What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is 5.0 for a reason. I’ve only discovered it by chance, but I was instantly hooked. It’s incredibly captivating, and the sound production is top notch. The only con is that it’s only a handful of episodes. The team seems to release 1-2 episodes every year, and they are all very short.

I love the content of this show and all of the history and scientific research occurring in my favorite national park. However, both the host and guests always seem to be whispering. Even with my car volume turned all the way up, I still have difficulty hearing it over the road noise. Improved sound engineering will help the success of this podcast.

I will echo what others have written - this is s superb podcast. I am not bothered by the short form as it’s a perfect length to tell the individual stories. I just wish they were coming out with greater frequency. I am already dreading the moment when I’ve listened to the last one.

This is a superb podcast that anyone interested in Yellowstone National Park would be interested in. The podcast is educational, informative, and well-produced. I highly recommend it. In fact, I only have two criticisms of this podcast: 1) the episodes are too short, and 2) the episodes don't come out nearly frequently enough!
