Excellent production quality, and a great diversity of topics to learn about! The host interviews a variety of zoo staff that include zookeepers that allow for an in-depth and personal view on certain types of animals, but you also get to listen to other staff like collection managers, hospital staff, educators, and infrastructure staff to learn a little about what it's like to run a zoo. I highly recommend this podcast for any age group, and is a great family podcast to listen to as well.

For an aspring zoo professional, this podcast has been invaluable. Being able to hear from a variety of different roles and how they work together is very interesting. I've worked at 4 different AZA facilities and it's interesting to hear that though they do many things similarly, there are nuances that make each unique. I recommend this podcast to anyone that enjoys visiting zoos, those that would like to work for a zoo, or even those that feel zoos are unethical. You will learn a lot about the inner workings and will hopefully gain a new perspective. I hope to someday visit your facility and maybe even join the team. Keep them coming!

Love this podcast. Makes your visit to the Maryland Zoo so much more interesting and fun!

Great stories and so interesting. I love learning about the animals and who cares for them.

This podcast is informative, fun and great listening for the whole family. Do yourselves a favor subscribe and listen. It is just the right length for commute to and from work or school. I love it.

Listened to three episodes of this podcast on a long car ride with my twelve year old son yesterday. Both of us (who are also huge fans of the zoo) were captivated. The podcasts were engaging, full of fascinating observations and facts, and gave us wonderful views of the behind the scenes goings on at the zoo. They only made us love the zoo and its animals and humans more. Thank you all so much for these podcasts -- they are a gift to all of us who are or might become part of the zoo's community.
