Becca1256!This podcast saved my lifeThis past February, I felt no hope for the future, and was so very close to giving up on my life. This is when a friend told me about this podcast - to help me get through a lot of sleepless nights. your stories and jokes and facts, they truly saved my life. Very grateful for all the time and energy you dedicated to our animal podcast family, and am proud of you for making a difficult decision, even if it is the right one. I’ve written just one other podcast review in my life. You deserve all the love and support there is ❤️

Muna947377272Goodbye Stef 💔This podcast has been my favorite over the past few years. I could always count on learning and feeling better after an episode. Thank you for all of your hard work Stef. We will miss you, but we are grateful for all the episodes you have done and are leaving behind.

Mama_SparklesThe only way to fall asleepOur whole family loves this podcast! Our 9 yr old requests Stef every night for bedtime. If you’re having trouble sleeping, just follow the exertions of “being jello”. So much fun to listen to and informative!

The Epic Factorrant because stef deserves betterif you’re new to the show, please never forget the fact that the host is doing all the work ON HIS OWN, and mostly FOR FREE, excluding a small community of patreon supporters who recognize he deserves to be compensated for the work this show requires. and to everyone who left a bad review during the brief period he implemented ads, go ahead and consider yourself a theif. he deserves to be paid for his work but you think you’re so entitled that you should be allowed to consume it all for free? meanwhile his patreon was readily available as an alternative for only $1 a month. some patreon creators post sponsored content anyway, but stef was offering us a completely ad-free option!!! and you still refused to support the show at the expense of stef. i’m very sorry he has some ridiculous listeners out there, but he remained kind and receptive through it all. i’m upgrading my tier on patreon for sure

IntoHarborJust the bestThis is my go-to nighttime podcast. Both super interesting, and super relaxing. The host’s voice is THE most soothing thing you’ll hear today!

crispychickenwingsRelaxing and educatingI listen to this every day after working around the clock until midnight. Listening this has made falling asleep so much more relaxing and educational. Keep up the good work.

leary oneLove to listen to while getting ready for bedThis show is named perfectly because it is a show to relax to while learning cool facts about animals, and even insects (and extinct creatures) from time to time. The host is very serious about doing his best to make the show better and is wonderfully humble about accepting constructive criticism. You can tell that not only does he love learning about and sharing animal facts with his listeners but he actually cares about us too. He has a quirky personality that is comical and endearing and keeps me coming back for more episodes. He is also the only podcast owner/ host that I am aware of who has all levels of Patreon membership levels so people who really want to support him can actually do so still, even if they are completely on a tight budget, and yet still offers so many free episodes with NO ADS, whether you ever give him a dollar or not. That’s right! No Advertisements. He tried this for like a couple of days and totally listened to his podcast followers and immediately reverted back to no Ads. That’s how much he cared. So of course we rewarded him with lots of new Patreon memberships because he totally deserves it. He also has fun interactions with his listeners by asking random questions that we can choose to answer on Spotify or Instagram so it’s very unlikely I will ever actually FALL ASLEEP to his show. The one time I really tried to do that by getting into bed and listening he just happened to read a comment I made and that completely woke me up as I was just starting to nod off. That was funny. He also just cracks me up from time to time with his side comments he makes and when he tells a dad joke at the end. Seriously, you gotta give this podcast a try. It’s great for all ages. Take care.

luckylemonadeEducational and Relaxing!I’ve been listening to this show for a few years now and have to say it’s my most listened to podcast hands down. The soundtrack for each show is custom fit for the animal of the episode which makes it so much more immersive. The animals facts are well thought out and given casually and seamlessly—you’re not just being read a bullet list. It’s relaxing if you’re going to sleep, picnicking, or winding down, among others things. I recommend it to people in the real world all the time, so I can’t recommend it enough here!! Happy listening.

Sleepy in Minnesotait is SO relaxing!!!!!This show is so wonderful. Stef has covered so many animals. Each show is so well researched. Stef’s voice is perfectly chill. We always fall asleep while listening. (And my kid has had several dreams about jello because of the relaxing meditation at the beginning!)
-
Kathy chatterboxLove this podcast!This is my favorite podcast. I can't stop listening! It is funny, informative and extremely relaxing. Sometimes I never get to the end and will have to listen again and again to finally finish an episode. Been listening for years now and love every episode, all the way back to the beginning shows! Thanks!

Joegrapea567AMAZINGI absolutely love this podcast!! I’m a freshman college student and I’m majoring in zoology!!! Even though it’s super stressful I know every night I can lay down and listen to an animal who i hope to meet in the future. His voice is so slow and calming which sends me straight to sleep (note: so calm I fell asleep studying) I usually even slow it down to .75 speed and it’s even better!!! The dad jokes make me giggle every time even though sometimes they are painful. I love that this podcast aligns with my passion and I look forward to every new episode. I do wish the episodes were a little bit longer but honestly it doesn’t matter too much because I’m usually asleep within the first 10 minutes!

Ivory KittenWe love the showMy daughter listens to this show almost everyday. It helps her to fall asleep and she is always telling me the interesting things she learns about the animals.

Catherine wolf 🐺🐺🐺Love it!I love this podcast so much, and it helps me fall asleep when I’m stressed, or sick. I care very much about animals and the environment, and I am so happy to know that others do too! I love your work, and I hope that you continue, and are supported.❤️🦊

ET 505Is this a slowed down voice?I love animal facts, I love relaxing. But this is just creepy- is this voice fake or just slowed down? Not natural sounding at all.
-
Deckan lukeGreat for falling asleepThis is an outstanding podcast. I would recommend anyone with trouble falling asleep to listen to this. Incase you haven't already done an episode on the pink fairy penguin, I would love to listen.
-
Absala0819Amazing podcastI do not listen to podcasts regularly, but my friend told me about you for listening to before bed. I play meditations from Peleton for my daughter who just turned 5 and started adding your podcast into the mix. We go through all the animals and she chooses one. Then we listen. She passed out immediately and then I get to listen. I love telling people about your amazing voice and recommending your show. Thank you, keep them coming!
-
Funkybones456Really great show!!This show is really good, I like to listen to it when I get ready for bed I just wish the episodes were a tad bit longer, but I understand that can sometimes be out of Steph’s control due to the lack of information or specific animals overall amazing and my favorite podcast. I learned a lot too! 6.77/6

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

CarlylyAs advertisedThought-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.
-
harvard585Stefan Wolfe is the Bob Ross of the animal kingdom!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.

Prodigy math chefBest podcast ever!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! 🦊🐻🌧️

Lfive3814Great 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!

hrebeccal45Ads could work if HE read them!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 ❤️

SeeingvoicesLove your podcastTonight 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 lol Truly I am 74 yo female and I love every single episode you do and I love your soundscapes too! Don’t change Steph
-
CheezyPotatoesI love this podcast!No ads, no loud noises just animal facts. Love from America 🫶🏾
-
shfthdybdWhy is this so good?!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)!
-
AbbyAudioVery Relaxing ListenReally enjoy listening to these, interesting listen while relaxing. Love putting a few episodes on before bed.
-
fzffyGreat podcastI’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.

Reviewer1008492)2&4@5"1I Relax to this podcast almost every night!What a great podcast- joined on patreon to say thank you! Tardigrade episode is my favorite but i enjoy every one.

Steve TriMetI love Relax With Animal Facts & its host is brilliant!!!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

grasecksenI hate the ads.I debated about how many stars to give the podcast. Before the ads were added I would have given 5 stars without question, but the ads are truly awful-loud, chirpy, upbeat, jarring. Certainly not relaxing. I understand the need for monetizing the show, so I have switched to listening through Patreon which is ad free. If not for that option (at a small subscription cost) I would have to abandon this podcast which would be a shame as it is otherwise perfect for winding down to sleep and for returning to sleep after the 2 AM wake ups.

texaslinda90Ads wake me upSo 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.
