Reviews From Listeners

Interesting yet soothing podcast perfect for sleepless nights. I am so glad I found this and hope some others do too. Even my partner admitted hearing this puts him into a trance, ha!

The world and all of us in it are lucky to have Stefan Wolfe reminding us every week that we are surrounded by amazing and fascinating creatures.Everyone should listen.

I love this show host has nice voice I originally was looking for something about lynx and I found this I was looking for something not to complicated I love animals and am always happy to learn more about them I’m not sure if you have done this but I would love an axolotl episode ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I listen to your podcast every night. It is the best podcast it is the best and m favorite one in the world. One of my mom’s favorite animals is the fox, the mascot of your podcast. Love you. - Carl age 7

This podcast has it going on if you’re into nature and need to unwind!

Thought-provoking facts about animals delivered in a soothing way. I tend to drift off considering what else there is to learn about the featured animal.

His calming voice describes fascinating animals, allowing you to visualize their characteristics and habitats in great detail. Each episode is an exercise in mindfulness that has helped me quiet anxiety and conquer insomnia.

This podcast helps me sleep and it’s incredibly educational! I love Stef Wolf and I can’t wait to (maybe) get some merch! I love your podcast and hope you continue on with the podcast! 🦊🐻🌧️

Hi. I listened to this podcast a couple of weeks ago and don’t know why l stop listening. I love the smooth voice and the music of it. I just wish that we would get more information about the animals. The animals that you picked are amazing 🤩! This is one of the best calm animals podcast EVER!!! Thanks for this podcast and good luck on future episodes!

This podcast is top-notch and helped me through some tough times. I’m among the fans who support Stefan no matter what, wind rain or shine, with or without ads. I support his decision to roll back ads, but hope someday he meets a sponsor that appreciates him enough to have him read the ads in his own signature style — I think that alone could make the difference in this community’s tolerance of an ad-supported model. It disheartens me to hear only “really big podcasters” get to read their own ads. ‘Relax w/ Animal Facts’ is as big as they it gets as far as I’m concerned. Any company would be lucky to have Stefan read their adsin his sweet, dulcet tones. With or without ads I’m here for it. Go Stefan! Thank you for all that you do ❤️

Tonight I heard you make apology (s) for your first episode(s)Shame!I think I have listened to every episode. I did not go back and listen to the first one because you forbade it lolTruly I am 74 yo female and I love every single episode you do and I love your soundscapes too!Don’t change Steph

No ads, no loud noises just animal facts. Love from America 🫶🏾

I recommend this to everyone (especially animal lovers) because it’s surprisingly REALLY educational. I usually listen to 2 per night to catch up because I can’t get enough of it! 5/5 stars is way to low for you Steph (I would put 45 more if I could)!

Really enjoy listening to these, interesting listen while relaxing. Love putting a few episodes on before bed.

I’m so glad you decided not to have commercials. Your show is terrific. You are getting better and better. You’re becoming quite a comedian. I love your podcast. Can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve been listening to you since you started. Have you covered cicadas yet? If not they might be fun animals to discover.

What a great podcast- joined on patreon to say thank you! Tardigrade episode is my favorite but i enjoy every one.

Hey everyone…listen to this podcast. The thoughtfulness with which the host quietly and calmly describes the myriad of beautiful and fascinating wildlife that we share this planet is divine. The podcast sends me into the ethereal depths of the dream world alongside an animal partner with whom to slip away from the conscious state in peace. Don’t ever stop. If having a commercial or two means that you can continue this endeavor happier, healthier, and more fulfilled, then you would be doing all of us a disservice if you didn’t. Love and support to you from Portland, Oregon. -Steve

So sad. I loved this podcast but can’t listen anymore. I’m happily relaxed and sometimes asleep by the end of the podcast, but then am jolted awake by the loud commercial. It defeats the purpose of a relaxing podcast.

This podcast has definitely helped me with so many things, from feeding my interests to calming me down on a rough day. Mr. Wolfe’s voice is so soothing which allows listeners to calm down so much easier. There are so many episodes and so many animals to listen about! When I wake up in the middle of the night and hear episodes still playing, I fall asleep right away. I want to thank Mr. Wolfe because he has helped me so much and having a new episode posted instantly makes my day. I do have a request for an animal! I would love if you could do an episode on vaquitas. I don’t know much about them and I would love to learn it from this podcast. I do know they are endangered, and having an episode on the podcast can help bring awareness to the subject. Thank you Stefan for this wonderful podcast! ❤️

This is one of my all time favorite podcasts. It’s relaxing (as the name implies), informative, and also really funny! The host has the perfect voice and delivery to somehow both entertain and get you relaxed enough to drift off to a lovely sleep. I recommend this to absolutely everyone I know.

Like the other podcast I will be listening to your podcast and if your podcast doesn’t have what it takes I will have to unfollow your podcast.

One hyrax says to the other, “Would you like to go to the opera with me?”And the second one says, “Nah, I’m more of a rock hyrax, myself.”Your podcast is the best!Love,Pallid Bat

The title says it all, I adore this podcast. I listen to the episodes over and over again as I put them on before bed to fall asleep to. I’ve often got a lot on my mind and Stef’s reminder to become jello is just what I need to relax at the end of a long day. If I could request an animal it’d be the old English Mastiff. They were once dogs you would bring into battle but my EM only sawed logs on the couch when he was living. He recently passed this past September and I miss him most of all, but I also miss his larger than life personality which is a common trait with EMs.

I have already reviewed this podcast before but i still think my past review didn’t capture how much this podcast means to me. I have insomnia due to my adhd which means sleeping at a reasonable hour is pretty much unheard of for me, i always get so wrapped up in my thoughts and anxieties, that was until i found out about this podcast. It was a good day out, in a car ride, i had decided to listen to a podcast and looked up “relax with animal facts” low and behold i found exactly what j wanted. A zoology nerd with insomnia finding a podcast about relaxation and zoology? It sounded like a miracle. this podcast has become a part of my daily routine, every night I turn an episode on, put a sleep timer and hear those heavenly first few piano notes, steph wolfe’s voice was a bit strange at first but it truly grew on me, now it seems so calming to me. Hearing facts i never knew about animals is truly exciting, and since i get distracted easily it means i can replay these episodes over and over and over again to hear what i missed out on. My favorite episodes are the binturong and highland cow one. I apologize if this review was long but it’s only a margin of how much i love this podcast. If i may request would you mind reviewing the african crested rat? I heard about it recently and i would love to learn about it.
