  • ;) Your child
    Your show is fantastic!
    Thank you for what you do and for the wonderful informative Podcasts that you create with regularity. They are always about interesting topics involving the wildlife that one come across almost daily while living in Florida. It never ceases to amaze me how our wildlife continues to hold on in spite of all the obstacles we as Floridians put in their way (busy roads, concrete, altered terrains, another store chain). I’m glad someone is paying homage to our beautiful wildlife.

    Great Florida Animal Info
    I’ve lived in Florida all my life and learned so much listening to this podcast. I highly recommend it!
  • LauraRenner
    Yes!
    This is my new favorite podcast. Not only do I love it, but it is a wonderful homeschool science resource! Thank you so much!🍃
  • Bbtran7
    Informative and fun!
    I Love listening to this in the car with or without my young daughter. The episodes are personable and the information is easy to digest. Can hardly wait to catch up on season 1.
  • @LiaGator
    Thank you!
    We listened to the Gopher Tortoise episode for my son’s 5th grade report on Florida animals. We love tortoises and see them on the Lake Butler-Palatka Trail in Putnam County, and in rehabilitation at MOSH and Sea World. We learned a lot from your episode about the depth of their burrows and how many species rely on them! Keep up the good work in educating all of us on our keystone species! 🐢💚
  • Jonathan4567
    I love this
    I wish I had a class that taught me about our once beautiful state. Florida used to be full of wild animals and expanse firsts. Now it’s full of octgenarians, strip malls, and ugly suburbs. The hosts are intelligent and kind. I have learned a lot.
  • MrsHenne
    Must Listen!

    Fantastic
    This podcast is fantastic. It would be great if they were longer, maybe 30-45 minutes. Very knowledgeable.
  • Carol165
    Perfect to listen with your kids too!
    Fantastic content! They’re so knowledgeable and have a enticing way to share information. My 13 and 11 year olds enjoyed it very much as well. We are looking forward to more episodes.
  • MishelleKay
    Great podcast about Florida’s natural areas!
    Just finished listening to the storm water episode. I love how Lara and Shannon explain topics relevant to our beautiful natural areas in Florida in a fun and interesting way and their tips for what we can do to help keep them healthy! Can’t wait to listen to more episodes.
