Best podcast on California plants, animals, and environment

This podcast is the best resource I’ve found for connecting with nature in California, while also being well edited, well paced, and easy to listen to. Michelle selects incredible experts to interview and does a great job balancing depth on a particular topic with accessibility. She also covers a huge diversity of topics: different regions and ecosystems, specific animals and plants, restoration and community topics, and even things like nature drawing. After listening to half the episodes, I still feel like I’m learning something new on each one and I’ve ended up with a ton of great books to read, places to visit, and a real sense of how to get involved in caring for the nature in my area.
