There are 1745 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.

76: Olympic Torrent Salamander w/ Travis Kurtz!
^{00:47:27 | Episode: 76 | November 20th, 2020}

Join Ellen and special guest, herpetologist Travis Kurtz, for a review of Washington’s very own Olympic torrent salamander! In this episode, we go over what makes salamanders so charming, the mysteries that make this little one so special, and what it’s like to study them.

Ep 12: The Parachuting Yorkie Saves The Day!
^{00:20:37 | Season: 1 | Episode: 12 | November 18th, 2020}

Smoky the 4# dog hero of WW2, a boy who solved the puzzle of the missing Lemur, and a national weather service announcement about falling frozen iguanas!

The Clam
^{03:49 | Season: 6 | Episode: 1 | November 16th, 2020}

This little bivalve is snuggled up in some sand underwater. There might be a little irritant inside of it. What can it do?

Gulls at low tide along the River Thames
^{32:33 | Episode: 41 | November 14th, 2020}

Where the Thames path draws level with the iconic towers of Canary Wharf on the south side of the river at Rotherhithe, we climb up and over the tide wall, then descend steep slippery wooden steps down onto an empty beach to find a place, to put the microphones. The tide is going out. Lazy waves lap and wash over the wet claggy mud. Flocks of squawking gulls scavenge along the shoreline. The air is humming with a city rumble. A vast panoramic vibration, silky, wide, like hearing the sky in sound. This area is a beating heart of global business, yet from this beach it’s an astonishingly peaceful, even tranquil place. We are mid-way through another lockdown. A lone siren wavers along a distant road. Flagpoles rattle in a gentle breeze. A floating landing stage nearby rises and falls on the swell. Each time it knocks against its moorings in deep reverberant cluncks. It swings to and fro, like a slow pendulum. A tug boat gradually approaches from the west, then passes, ploughing its way east on the out-going tide. It’s v-shaped bow wave rolls heavily towards the banks, then breaks past the microphones in surges of white wash. The gulls bob and leap.

What’s Inside of an Atom?
^{00:16:33 | November 13th, 2020}

What are protons, neutrons, and electrons made out of? That’s what listener Xander wants to know. Physics expert Aatish Bhatia takes us on a journey into the atom, and explains how scientists discover things that are too small to see. You’ll find out how Albert Einstein helped prove the existence of atoms, and why physicists smash particles like piñatas in massive tunnels.

Ep 11: Why Goats Want To Drink Your Pee
^{00:21:41 | Season: 1 | Episode: 11 | November 11th, 2020}

Welcome to Bewilderbeasts! Today, we’re going to talk about the sloooooooooooowest two minutes in sports, why goats got banned from a national park, and how lobsters pee out of their faces.

Low tide on the Thames Estuary at Benfleet creek (no loud noises and best with headphones)
^{33:55 | Episode: 40 | November 9th, 2020}

Bonus episode to mark 10,000 Radio Lento downloads. This is a shorter but no-loud-noise version of episode 29 ‘Trains planes and estuary birds’. Now in high definition sound, this an opportunity to hear the evocative sounds of the Thames Estuary at low tide, without the noisy aircraft which was included in the original episode. Since starting the podcast, we’ve covered 142 miles on foot with our children and the microphone gear, listening out for peaceful places to record. We don’t have a car, so travel out of the city where we live on public transport. Trains can often be heard in our recordings, as they can in this one. It’s a cloudy late August afternoon on the banks of the Thames Estuary near Benfleet in Essex. Wild gusts of wind race in over the water. Birds swoop and swirl over the exposed mudflats, hunting for food. Redshanks, gulls, little egrets, oyster catchers, curlew, avocet, crows. When the wind drops, the newly exposed mud and silt can be heard bubbling and popping in the drying air.

Jackdaws and flooded winterbournes – watery emptiness
^{55:32 | Episode: 39 | November 7th, 2020}

On the edge of the Bayford Pinetum in rural Hertfordshire, in view of the surrounding farmland, there’s a young birch tree, growing in a secluded hollow. In early September the foliage here was humming with late season bees, feeding on ivy. Now in late October, the land is rain sodden and the dell is flooded waist deep. Rooks caw and kaah, from high in the treetops. The air is alive with the watery sibilances of rushing winterbournes. Flocks of jackdaws tchack tchack over the claggy brown fields, ploughed over since our last visit. The occasional train slides smoothly through the forest, on the line that links Hertford North with London. Propeller planes hum over on their weekend flights. Jets pass, muffled in the cloud. High leaves rustle gently in the cool autumn breezes. They haven’t got long to fall.
