Reviews From Listeners

As a zoology student, I love listening to this podcast as I fall asleep as it helps me unwind from my day while still helping me learn. This podcast is a great way to help you practice your jello imitation, I’m still waiting for my Oscar. My favorite episode so far is the Red Panda episode. I am also small and stout. I hope some day there is a Lemon Shark episode. They are my favorite kind of sharks and I remember seeing a news story about this specific lemon shark that liked to give hugs to a team of divers that were observing her. This is an easy 8 out of 5 podcast as it breaks the scale with each episode.

This podcast is one of my favorites! I love learning about animals, and Stef’s voice is very soothing. I usually fall asleep before the end of an episode, doing my Oscar-worthy impression of jello. I also really appreciate Stef’s sense of humor, and his genuine interest in the topic. I do miss the ums and the chamomile tea breaks, but I understand the changes. Thanks, Stef, for all of your hard work!

I hope you continue this forever! This was my first podcast I listened too. I don’t use this podcast to sleep but I listen to it when I get ready in the morning, I love animals and learning new things all while calming my mind during different parts of my day. Thank you for what you do. Looking forward to the day you hopefully do a Sandhill Crane ❤️

With all the world chaos and general life struggles, falling asleep is nearly impossible. This program helps me relax and reframe my thoughts, quiet my mind and helps me shut down so I can fall into a deep sleep. The animal facts are interesting and his soft and slow delivery is extremely soothing. I also love the classic dad joke at the end delivered like a dry, saltine cracker. The podcast is also wonderful for your commute home on those days when your life suddenly morphs into the show BEEF. Please add more relaxation exercise in the intro and help me get to jello faster. It would also be nice to have longer segments. My animal request would be an alligator or praying mantis. Thank you for this gift❤️🐊

I could not give a podcast a higher endorsement.

This podcast enlightens and amuses me.

I love this podcast I listen every night please try to do one on giant squid s if you haven’t already you should keep saying um it’s my favorite part.I loved learning about the cat keep making them

I love this show to relax to and learn something great about animals. Thanks !

I’ve listened to this show every night since the early days. Most episodes multiple times because I fall asleep part-way through. I do miss when Stef would comment on drinking camomile tea, but no matter how the podcast evolves, it never fails to be both informative and relaxing.

I found your podcast, Steph. Excellent speaking voice keeps me wonderfully relaxed. I loved learning about the hamster 🐹

I really like how calm this show is. I think you have an amazing voice and do such a great job. Maybe to make the intros shorter just movie everything to the end. For example, if the show is dedicated to someone or you want to site your sources you can say something like, “And remember at the end of this film I will explain how and why I made this episode.

You’re voice is so calming and I would love it if you would do a episode about leatherback turtle. Love this podcast so much and keep up the good work! ( srry if there is already a turtle one I am to lazy to check)

In a sea of options devoted to crazy news and politics, Relax with Animal Facts is an island of calm. I love winding down to it - and I learn so many interesting things! Keep up the great work!

I found this podcast as a suggestion when searching for podcasts for anxiety, and it is perfect! The host has a soothing voice with interesting information. I listen regularly at night and often don’t make it through an entire episode. I also listen while driving to help with that stress, so I do get to learn a lot about animals. I highly recommend listening! Thank you to the host, Mr. Wolf, for creating this amazing podcast.

I adore this podcast. It is so soothing, so pleasant, and Stefan is a perfect host. I especially like it when he speaks slowly. I was disinterested or too stimulated by other relaxing/sleep pods. I wished there was a show exactly like this- to learn about animals in a comforting way that would help me wind down and lull me to sleep! So glad it exists and hope the episodes keep coming. Thanks, Stefan!

I have abandoned all of my other of podcasts and am only listening to Stefan. And that is saying quite a bit, since I listen to a podcast every night to sleep. I love his subtle jokes, soothing voice, and facinating information regarding some animals that I have never heard of before. And he does it all without annoying loud commercials- what more could I ask for? Listening to him is like curling up by a warm fire with a piece of warm homemade buttered bread!

I love this podcast so much!Usually it takes me about 1-2hrs to fall asleep but when listening to this podcast I fall asleep very fast and I also like to listen to this while drawing because it helps me focus but still learn about something. Anyway keep going I love your podcast.

It’s very evident how much Stef cares about his audience and it gives the podcast a lovely heartwarming vibe! I also appreciate the lack of loud ads or any other jarring sounds as I’m usually trying to get to sleep while listening. Thank you!

My dream job is to become a zookeeper because I love being around all animals and learning about them. This podcast is helping me to know more about many different animals while drawing and doing crafts. Thank you for allowing me to learn more about the wild creatures on our planet, but most importantly, thanks for being amazing!

Thank you for telling me all about your animal facts. I like it.

Recently I have been under a lot of stress. Unable to turn my brain off but needing to relax, I found your podcast on a whim. It has been a godsend; not only has it helped me wind down in the evening, I also play an episode for my two boys, age 7 and 9, before bed as well. It has helped them also quiet their minds and fall asleep quickly. I love that you take the time to use synonyms of words they might not know; your vocabulary is extensive! We look forward to ending our nightly routine with your cool facts and soothing voice. Thank you for using your personal time to take us on interesting adventures.

FIVE POINT NINE NINE STARS! Love this great animal info and the host with his calm voice- ‘Been listening for over a 1/2 year. Then, what happened in this last episode? Similar to tooo many other podcasts, Stephen spoke fast, faster then ever, it was Not Calming, more importantly the words all ran together … can not be heard, we’re not enunciated! So many younger voices do this. Thank you going back to RELAXING with animal facts, on the future episodes. LOVE YOU🐾LATER OCT 30 Note:My apologies!!! I was unaware of the little, mostly hidden, and before unknown to me, little percentage options to CHANGE THE SPOKEN SPEED. You didn’t have 20 cups of coffee, and fall for the ones who think you talk slowly- You are perfect, and always have been!

My husband and I fall asleep to your podcast nightly. It’s so effective that we have to listen to each episode many times to retain any facts! Thank you for your great work!

Hi Stefan you are amazing and your show is truly the most calming thing I’ve ever listened to. My suggestion for an animal would definitely be silkie bantam chickens they are so awesome
