All Creatures Podcast

Chris and Angie are a husband-and-wife team who clearly cannot stop thinking about animals, and their enthusiasm is infectious across 575 episodes of the All Creatures Podcast. The format mixes species-specific deep dives with interviews featuring conservation specialists from around the world, and the show updates weekly with impressive consistency. Each episode typically focuses on one animal or conservation topic. You might hear about the surprisingly complex social lives of prairie dogs one week and then get a conversation with a marine biologist tracking whale shark migrations the next. The hosts' chemistry is natural and unforced, and Angie brings her background in animal physiology (she holds a PhD from the University of Florida) to keep the science grounded. They're clearly passionate without being preachy, which is harder to pull off than it sounds when you're talking about mass extinction. One thing that sets this show apart is the commitment to putting money where their mouth is: the hosts dedicate at least 25% of revenue to organizations featured on the show. The 4.7 rating from over 500 reviews includes listeners who credit the podcast with inspiring career changes toward conservation and wildlife filmmaking. If you want a show that introduces you to the full breadth of the animal kingdom while also connecting you with the people working to protect it, All Creatures delivers week after week without running out of fascinating creatures to talk about.
