“What can I say about the Rossifari Podcast? It literally saved my life. No, I can’t say that because it would be a lie. But what I can say is that it was a lucky find and is a regular brightener of my days. I’m a lifelong animal lover. I don’t work with them or even in a related field, but I’ve never stopped having a deep affection for and a desire to know everything I can about them. In his podcast, Jon takes on the role of the listener as a lay person in a zoo world – fawning over adorable animals (he has around 1,463 favorites; you’ll quickly learn what’s at the top of the list), giddiness about the unique interactions he’s experienced (walrus vibrissae!), and geeking out over zoo things in a way that can best be described as ‘most entertaining’. While it’s a lot of fun, I also learn a ton from this podcast. It spotlights a number of facilities I never knew existed. It’s fascinating to hear from keepers about individual animals’ quirks and personalities. Or why an exhibit was designed the way it was. You never know where these interviews will go and what info will be unearthed that the listener would likely never hear otherwise. Jon’s voice is soothing and friendly and his jokes are awesome. You can tell that he makes guests feel comfortable and they’re eager to chat. Their depth of knowledge and love for what they do are abundantly clear. At the heart of the podcast is a message of animal conservation. It’s exciting to think about the next generations of keepers, trainers, vets, educators, field conservationists, etc who are being positively influenced as it continues to grow.”
