The Naturalist Podcast is a rambling discussion of the world outside. Hosted by Sea McKeon (a biodiversity scientist and evolutionary ecologist) and Lev Frid (a ranger, wildlife photographer, and guide) the podcast covers topics of interest to modern naturalists. Discussions center on what is going on in the immediate surroundings in "Outside my door", Recent Natural History in the News, "Tropical flavors" when the opportunity presents, Natural History media reviews and the occasional guest appearance of other naturalists from around the world. We welcome your questions, and encourage everyone to take the time to get outside and observe what is going on outside in your own neighborhood. Come visit at http://www.naturalistpodcast.com

Customer Reviews
Finally some good news!
As an urban-dwelling ecology fanatic and teacher, it is so refreshing to listen to some folks who are as authentically engaged in the world outside their doors as I feel! Thank you for being an oasis and a reminder of what’s really important.
Loved Anthony Porter’s Interview!
Anthony really brings his subject matter to life. His compassion for the natural world really shines through.
Great in-depth discussion on a broad array of Nature subjects!
I love birds but I also appreciate the wide range of other topics covered in this podcast! --Everything from cetaceans to rare moles to odonates-- The hosts Sea and Lev are both passionate and knowledgeable. I just burned through all of the available episodes--keep them coming!
