hillakilla09Yes please!More podcasts about Minnesota’s natural areas please! Prairie pod is a great celebration of a great state!

cccccbbbbbmmmmmHands down my favorite nature podcastI love all of the specialist guests on this podcast and Megan’s enthusiasm and humor. I used to be a woods lover only but my mind is completely open to the prairie now. I’m super jealous of people in Minnesota and their amazing DNR with all of the programs in conservation. I believe other states need to take a good look at the leadership Minnesota shows inthus area.

GhjjjsCould be betterI love prairies and am so grateful for this informative podcast. I did however find the host to be excessively loud and soon tired of her endless laughing. She seemed very enthusiastic and knowledgeable but needs to tone it down a bit.
