I’m a theorist, and I love the things that we don’t know about, so I love this podcast.

Are we getting more new episodes?? I love the nature and strange ponderings you bring us!!

What a generous gift of insight, beauty, and playful reminders to widen our thresholds for the unexpected. I love that nature must have become a canvas for adventuring and imagining. Not everyone has the opportunity to develop such objective views of this wild human existence/opportunity. This...Read full review »

Man! What a cool podcast but the fake accent kills it I just can’t listen.
ryanmlee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/22
A bit spooky, very soothing, and much poetic. I love fantasy, cryptids, and mockumentaries, so this show hits all the sweet spots. The audio quality and voice-acting is just exquisite. Bonus: no loud, obnoxious, world-breaking ads in the show. It’s my pet peeve, even though I understand why...Read full review »

Almost-profound nonsense, or almost-nonsensical profundity

That’s it. That’s the review. Cassandra wins.

I am a wildlife biologist who loves nature, beauty, poetry and unexpected creative eccentricity! I honestly can’t imagine a podcast that could satisfy me more.

Absolutely weird in all of the best ways to use the word. This is my go to when everything else is too heavy. Turn off your cynicism and let your imagination flex a little. I like to think of this podcast as a guided daydream. Obsessed.

The poet laureate of crypto natural world! Walking the edge of this storm of wonder that we all inhabit.
Jim Hardin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/22
Absolutely everything about this is a balm to the soul. Dizzying magic, a feast of language and a voice to still the most scrambled spirit.

Jared found the balance between the metaphysical and the dirt between your toes. If you are living a conscious life, or helping a friend die, or helping yourself make grand universal sense of it all, this guy is for you. Plus, he is very nice.

I love to close my eyes while I listen and let myself escape into the fictional landscapes/journeys ✨

There’s so little time in a day when life is busy. Spend it here, and please, listen deeply. Pay attention to the words.

This podcast feels like home to me. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia, mental health, botany, sunbeams, tire tracks, and deep breaths. It's charming and strange, as is the precious and humble narrator. I would be lost without it.Read full review »

I learned about this podcast from the creator’s Instagram account. That account shares a lot of great posts filled with wisdom. The podcast is different, mostly in that there is more humor, but it is just as quality content even if different. If you have a drive and want to feel more relaxed or...Read full review »

Crypto is over, this is the year of the cryptonaturalist podcast
mgragg7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/22
A podcast that will change the way you view the world. Magical mystical musings that will transport you to new (if nearly imaginary) realms. Also highly recommended: Jarod Anderson’s poetry collection A Field Guide to the Haunted Forest.
Piptweets via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/22
It's amazing how a fictional podcast can express such love for the nonfiction of the world around us. I find it difficult to truly distinguish the author from the narrator. The overarching theme of the Cryptonaturalist is amazement and love for the natural world and our human ability to...Read full review »

A show for falling asleep while dreaming of impossible yet kindred creatures. Recently discovered, highly recommended.
Overchox via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 11/04/21
This podcast is so many things to me. I feel uplifted whenever I listen to it, like the world is as open and wondrous as it seemed when I was a kid. At the same time, it’s clever and complex and very engaging to my adult brain! The different cryptids are all unique and delightful, and the...Read full review »

Now I love me some Welcome to Nightvale, Within The Wires, and Desert Oracle...I really do. But the trans dimensional fox weasel curled up in my mossy barked hardwood heart is 💯The Cryptonaturalist, a warm hug for my brain straight from the bright starry Universe itself!
Sharb Darble via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/21
I listened to the first episode having no idea what to expect...and that was the perfect way to enter the strange and beautiful world of the Cryptonaturalist.
Platward via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/21
Relatively new to the podcast audience and this was one of the first podcasts I started listening to. Absolutely love it. The writing and delivery is wonderfully wry, inventive, and packs a lot of soul. Thanks for being there, Jarod and company.

Just got out of rehab and in quarantine now and I’m loving it

I love this podcast, the beautiful imagery and story telling is always something I look forward to.
Holland RS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/20
This podcast is beautiful, strange, and haunting. It’s perfect.
Mrs.W 2008 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/20
I’m not sure what I love most about The Cryptonaturalist, if it’s the story, the story-telling, or the lovely blend of nature and poetry throughout. I do know that all these things make a wonderful, peaceful listening experience! Five stars - every episode.
megapteranova via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/18/20
This is the most delightful, thought provoking and imagination inspiring lovely broadcast in my ears these days. As a nature lover, this speaks to me of the unknown world that could be, and ignites my dreamy childhood visions of the woods around me. The loveliest snippet of your day if you give...Read full review »

I’ve been followingThe Cryptonaturalist on Twitter and loved the posts and just learned about the podcast and now binge listening. Really really great...episode 34 had so many profound and helpful thoughts I wanted to write down every line. Love this.
JSH-22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/20
Whimsical, wondrous, funny and wise fiction from a one of a kind brilliant and beautiful mind. Episode 34 Pep Talk, is one of the most wonderful things to have ever traveled through my ears to my innermost being And my absolute favorite source of poetry and wonder @cryptonaturalist on IG
EliReeve via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/20
This podcast is so perfect on so many levels. I find character called The Transmission to be annoying, but he is the only downside. The narration, the creativity, the theme music, the vibes and aesthetic; all of them have fully entranced me. This is an absolutely wonderful production, and I look...Read full review »
EmilyWynters via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/24/19
One of the absolute best podcasts out there. Amazing writing, ideas, and voice acting. I think I binged the entirety of it in under three days because WOW. It’s also one of those pieces of art that makes me think about the world differently, like everything is a little more magical. Beautiful...Read full review »

I’m not quite sure if this podcast is fiction or not... I like to listen while walking and I feel like these creatures, these experiences are all around me. I already have a deep appreciation for nature (as a naturalist by profession) but this podcast brings out another side of that: an...Read full review »

Strange, lovely, and always brings a smile to my face. It's like a reminder of all the little hidden wonders in the world, and that there's magic in everything. Thank you for being a part of my daily meditations.Read full review »

It's really good and engaging in the way Pratchett was good and engaging. Taking something that you could walk out and experience and adding just the touch of wonder.Read full review »

Always unexpectedly lovely.
Olyphant88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/19
It’s so poetic, spooky, and oddly hopeful. So many powerful lines that stick with you for the rest of the day. I love it! (Happy 100th review!)
MollyW42 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/19
Magical and mysterious ecological delights served with a large helping of poetry and just the right sprinkling of philosophical musings.

Terrific performer of a host, beautiful and very funny writing, with excellent poetry and fiction readings inserted into every episode. The perfect road trip podcast!

I listen to this program often and am always glad when I do! Step back from the hustle of life and think a little deeper. Whimsical and well crafted! Thanks Cryptonaturalist!

The Cryptonaturalist hits all the marks! Their voice is a delight to listen to as well! ((100th babeeeyy))
graytendencies via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/19
This is possibly my favorite podcast. It is magical and mystical and weird and I absolutely love every single episode. I listen to this while I’m on my walk to my classes and it adds the perfect amount of delightful weirdness to my day. Incredible. Highly recommend.
lover29 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/19
Have you ever day-dreamed about what John Muir would be like if he’d searched for Bigfoot in a talking RV? Do you love words like crepuscular and bucolic? Do you occasionally need to walk quietly amongst trees? If so, this is the podcast for you. Just be prepared for weirdness.
MichaelDM19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/19
when your view has been mossen trees for the past several days, you will start believing every word from this show, which is enchanting.
LeKing1231 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/19
The softest, sweetest, most soothing sensory joy I have ever experienced. It’s my go to after a long, hard day because I can sink into the narrator’s melodious voice and leave behind my body for a while to go explore the weird and wonderful in the corners of our world. If I’d had this podcast...Read full review »

This podcast invites you to stop and smell the roses and then consider how you are connected in the great chain of existence between the acrid air, the sweet nectar, and the inviting loam of ineffable creation.
