Even though this series is no longer, they are so good, I keep on relistening! (Just as you would any good book). Fascinating, scientific & presented by the very gifted Dr Anne Jones with a mix of wonderful nature sounds. It’s the whole well balanced package. What the Duck is the new look...Read full review »

This is such a wonderful program. I love listening to it connecting us to the sounds and facts of nature with the lovely voice and expertise of Anne Jones. Who doesn’t it need to be more connected to nature when all we hear about on the radio is about the pandemic. Thank you for so much delight.

Always interesting and enjoyable, and brightens up an English winter. Ann Jones has lovely voice too.

The perfect bedtime podcast. Ann Jones is a beautiful soul and so smart and witty and easy to listen to. The work she is doing here is impressive. I usually relisten after falling asleep to this show.

This is my all time favourite show.

Always a joy to tap into this wealth of love for Australian nature. A constant source of learning and deeper understanding about the wildlife and environment around me. I get a real thrill from gearing my contributions to the show. Anne Jones is an absolute star for the ABC.

Like i said this show is amazing btw cc cobs can get stuffed Dr Jones does the job to perfection
MrOmissoM via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/15/21
Most of the podcasts are quite good. What I can’t stand however is Ann Jones habit of ‘dumbing down’ the science and her corny ‘playschool’ style. I really enjoyed the recent episode about zoos and their role in the conservation of threatened species. Ann showed that she can make a very good and...Read full review »

Dr. Ann Jones, You are one of my favorite people. I just know it. April 8. 2021 Listening to Tripple Blue again. So educational and easy to listen to and absorb. Like being on a field trip you don’t want to end.

The Off Track team taking us far and wide, this series truly is a delight for the ears.
J1LM via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 03/26/21
Literally, this program transport you into nature, I hear it at work all the time and it makes my feel quite there, outdoors while I learnt a lot. Nature tracks recording are wonderful for relaxation. Thanks Dr Jones
JulianUP via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/24/21
Thankyou for providing such a topical series on Australian natural areas/urban interfaces. It’s been difficult to find a nature series specific to Australia. Would love to see more new eps!
podcraft via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/30/21
Superb for downtime. Focus time. Me time. With the Australian bush. Thank you.
9super via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/28/21
I am only moderately into nature and environment topics, but I love this podcast. Dr Jones has a really personable and engaging style that makes it very interesting.

I could not recommend this fabulous podcast more. I love listening to all the beautiful stories from around our country and sometimes other parts of our planet as well. There hasn’t been one episode ever to disappoint me. Dr. Ann Jones your passions and knowledge are inspiring. Thank you for...Read full review »

Off track is a balm to my country brain stuck in inner city Melbourne lockdown. I have been listening for years, but appreciate it so much more now. Ann and her guests take me away from the city, into the bush and desert and ocean - learning about nature and science and culture. Nature tracks -...Read full review »

Wow! What a great podcast. Eels, crocs, rescues! All gasps and giggles from this new listener. I wish I’d found this show at the beginning of lockdown. Great backing tracks as well.
ajc42 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/16/20
I’ve loved listening to Off Track for several years now, it’s like my podcast ‘happy place’! More recently I can’t get enough of the new ‘Nature Track’ soundscapes, I use them as a relaxing background sound while I work, and also for winding down at night. Highly recommend! 🐸🍃☀️🐝🌻🦆
loulabelle35 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/26/20
Love the Nature Track series but the intro refers to 5 episodes and only 4 have been uploaded to this podcast? There’s a 3 minute one but after refreshing as instructed I don’t see a one hour version referred to.
JuneGrant via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/22/20
Great show and really enjoying the Nature Track series
BJ483 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/11/20
Always enjoyed the show, but the Extended versions of nature songs are wonderful. Lovely to play in the background while working.
BargaraBlue via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/07/20
The nature track is great if you want to drown out the tinnitus, but don’t feel like listening to music or talking. I’m enjoying the rainforest one right now. Nice one.
Brettro-la via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/07/20
Ann Jones is fab. Love her work. Admirable views, interviewing style, perspective, enthusiasm, and delivery. Delightful content!
CNZdenek via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/27/20
Off track and Anne Jones are my tonic. As soon as I hear the opening music I drift into a nature wonderland in my mind. It is thought provoking, fascinating, refreshing. I’ve introduced my grandchildren to it - as well as Noisy by Nature- and they love it. Thank you so much. Never take it off...Read full review »

ryz0 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/11/19
I don’t know why the ABC starves this marvellous little program of budget. It’s a wonderful series featuring interesting and important stories about nature and some fascinating people - experts and amateurs - all with a passion for flora and fauna. Ann Jones does a great job with the resources...Read full review »

Fantastic topics, very informative, Ann Jones presents it brilliantly - wants to make you go there!
EK_77 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/03/19
I usually love all the Off Track eps. This one was awful as a podcast. Barking dogs are not good to listen to.
XXginger via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/21/19
This podcast is interesting. The stories include the natural environment and the people who explore them. I’ve found the podcast has built my curiosity, I take time to notice more of my own natural environment. Thank you ABC
4589jen via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/07/19
I love the relaxed, conversational style of the show. The guest are always interesting people with a unique perspective. I’m not in Australia, but it’s still really fascinating to hear the wildlife over there.
nicole4544 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/19
has slowly got me hooked. I can’t get enough of the bird, frog and mammal sounds, and the shows about bilbies and the Yarra pygmy perch are fascinating and sad in that order.
Buttonbbb via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/18/19
Brilliant podcast for the nature lover. Informative, atmospheric and full of wonder

Sharing the joys and pleasures of going outside. Thanks

Off Track is one of the best podcasts around. Transporting you to all sorts of intriguing places, listening to a multitude of animals, birds and insects and expanding your knowledge of the world, there is no better way to spend time learning and enjoying nature during your commute, at work, doing...Read full review »

I adore this podcast. The pace and tone are so soothing, being ‘Off Track’ you wouldn’t expect anything else. Yet, it helps to have a reminder to slow down and tune in to the harmonious complexity of nature. Bliss

Great podcast for the whole family. We have all learnt so much about Australian natural history, and the earworms from planet earth are the best - we love trying to guess whether it is a bug, bird or frog!
Juzzo24 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/20/18
I’m a bit of a bird and frog nut - I can’t believe there’s a podcast that’s as crackers about bird song and frog identification as I am. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Swangrrl via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/23/18
A must for nature-lovers - Ann does a wonderful job conveying the wonder at our amazing natural world and covers a wide variety of fascinating topics.
rachaelbuzio via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/13/18
Ok who else gets a hit of dopamine as the jingle launches and “I’m Ann Jones and this is Off Track”? Makes me melt every time.
Horst303 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/13/18
Off Track podcasts are beautifully narrated, covering topics that are not widely known and understood, sometimes even quirky. I love the way ambient nature sounds are incorporated into the program and also the use of simple, thoughtful, musical notes. Off track is one of my favourite podcasts,...Read full review »
