judgment. I could never find another pod that gave them same vibes until now. Love love love the stories.
Moarbrows via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/21
Always excellent stories, well told with great background music.
Hrivnak8 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/25/21
Vanessa’s style of storytelling is outstanding. Despite knowing Lia’s story intimately (as one of her shore team) I was still captivated and transported to the middle of the ocean. Lia is herself an incredibly eloquent narrator, but it takes superb editing and skill to condense it all into such...Read full review »

This is my first time reviewing, I’m not very good about leaving reviews, but I felt compelled to say how much I enjoy these stories. The way they are put together and her voice is soothing and captivating. Thank you!
Nightowl57 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/21
Always interesting with surprises in great store. Always a good day when Nocturne comes across my feed.

If you love the night, you will love this podcast. Just the best!
Dabneydu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/21
I’ve listened to all but a few episodes so far, and it’s been an amazing experience. I’ve felt a connection to the subject in many episodes, whether it’s a feeling, a mental state, or an experience, I could relate. And in some instances it’s a little reassuring that others feel and/or think...Read full review »

magically atmospheric, beautiful, rich storytelling, soothing, a balm to the soul for those awake during the night or fascinated with the night in general.

I can’t wait to listen to more!
Maximus Desimus Meridius 1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/21
I’ve listened for years. There’s nothing else like it. Truly unique and creative. Perfect bedtime listening. Keep up the good work, Vanessa! :)

I love Nocturne! Vanessa is an amazing host who finds truly fascinating stories.
Celia_______1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/20
It is clear that Vanessa puts a lot of work into her podcast, as her original ideas surprise me again and again and I have learned stuff about things I didn‘t even know were a thing! You get immersed in the story & either feel calm, intrigued, dreamy or absolutely terrified! This is largely...Read full review »

Love listening to this at night, waiting to sleep. It’s always good, always something new and interesting.
Gildiebeans via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 10/24/20
A truly unique, never the same, and consistently excellent Podcast. It defies any classification and is best listened to with the lights out.
Steevee Jandalee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/20
I look forward to my nighttime walks home after work now more than ever with this podcast. I’m the night owl of my family, and I’m relived that there are others out there who understand the truly ephemeral properties that the night has and are eager to share their night stories, experiences, and...Read full review »

maria tenta via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/20
As a night owl, I became hooked on this podcast from episode 1! At its heart, this is a story telling podcasts, covering angles from all over the world and all types of people.

I enjoy listening to this at night, whether I’m home or out and about. It makes me feel safe, though sometimes it ought not to. Beautiful work.
