The Wild Life

41

An optimistic, curiosity-chasing show about the wonder and wildness of life, following the threads that connect us to the natural world. The Wild Life is, always has been, and always will be a show about the diversity of life within the animal kingdom, but it's about more than that. It's about connections. It's about how the natural world inspires our culture, movies, and technologies. It's about the patterns that persist throughout not just life, but the universe itself. It's about us.The Wild Life is a place for the curious, the adventurous, the hopeful, and the hopeless to discover the natural world through unique perspectives. Between the blog and podcasts, The Wild Life seeks to bring the traditional naturalist experience into the 21st century by merging immersive storytelling and foley art with technology and creative experiences. It’s an exploration of truth, common ground, and shared places as we attempt to fill each episode with wonder, connectedness, intrigue, and humor.Thank you for being here.Contact | devonlbowker@gmail.com

  • it Goes Down in the PM
    well done
    I really like this podcast I love nature the host convo was very natural and entertaining. Keep up the good work
  • Atlantis887766
    Boring hosts, interesting guests
    The hosts talk trash way too much in the beginning and I always need to fast forward to the guest section. By the way, nature does not care about gender equality or inclusivity. Go somewhere to forward that goal and just keep the conversation about nature. Also, cut out some of the mind-bogglingly stupid games in the end.
  • Bailey loves this app
    Fantastic podcast
    Ive learned so many things from the wild life podcast! I mostly listen to this podcast when I’m driving or doing chores. My boyfriend and I absolutely love it. They explain the wonders and curiosity of nature through fun and informative ways. :))
  • 8Mark L8
    Excellent Podcast!
    Delivered in a very exceptional way to provide massive information with a bit of levity. The most social scientific method I have heard.
  • Sentinel90
    Great show!
    Great organization and fantastic podcast episodes - definitely worth subscribing to!
  • jessatt19
    Let the experts speak!
    There really needs to be more interview and less of these guys waxing poetic about the subject of that particular episode. I specifically tuned in to hear from a researcher I was excited about, but it turned out they only got to speak for a few minutes at most. Really disappointing format
  • Galatheallll
    Great podcast!
    The interviews are fun and informative. They cover a wide variety of topics.

  • Ofliesandhope
    Absolutely delightful
    Found this pod through Dr. Pagán the planarian scientist. When you need to fall in love with the natural world again, listen to this show
  • AlphaMHC
    An informative variety nature show
    The Wild Life is chock full of interesting information, in episodes both short and long. Interview episodes tend to be longer ones, with scientists talking about their research. The unifying theme of the show is science/nature facts, which I think a lot of people are intrinsically interested in. Learn more about the natural world! The show is hosted by two brothers, both science oriented but one is more nature focused and kind of takes the lead. The show seems to be pretty SFW and I think kids would really enjoy the info in this podcast, especially if they’re passionate about the outdoors and animals.
  • Hoff222
    Great podcast

  • Nerdy Plant Nerd

    I love the tone of this show! The hosts deliver a HUGE amount of information and education in a way that keeps it fun and engaging. The best kind of educational podcast is the kind that makes you laugh and smile. Everyone learns better when they're happy!
  • mjames126

  • M. G. Scott
    Personable
    These guys are amazing and personable. I especially enjoy it when they have an animal guest.
  • Spirited_Wolf
