  • A Different Kind of Podcast.  Resilience Gone Wild is one podcast that may, indeed, have something for everyone. Jessica Morgenthal’s well-researched and entertaining dives into the natural world, typically in the company of experts in their fields, reminds me of that favorite teacher who made science come alive. She focuses on the unique resilience mechanisms of species other than our own, providing examples that are extraordinary and often breathtaking. This focus, in and of itself, could be a three0credit course. The substantial icing on the cake, however, is that Jessica gently offers how we might learn, and what we might do – physically, psychologically, and spiritually, to attain a similar resilience in our own lives. Jessica’s respect for nature is exceeded only by her respect for human capability. You simply do not leave these podcasts without feeling a bit more informed, a bit more energized, a bit more hopeful for the world.

  • This is a breath of fresh air and not just because it’s about nature. It’s the kind of podcast that makes you pause, listen deeply, and remember why the wild matters. What I love most is the way it blends science and storytelling, turning every episode into an emotional journey rather than just a lecture. It’s innovative, heartfelt, and filled with moments that make you both think and feel. Listening feels like having a conversation with nature itself… sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, but always inspiring. It’s a reminder that resilience isn’t just a human trait, it’s woven into the forests, rivers and creatures we share this planet with. This podcast doesn’t just talk about nature; it helps you reconnect with it. I’m proud of what my friend is creating here, and believe it will inspire many to see the natural world with new eyes.
