    Chelan Mountain snails
    Wonderful podcast. Very informative and interesting. I can only hope he can go more in depth on Chelan Mountain Snails, a truly magnificent species.
  • RMaag
    Very informative
    I just started listening to this podcast, and I will definitely continue listening. I’m learning so much from John and all of the guest speakers. I feel like I’m learning applicable knowledge that I can use in my own life to be a better steward and advocate for our wildlife. Keep up the good work!

    Interesting and informative
    Great guests who provide insights into historical conservation efforts for a variety of species, including personal observations and stories from their own lives and how they came to the field. I wasn’t sure how interesting an episode on the spotted frog could be, but they delivered!
