gogogadgetlipsRelaxing and factingThis podcast has it going on if you’re into nature and need to unwind!

CarlylyAs advertisedThought-provoking facts about animals delivered in a soothing way. I tend to drift off considering what else there is to learn about the featured animal.

harvard585Stefan Wolfe is the Bob Ross of the animal kingdom!His calming voice describes fascinating animals, allowing you to visualize their characteristics and habitats in great detail. Each episode is an exercise in mindfulness that has helped me quiet anxiety and conquer insomnia.

Lfive3814Great podcast!!! 😁Hi. I listened to this podcast a couple of weeks ago and don’t know why l stop listening. I love the smooth voice and the music of it. I just wish that we would get more information about the animals. The animals that you picked are amazing 🤩! This is one of the best calm animals podcast EVER!!! Thanks for this podcast and good luck on future episodes!

hrebeccal45Ads could work if HE read them!This podcast is top-notch and helped me through some tough times. I’m among the fans who support Stefan no matter what, wind rain or shine, with or without ads. I support his decision to roll back ads, but hope someday he meets a sponsor that appreciates him enough to have him read the ads in his own signature style — I think that alone could make the difference in this community’s tolerance of an ad-supported model. It disheartens me to hear only “really big podcasters” get to read their own ads. ‘Relax w/ Animal Facts’ is as big as they it gets as far as I’m concerned. Any company would be lucky to have Stefan read their adsin his sweet, dulcet tones. With or without ads I’m here for it. Go Stefan! Thank you for all that you do ❤️

SeeingvoicesLove your podcastTonight I heard you make apology (s) for your first episode(s) Shame! I think I have listened to every episode. I did not go back and listen to the first one because you forbade it lol Truly I am 74 yo female and I love every single episode you do and I love your soundscapes too! Don’t change Steph

CheezyPotatoesI love this podcast!No ads, no loud noises just animal facts. Love from America 🫶🏾
-
shfthdybdWhy is this so good?!I recommend this to everyone (especially animal lovers) because it’s surprisingly REALLY educational. I usually listen to 2 per night to catch up because I can’t get enough of it! 5/5 stars is way to low for you Steph (I would put 45 more if I could)!
-
AbbyAudioVery Relaxing ListenReally enjoy listening to these, interesting listen while relaxing. Love putting a few episodes on before bed.
-
fzffyGreat podcastI’m so glad you decided not to have commercials. Your show is terrific. You are getting better and better. You’re becoming quite a comedian. I love your podcast. Can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve been listening to you since you started. Have you covered cicadas yet? If not they might be fun animals to discover.

Reviewer1008492)2&4@5"1I Relax to this podcast almost every night!What a great podcast- joined on patreon to say thank you! Tardigrade episode is my favorite but i enjoy every one.

Steve TriMetI love Relax With Animal Facts & its host is brilliant!!!Hey everyone…listen to this podcast. The thoughtfulness with which the host quietly and calmly describes the myriad of beautiful and fascinating wildlife that we share this planet is divine. The podcast sends me into the ethereal depths of the dream world alongside an animal partner with whom to slip away from the conscious state in peace. Don’t ever stop. If having a commercial or two means that you can continue this endeavor happier, healthier, and more fulfilled, then you would be doing all of us a disservice if you didn’t. Love and support to you from Portland, Oregon. -Steve

grasecksenI hate the ads.I debated about how many stars to give the podcast. Before the ads were added I would have given 5 stars without question, but the ads are truly awful-loud, chirpy, upbeat, jarring. Certainly not relaxing. I understand the need for monetizing the show, so I have switched to listening through Patreon which is ad free. If not for that option (at a small subscription cost) I would have to abandon this podcast which would be a shame as it is otherwise perfect for winding down to sleep and for returning to sleep after the 2 AM wake ups.
-
texaslinda90Ads wake me upSo sad. I loved this podcast but can’t listen anymore. I’m happily relaxed and sometimes asleep by the end of the podcast, but then am jolted awake by the loud commercial. It defeats the purpose of a relaxing podcast.

annqum5 STAR! Amazing! Awesome! FantastaliciousThis podcast has definitely helped me with so many things, from feeding my interests to calming me down on a rough day. Mr. Wolfe’s voice is so soothing which allows listeners to calm down so much easier. There are so many episodes and so many animals to listen about! When I wake up in the middle of the night and hear episodes still playing, I fall asleep right away. I want to thank Mr. Wolfe because he has helped me so much and having a new episode posted instantly makes my day. I do have a request for an animal! I would love if you could do an episode on vaquitas. I don’t know much about them and I would love to learn it from this podcast. I do know they are endangered, and having an episode on the podcast can help bring awareness to the subject. Thank you Stefan for this wonderful podcast! ❤️
-
Catherine wolf 🐺🐺🐺Love it!I love this podcast so much, and I started listening from the beginning for a review, and thanks for the wolf episode! Wolves are my favorite animal, and I have a small suggestion. Maybe you could try doing a specific species of animal, for example, you could do an episode on arctic wolves, and a more specific variety of animals. Love the podcast helps me fall asleep when I’m stressed. Thanks so much! ❤️🐺
-
kappyappExceptional podcastThis is one of my all time favorite podcasts. It’s relaxing (as the name implies), informative, and also really funny! The host has the perfect voice and delivery to somehow both entertain and get you relaxed enough to drift off to a lovely sleep. I recommend this to absolutely everyone I know.
-
BartharreeyuomI have to go to my friends house 🏡 and I have to get a new phone 📱Like the other podcast I will be listening to your podcast and if your podcast doesn’t have what it takes I will have to unfollow your podcast.
-
PallidBat1000I wrote you a hyrax joke!One hyrax says to the other, “Would you like to go to the opera with me?” And the second one says, “Nah, I’m more of a rock hyrax, myself.” Your podcast is the best! Love, Pallid Bat

REZNIL JANNERYAdvertsCongrats. If ads can be in keeping with the calming tone okay but if not I won’t listen when unwinding at bedtime.
-
Tinkle LeeI adore this podcastThe title says it all, I adore this podcast. I listen to the episodes over and over again as I put them on before bed to fall asleep to. I’ve often got a lot on my mind and Stef’s reminder to become jello is just what I need to relax at the end of a long day. If I could request an animal it’d be the old English Mastiff. They were once dogs you would bring into battle but my EM only sawed logs on the couch when he was living. He recently passed this past September and I miss him most of all, but I also miss his larger than life personality which is a common trait with EMs.

Name that's hard to pronounceCan’t live without itI have already reviewed this podcast before but i still think my past review didn’t capture how much this podcast means to me. I have insomnia due to my adhd which means sleeping at a reasonable hour is pretty much unheard of for me, i always get so wrapped up in my thoughts and anxieties, that was until i found out about this podcast. It was a good day out, in a car ride, i had decided to listen to a podcast and looked up “relax with animal facts” low and behold i found exactly what j wanted. A zoology nerd with insomnia finding a podcast about relaxation and zoology? It sounded like a miracle. this podcast has become a part of my daily routine, every night I turn an episode on, put a sleep timer and hear those heavenly first few piano notes, steph wolfe’s voice was a bit strange at first but it truly grew on me, now it seems so calming to me. Hearing facts i never knew about animals is truly exciting, and since i get distracted easily it means i can replay these episodes over and over and over again to hear what i missed out on. My favorite episodes are the binturong and highland cow one. I apologize if this review was long but it’s only a margin of how much i love this podcast. If i may request would you mind reviewing the african crested rat? I heard about it recently and i would love to learn about it.

XXMaddieRaeXXI love this podcastAs a zoology student, I love listening to this podcast as I fall asleep as it helps me unwind from my day while still helping me learn. This podcast is a great way to help you practice your jello imitation, I’m still waiting for my Oscar. My favorite episode so far is the Red Panda episode. I am also small and stout. I hope some day there is a Lemon Shark episode. They are my favorite kind of sharks and I remember seeing a news story about this specific lemon shark that liked to give hugs to a team of divers that were observing her. This is an easy 8 out of 5 podcast as it breaks the scale with each episode.

banjosshadowLove it!This podcast is one of my favorites! I love learning about animals, and Stef’s voice is very soothing. I usually fall asleep before the end of an episode, doing my Oscar-worthy impression of jello. I also really appreciate Stef’s sense of humor, and his genuine interest in the topic. I do miss the ums and the chamomile tea breaks, but I understand the changes. Thanks, Stef, for all of your hard work!
-
SydMStarkeySuch a great podcast (pure happiness)I hope you continue this forever! This was my first podcast I listened too. I don’t use this podcast to sleep but I listen to it when I get ready in the morning, I love animals and learning new things all while calming my mind during different parts of my day. Thank you for what you do. Looking forward to the day you hopefully do a Sandhill Crane ❤️

verry kerriA sober version of wine with a valiumWith all the world chaos and general life struggles, falling asleep is nearly impossible. This program helps me relax and reframe my thoughts, quiet my mind and helps me shut down so I can fall into a deep sleep. The animal facts are interesting and his soft and slow delivery is extremely soothing. I also love the classic dad joke at the end delivered like a dry, saltine cracker. The podcast is also wonderful for your commute home on those days when your life suddenly morphs into the show BEEF. Please add more relaxation exercise in the intro and help me get to jello faster. It would also be nice to have longer segments. My animal request would be an alligator or praying mantis. Thank you for this gift❤️🐊

🌼Izzie🌼Do the leather back turtle, please... I wrote a review on Spotify too!Hello, you will mever get rid of me by the way. The taylor swift was a joke, and can you do a Q and A episode.

Elissa I.SpectacularI could not give a podcast a higher endorsement.
-
Rosette 🌹 NebulaLove the podcast!This podcast is really relaxing and informative. I really like listening each night. My one suggestion is to make sure not to talk too fast in the intro 😊 Also, can you do an episode on the Fainting Goat or the Fire Ant? Thanks keep up the great work! ⭐️(PS I rate a 5.74 out of 6) -Molly D

-
Stacy5114Great for mental healthI love this show to relax to and learn something great about animals. Thanks !
-
Hardcore EPPerfect podcast for relaxationI’ve listened to this show every night since the early days. Most episodes multiple times because I fall asleep part-way through. I do miss when Stef would comment on drinking camomile tea, but no matter how the podcast evolves, it never fails to be both informative and relaxing.
-
AirmanMomSo much useful information!Your podcast is one of my favorites. Not only do you share countless facts, your presentation is so unique! Well done! P.S. Your DadJokes are the whipped cream on an ice cream sundae (a must!)
-
ozmark859Yay!I found your podcast, Steph. Excellent speaking voice keeps me wonderfully relaxed. I loved learning about the hamster 🐹
-
Profoxtail48Love the show and feedbackI really like how calm this show is. I think you have an amazing voice and do such a great job. Maybe to make the intros shorter just movie everything to the end. For example, if the show is dedicated to someone or you want to site your sources you can say something like, “And remember at the end of this film I will explain how and why I made this episode.
-
Olivia _the_animal_loverAmazing podcastYou’re voice is so calming and I would love it if you would do a episode about leatherback turtle. Love this podcast so much and keep up the good work! ( srry if there is already a turtle one I am to lazy to check)
-
EastofEdeNJThe podcast you needIn a sea of options devoted to crazy news and politics, Relax with Animal Facts is an island of calm. I love winding down to it - and I learn so many interesting things! Keep up the great work!
-
ratvet1Soothing for anxiety and insomniaI found this podcast as a suggestion when searching for podcasts for anxiety, and it is perfect! The host has a soothing voice with interesting information. I listen regularly at night and often don’t make it through an entire episode. I also listen while driving to help with that stress, so I do get to learn a lot about animals. I highly recommend listening! Thank you to the host, Mr. Wolf, for creating this amazing podcast.
-
KikiLaverneAdoreI adore this podcast. It is so soothing, so pleasant, and Stefan is a perfect host. I especially like it when he speaks slowly. I was disinterested or too stimulated by other relaxing/sleep pods. I wished there was a show exactly like this- to learn about animals in a comforting way that would help me wind down and lull me to sleep! So glad it exists and hope the episodes keep coming. Thanks, Stefan!
-
Kim Birder girlSoothing beyond Belief!I have abandoned all of my other of podcasts and am only listening to Stefan. And that is saying quite a bit, since I listen to a podcast every night to sleep. I love his subtle jokes, soothing voice, and facinating information regarding some animals that I have never heard of before. And he does it all without annoying loud commercials- what more could I ask for? Listening to him is like curling up by a warm fire with a piece of warm homemade buttered bread!
-
draw to your heart's contentThis podcast is amazingI love this podcast so much!Usually it takes me about 1-2hrs to fall asleep but when listening to this podcast I fall asleep very fast and I also like to listen to this while drawing because it helps me focus but still learn about something. Anyway keep going I love your podcast.
-
clangingnotionRelaxing and interesting!It’s very evident how much Stef cares about his audience and it gives the podcast a lovely heartwarming vibe! I also appreciate the lack of loud ads or any other jarring sounds as I’m usually trying to get to sleep while listening. Thank you!

Nova 🐺Why I Love This Podcast…My dream job is to become a zookeeper because I love being around all animals and learning about them. This podcast is helping me to know more about many different animals while drawing and doing crafts. Thank you for allowing me to learn more about the wild creatures on our planet, but most importantly, thanks for being amazing!
