Nature is my Jam
I love the sounds of nature. The dawn chorus, wind moving through the trees, coyotes calling in the dark. For me, those sounds bring calm, curiosity, and a real connection to the world around us.
Nature Is My Jam is a podcast of soundscapes recorded in the quiet corners of Northern Michigan and beyond. I'm Darrin, a field recordist. Each episode is a natural soundscape, shared as it was heard. It's a brief pause from the noise of everyday life and a reminder to listen more closely.
Subscribe, put on some headphones, and take a listen.
