There are 1717 episodes in the Nature topic.

These are the latest episodes from the Nature topic added to soundcarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 10, for example, could confuse matters.

We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

288 Tidal estuary at night (sleep safe with plane at 23m)
^{00:30:04 | Episode: 293 | December 13th, 2025}

Tied to a railing, the Lento box records alone. It’s about two in the morning along the river bank east of Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex. Wind is blowing inland from the east, light, gusting to moderate. Sky dark, and heavy with cloud. Huge rainclouds are approaching, currently located out over the North Sea. When they arrive this whole area will be subjected to long periods of persistent, often squally rain, lasting well into the next day.

The Minecraft Experiment
^{00:24:32 | Season: 11 | Episode: 4 | December 12th, 2025}

How do people learn — and how can a video game help us find out? In this episode, we meet cognitive scientist Charley Wu, who built the ultimate science “mod” in Minecraft! Journey into a video game world of science to discover how and why Charley used one of the world’s most popular games to follow his curiosity about how humans learn. Featuring a “braintrust” of kid Minecraft experts to explain the game to Lindsay and Marshall, and a song inspired by The Minecraft Movie.

315: Kinkajou
^{00:56:21 | Episode: 315 | December 11th, 2025}

Ellen irons out the kinkajous. We discuss Thomas Jefferson’s giant moose sidequest, the dessert hypothesis, bad pets, who the real Frankenstein monster is, and so much more.

Why do we need sunscreen and how does it work?
^{0:15:16 | December 9th, 2025}

We all know it’s important to use sunscreen in the hot Australian sun, but what exactly is sunscreen? And how does it work? Nij and the kids are joined by dermatologist Professor Pablo Fernández-Peñas for a slippery, summery and sparkling journey.

314: Sarah Suta's Top 3 Dream Comebacks!
^{00:58:53 | Episode: 314 | December 4th, 2025}

Join Ellen & host of Bizarre Beasts Sarah Suta for a lineup of some animals she’d like to see get a second chance, whether they’re species we’ve already lost or ones that might still have a shot. We discuss foreign exchange student accents, the ecological impact of the invention of the telegraph, bird call sheet music, the scientific fumble of the century, bison where you least expect them, and so much more.

287 Dusk on Boggle Hole beach – North Yorkshire coast
^{00:45:07 | Episode: 292 | December 2nd, 2025}

The still luminous sky above the sheer rock cliffs was turning an even deeper shade of blue, as we stepped down onto the wet sand of the beach at Boggle Hole. For a moment we just had to stand. Take it all in. Wide stretches of undulating sand. Half submerged boulders like sleeping elephants. Towering rock faces so vertical and so angled that they catch and reflect every breaking wave, every calling bird, every clack of a dislodged stone, back into your ears, so you hear them for a second time.

What is snot and why do we have it?
^{0:13:03 | December 2nd, 2025}

It’s time to get nosy as we answer: What is snot? What are boogers? How is snot made and why do we have it? Nij and the kids join Associate Professor Kim Murphy on a slimy slip and slide through some giant nostrils.

The Science of Snot
^{00:20:44 | November 28th, 2025}

Why do we have snot? Do animals get stuffy noses, too? We delve into the world of thick secretions with the help of Dani Rabiaotti, zoologist and author of “Believe it or Snot: The Definitive Field Guide to Earth’s Slimy Creatures.” You’ll find out why we make so much mucus, and meet the slimiest animals on the planet. Plus, you’ll discover why scientists study slime, even though it’s super gross.
