“Anyone who is traveling into the back country? Should listen to this if they do not know about the 10 essentials and hiking safety. Thank you to all the volunteers who are involved in certain rescue. Thankfully, I haven’t needed to be rescued… Yet! You are true heroes.”

“I really enjoy listening to these podcasts, and have done for years. Such interesting and inspiring themes, beautifully presented and always quality productions.

“This programme was absolutely fascinating with many perfect descriptions of the quest to find the fledglings in the nest. Not so keen on the vision of a cigar smoking spider though but it did make me laugh! I live in Bulgaria and when I first came here from the uk I strung up peanuts for the...”Read full review »

However, when the subject of Peregrine Falcons came up the mood soured, as the racers voiced their barely vailed hate towards...”Read full review »
