Welcome to the Directory of Nature Podcasts
If it's about ecology, eco-tourism, living green, or nature than you'll find
it here. If you
would like your podcast featured here then please email me at: bill@rainforestinn.com
I originally thought this directory should be limited to indie podcasts; even
though wikipedia doesn't
show podcasts as one of the subcategories of "indie". But there
are some truly great nature
podcasts that are professionally produced (by PBS and by Nature magazine)
so I am
listing them.
There are other podcasts directories that cover hunting and fishing such
as this truly excellent
one http://www.theoutdoorradionetwork.com/
But I am a wind surfer/cross country skier/hiker outdoor
sports guy myself and I cringe when I see fossil fuels being burnt for recreation.
Doesn't everybody just love
snow mobiles and jet skis? I don't have any problem with hunting either --
if I were in the woods and
starving and there was nothing else to eat I would shoot something but after
trying the grubs first.
Note some of the replies below have already mentioned one of the benefits
this association
will have (we will be exchanging promos!). This page now comes up number 1
when doing
a search on google for "nature podcasts". Read some more about
environmental
podcasts.

(Yes, we shave). podcast feed and iTunes one click They talk about methods of construction that are "green" and other ways to make less on an impact on the environment.
Val replied (10/21/05):
Your idea sounds great. We'd love to do some cross promotion. But I have one stipulation - I get a screaming deal on a nights stay at your B and B! Looks fabulous. If Dori wants a deal - too bad! :)
Keep us posted on your progress. I'm sure that we can do something together.
Talk to you soon.

sounds great Bill.
I'd be interested in seeing something like this develop and I'd be interested in focusing more on the nature of our location and experiences too! Great idea. I've got a lot of things on the go, but this is worth spendinga bit of time on. keep me in the loop.

Laurie Darcey of http://www.perlgurl.org/podcast/ replied (10/13/05) as follows:
Hey Bill,
I would be interested. I am off to Yosemite for the weekend but I will check out your website early next week.
I have finished my second full length podcast on bears and it's about to be released, but I'd be happy to promote in the third episode (South Africa), which I hope will go out in the beginning/middle of November. Will you be making a promo like 30-60 seconds?
Best,
Laurie
Plus our podcast (Bill & Laurie) The Sounds of the Rainforest:
El Yunque Rainforest of Puerto Rico: A little podcast about the
rainforest in Puerto Rico (interviews with Puerto Rico parrot breeder
-- in the aviary with all those sounds, interpretive tour with a rent-a-ranger
in El Yunque -- interview with Dr. Lugo director of Int'l Institute of
Tropical Forestry, and next an interview with the local Sierra Club organizing
head -- about protecting the nearby Luquillo corridor, plus interview
with local birder and bird sounds etc.). We live in a bed & breakfasst
in the heart of the rainforest. Our books have termite holes from cover
to cover. Even CD's can't take the humidity and corrode. Laurie doesn't
like Puerto Rican boas in the kitchen (even though they are endagered).
