    The Wild
    I only listen to podcasts when they coincidentally come on NPR when I’m in the car. The past few months The Wild has come on and it just pulls me in and I can’t get out of my car til it’s done! So good! I’m 73. Time to start purposefully listening to podcasts on my phone/iPad, starting with The Wild (& The Hidden Brain)

    Wonderful Show
    I listen to a lot of news analysis and true crime podcasts, this one is a breath of fresh air and hope for the persistence of our wild world. The sound production is fantastic, and I could listen to the host narrate anything. I really love the on-location work. Please keep it coming!!

    Amazing journeys
    Chris Morgan tells these stories in such rich and surprising ways. I love his curiosity and enthusiasm. The Death Valley episode on the pupfish was thrilling, learning about those watery caverns and the amazing life down in them.

  • Secka101
    My all time favorite podcast
    Of course I’ve been sucked into my share of true crime and investigative reporting… but this show I listen to over and over again. I’ve heard every episode about 5 or 6 times. I live in the PNW and when Chris talks about Washington, Oregon, or the mountains I go back 15 years or so and think about all the hiking I did all over these states when it was just me and my dog… now I have two dogs a husband and two kids (7 &3) and we hike all over still but it’s a little more gentle these days . Anyway keep up the good work I love the stories.
  • Tstaed
    Such a great podcast
    Lovely stories that weave together nature, people and experiences. I just love listening to it. I hope it never goes away.
  • you crossed the line
    Fascinating podcast
    This is such an interesting podcast. I love animals & oddly enough, having had several encounters with wild animals in my life, all have been peaceful and respectful on both parts. Most often I was young and too ignorant to know to be afraid and I personally believe the lack of fear and God’s grace saved my life. I even had an owl fly right beside me in a tight spot where his wings clipped my neck and we both kept going without aggression or defensive behavior. On another outing, it was pitch dark and I did not see the Black Bear. I can only assume it didn’t see me either, as we physically brushed right by each other and we each just kept walking. An elk stood five feet behind me without me knowing it was there until I turned around and I found myself once surrounded by about 40 Big Horned Sheep. It was as if they escorted me across the meadow. I just talked to them as we walked. Buffalo, wolf, mountain lions, bobcats. God looked out for me. Each encounter was unexpected and I was so grateful to have experienced them but never would I have pursued them. God was merciful to me. This podcast would have told me what to do but most were long before anyone had heard of a podcast or even had home computers. Just a blessing in nature. I love the respect yet common sense taught about close encounters with wild animals in this podcast. I give it five stars and hope many will listen and learn from this intuitive and wise man.

    My Favorite Nature Podcast!
    As a Naturalist/Educator for 30 years, I always enjoy listening to other naturalists express their views on the natural world. This is my absolute favorite nature podcast to listen to. I love how it encourages others to explore nature and how it takes me to new and familiar places and gives me another view of these places. I also enjoy the conservation side of many of the episodes. Thank you so much for producing The Wild!
  • I dream J
    Sea Lions
    The encouragement to stop and listen to the story about sea lions, putting yourself in a place of a sea lion. It’s a stroke of genius. It really helped to engage my thinking ability about the passage through the sea and rivers. Also the plight of the chinook and the Native Indians with the dam. Looking forward to more stories in this genre!
  • Dodgergrl1
    So informative!
    This is, by far, the best podcast on wild animals I have ever come across. It is so good, it is the only podcast of the dozens I listen to where I have been inspired to become a patreon member. It always leaves me me thirsting for more. Chris delivers everything. Not just the sight but the sounds of the animals and their surroundings. You can feel his love for the subject manner and it is inspiring. Highly recommend, you will not be sorry!

    Best in its Category
    This podcast is in my top 2 and definitely the best nature podcast I’ve listened to. Chris is a fantastic hosts, the stories are amazing and inspiring, and production is top notch (writing, recording, natural and musical soundtrack). I found it late in the most recent season but have been thoroughly enjoying binging all of the older episodes. Please keep going!
  • JessdaMes
    Favorite podcast!
    Chris Morgan is so knowledgeable I love listening to his adventures. I learn so much!
  • prinetucey
    I’m an artist who observes and paints wildlife
    It was an older podcast but after listening to Dr Rae Wynn I had an epiphany about my art. I’m so passionate about our world of wildlife and the peril they are in if I can make a difference with my art I would be all in for that! Can I send her some samples and maybe she could tell me where to start showing it where it would make a difference!!
  • Oceanwall
    Very inspiring podcast
    I love this podcast. Would love to hear an episode on the conservation work being done for American Red Wolves or Mexican Wolves! Check out the Endangered Wolf Center, would be a great place to help with an episode!
  • Amidoingthisright?
    So good!
    Man this podcast is good. The animals and the human stories are so engaging. Chris is so authentic and he really makes me think. I love the YouTube channel too! It’s fun to see the stuff that I listened to earlier in the day.

    LOVE
    I’m absolutely loving this show. It’s captivating and I feel like I’ve found my people, people who absolutely love nature, from trees to animals. And reflect the importance of the natural world to us individually and the planet holistically.
  • Andrew bilezikian
    Amazing
    I have never finished a tv show in my life, yet here I am having listened to all episodes many twice. Amazing work and truly inspiring. Thank you Chris
  • SSSS_21
    Great show
    Informative, funny, and entertaining.
  • what can i say that is not alr
    Intro music too loud
    Intro music is much too loud. Have to turn way down, then you have rewind and have listen again to the same loud volume of the music.
  • Katsumi_Ocelot
    A treat for the ears with every episode!
    Chris and the whole production crew do such an amazing job with every episode! You’ll be taken on a captivating journey around the world to discover about the natural beauty of the earth and all the wonderful creatures that live in it! Chris is a bear guy at heart and hearing his passion for wildlife is such a serotonin boost! Every episode brings a new expert on everything from adorable foxes and lynxes to rattlesnakes or orangutans to Native Americans restoring rivers to their natural state. It’s an amazing journey and I’m here for every episode of it! Living vicariously through this podcast while I’m out in the desert, pining for my home in the Pacific Northwest!
  • Klingrid
    Part 1 of the Burmese Python Saga
    This is absolutely riveting! I live in Southern California and of course have encountered rattlesnakes on the trail, but being in the neighborhood of these pythons and actively engaging with them is bravery beyond measure! The closet experience to your adventure, Chris, is being present while th problem alligator control came to capture and haul in a live gator on my friend’s dock on Laje Minnehaha outside Orlando. He had flip flops on his feet, which I couldn’t believe when I saw him stroll over to the edge of the lake. We’ll, i he was a second-generation problem alligator collector. I appreciate your shows immensely! Thank you so much!

    Fresh Air for the Ears
    Chris Morgan brings us palpable enthusiasm, engagement and love for the amazing non-human BEINGS and THEIR environment in a way we can all share! And as a Pacific Northwesterner ensconced in an eastern city, and as a human being who’s feet are most often on pavement, a breath of all that is home. I listen to too many podcasts, this is my absolute favorite. Can I also say, I Love the theme music! Thank you Chris -et al!! Check out this wonderful(as in full of wonder) podcast and send support to Chris for his projects and this GREAT podcast!

    Man I love this podcast
    Seriously. It’s my favorite podcast on the internet. I’m so glad you are back with a new season.
  • ThisOneSillyMan
    Pine martens, who knew?
    Chris! Possibly your best episode yet?!?! Hard to say because they’re all good and I also really loved the recent one on Orcas. I was surprised towards the end of the episode to find out that they are only 3 pounds. Pretty fantastic that such a small creature can have such a big impact on their environment. Pretty fascinating connection between the two creatures; interesting and amazing how the predators success supports the success of its prey!

    Jacque Cousteau of land animals
    Beautiful detailed coverage of animals and the people researching and fighting to conserve them in our modern world. I enjoy listening to your voice and well chosen, poetic even, words you use in the telling. Reminds me of Cousteau. We must fight to keep our wild spaces and wild co-inhabitants of this earth. Please keep sharing. Thank you.
