elikqitieThe Unique Stories Encompassing Our Amazing PlanetIf you remember reading National Geographic as a kid, then you’ll really enjoy the culture, information and storytelling on this podcast. Every episode dives into an interesting subject about curiosities and extremes of our natural world with entertaining episodes that are well produced with amazing audio content.

nikbobikRats vs humans episodeI didn’t really appreciate the reporters bias towards rats. I wish they would have focused equally on rat lovers and rat haters. Things like “rat ick factor” and ending on “The way to unite humans is our disgust for rats,” is not was I was expecting for a title of “Rats vs Humans: A Love Story.” Also rats don’t carry the plague. Yersenia pestis is the bacteria carried by fleas. All mammals can spread these fleas. In fact, in my area some prairie dogs have been known to have these carrier fleas. Rats did play a role is migration of the bubonic plague, but it was mostly spread human to human by respiratory droplets (cough, sneeze, etc.). I’m honestly surprised Bobby agreed to be a part of this discussion with the bias. He is a great person to look to as to the attitude to have towards rats. Yes they can be invasive, wild rats can also be extremely destructive to property, but they are also loving and caring animals. If you have ever had pet rats you know this. Good story about rats: my daughter suffered from social anxiety after the schools shut down, during the pandemic. She got 6 pet rats and they have totally changed her life. She is happy and outgoing and able to go to school without fear now. Rats are amazing little creatures.

Oscar Mike GuyTrapped in Icy Waters Podcast Had Me Searching for MoreListening to this podcast about Mark Synnott’s tracing of the Franklin Expedition was captivating. Learning of the challenges that Mark and his crew experienced in Pasley Bay when their sail boat Polar Sun was trapped by the sea ice seemed to be recreating the helplessness experienced by Sir John Franklin’s doomed voyage instead of following a route taken long ago. This is what made the podcast so interesting to me. After the podcast I watched the special on Disney to gain a better idea of the journey. Then, I read the article in the August 2023 edition of the National Geographic magazine. Although I had the magazine I had not taken an interest in the article until I heard the podcast. Needless to say, I will be purchasing Mark’s book describing his journey when it comes out. In regards to the flight that John Gross made some years back when he saw the rock structures that are presumably the resting place of Sir John Franklin, I have looked at Google Earth images of the area in the hopes of spotting something myself. After looking at the images for a while I can see why it is so difficult to distinguish one area from another as the topography looks the same. Imagining myself in the plane with John that day years ago, I could see myself tossing out weighted orange streamers to mark the site vice relying on GPS coordinates that may or may not be accurate. Placing visible markers on the ground could help locate the site years afterwards and be seen in different types of weather conditions. This is the magic of National Geographic - telling a story in such a manner that you are right there with Jacob, Tom, and Mark trekking over rough terrain on a quest to solve a great mystery. Thank you.

wax cramerEvolution of a liarI know I am late to the game, but I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I am a mental health therapist and work with many kids and families who will appreciate hearing this. My only question… When you asked parents if they actually had run out of bars of soap at home, how do you know that they were telling the truth as opposed to the children doing so? Thank you for a great show.

Happy TJ's ShopperEvery Episode is ExcellentI found this show a year ago, and have enjoyed it so much that I’ve gone back to the beginning andlistened to every single episode. Without exception, each show is thoroughly researched, written, and delivered. I feel like I’ve traveled all over the world and back in time. I especially like the focus on BIPOC Explorers. Highly recommend!

ShrigBoofReverse Chronological OrderI hate that Apple doesn’t have a feature that lets you reverse the chronological order the podcast appears in. Super annoying to have to scroll down through 120+ episodes to see the most ones.

armchairargonautStick to excellence1619 project was an abomination. Steep decline in quality, it’s undeniably terrible
-
Paul 86538Just stick to animals and volcanoesI didn’t not like the episode on the 1619 project. I did not like how the guest referred to Trump as a white nationalist without any push back from the host.
-
FlippantGirlToo bad it’s racist and leftistInteresting stories, would have loved to keep listening but I’m not willing to listen to anti white racism and leftist/fascist narrative.
-
SaurolophusWonderful, except for fake SiriLove the shows! The only blemish is the insufferable fake Siri character featured in the mythology episodes; makes them unlistenable.
-
K_Mick49Missing HonorificsCame to the show for the episode with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, who was not only introduced without her honorific, but also not titled correctly in the show notes. If you listen to her show “Going Wild”, she clearly discusses the micro-aggressions experienced as a Black female scientist, including the assumption that she couldn’t possibly be all three. I want to give the show 5 stars because I believe it is important information being shared, but 5 stars don’t call out issues needing to be addressed. It’s nearly 2023, come on.

mondomando🍺Great choice of topics.Makes me more interested in NatGeo organization and magazine.

nonprofitguuuuuuuurlSo glad I listen!Sometimes I read a synopsis and I’m not entirely interested, but every time I hit play I’m wowed and intrigued. Really quality work that never fails to capture my interest.

KipDrumGreatWhen has anything from National Geographic ever been less than excellent? Like never.

BegownClimate change is science not politicsDon’t be surprised when a science-based podcast reports on science-based topics. If you’re upset that NatGeo is reporting on climate change because you think it’s “politics”…maybe you should start engaging more with science and less with the politicians.

Mr. FrazeeOcean environmentI am Locke Frazier, awarded world’s best photographer by Gary Carter with the BBC mainly due to my glacier studies. But I also study the planet. The chaos of the North Atlantic current is evident. The problem is monumental so I feel the solution will have to be monumental as well. We have plenty of salt in the US and if Denmark agrees we need to dump it off ythe Greenland ice shelf to kick start the current. If not when all the currents stop in thousands of years there will be snowball earth again! Thanks for your attention

moryoryOne of the Best PodcastsThis podcast is one of the best for drama, factual information and just plan fun.

Jln8675309More than you ever knew you needed to knowIts easy to search for a specific topic and learn all about it. But what about the topics that you neverheard about and don't have any idea they exist?? How do you grow? How do you find them to learn more? THIS IS YOUR PODCAST I love this podcast and i constantly learn a lot.

Rural livinFight fire with fireSomewhere in the 11+ minutes left in this episode I hope that you try to explain the real meaning behind “only you can prevent wildfires” such as don’t throw your cigarette butt out the window, don’t irresponsibly leave your campfire burning or let it get out of control, don’t shoot fireworks in dry, wooded areas. Any surface research will show this irresponsible activity causes wildfires with devastating effects including loss of home, property and lives… not to mention the brave men and women who commit to fighting the fires tirelessly and with great risk. National Geographic, I’ve always been a fan since my young years but I’m disappointed in how you chose to portray a PSA that has the right message.

astockkSo fun! So informative!So much info packed into such a small episode! I only wish they would just keep going on; I could listen forever!!!
