Was That a Nose Being Blown?
Trying to get into this sound compilation, but jumping over to a baby crying and a nose being blown wasn’t the peace I was hoping for

Advertisements
I love the podcasts, but as others have commented, the loud, frantic advertisements disturb the peace.

Great
Excellent sounds from around the world. Do think the ads could be quieter as it can disrupt the calm.

Genius
This podcast is truly a work of art…and like art you must spend time with it! Over time it literally opened up in amazing depth and gave me a sense of gratitude!

Interesting & soothing
I’m in the US and haven’t had accessibility issues. I’ve enjoyed hearing about these different places, love the nature sounds especially, and find it soothing/calming.

Access to episodes
Great podcast of little value since most of the episodes can’t be accessed.

Not accessible? Why? Fix?
I wonder why the episodes are no longer accessible? Can’t find out any information about why. Disappointed.

Unavailable?
Why can I not listen to any of these episodes?

Intrusive ads
Love the concept of the podcast so much, but the built in ads are intrusive, jarring, and yank you right out of any calm you managed to establish. They’re at a much louder volume than the podcast content. It really ruins the experience if you’re drifting off to sleep and suddenly a cheerful voice booms HEY SLEEPYHEAD! Like, way to absolutely ruin the mood and the entire point of the podcast. Sure, I get that ad revenue is important but surely there’s a better way?

Works fine for me!
Wonderful podcast! I am in the US, and I am not experiencing the "inaccessible" issue that other reviewers have mentioned. So, the BBC podcasters must have sorted that out!

Can’t access episodes
I like the podcast, but it stinks that nearly all of the episodes can’t be accessed. Kind of pointless to put out a show no one can listen to. 😕

Where are the episodes?
The concept if this podcast is great but the execution fails misearbly. I'm unsubscribing since nearly every episode I try to download is unavailable, even the current ones! (in the US)

Never available
Why? I would give negative stars if I could because this is so frustrating. I can’t listen to a podcast that isn’t available.

“unavailable”
Why have a podcast if the offerings are permanently “temporarily unavailable”?

Why?
Why are so many of these “temporarily unavailable”? Annoying, because the ones that are actually available are very enjoyable.

Would give it 5 stars but...
Episodes are unavailable (at least in the US). I listened to a few when the podcast was first made available and very much enjoyed them. Would love to listen to more and hope the author will address the issues with listeners outside the UK.

Most episodes are unavaible
At least in the US :( I would really appreciate being able to listen to them

Unavailable Episodes
Most eps aren’t available.

Quality but mostly unavailable
The few episodes I can access are great, but most of them give me "this episode is temporarily unavailable" every time I try to access them. This happens both with with iOS podcasts app and with 3rd party apps. May be a configuration issue on the BBC end? Maybe only is reliably available in the UK? Hope the publisher can fix this.

Trouble Downloading
Love the 3 episodes I CAN get, but often get an error message “episode temporarily unavailable.”

Perfect
This is such a wonderful podcast and such a welcome reprieve from the noise and cacophony of contemporary media. It’s no just sound landscaping, the gentle narratives are like having a quiet afternoon with familiar friends. Hugely beneficial

Slipping into a sonic bath.
Aural landscapes from spaces (urban, rural, and in-between) across the world. Usually the recorder gives some words in the beginning by way of introduction, explanation, and contextualization, and then lets the sounds unfold for themselves for the remainder of the episode.

Immersive and spacious
This podcast is a joy. It's exactly what I needed, without knowing it. The walks with Horatio Clare are my favorite. I only wish the episodes were longer. More programming like this please!

Pure bliss.
It’s like being on your very own desert island.
