Description

The Backyard Naturalists are back for Season 5! In this special anniversary episode, Debbie, Laurie, and Chris take a fun walk down memory lane to celebrate over four years, 200+ episodes, and more than 106,000 listens across all 50 U.S. states and 137 countries. From their very first kitchen table recording during COVID to becoming a Saturday morning routine for listeners around the world, the team reflects on the unexpected journey of the podcast.

Join us as we revisit listener-favorite moments, surprising wildlife facts, and unforgettable guests, from reptile expert Jay Bell and “the Q-tip Lady” Ruby Davis to conservationists, plant gurus, and even a fish biologist or two. The hosts also share behind-the-scenes stories, listener engagement highlights, and what’s ahead for Season 5. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the show, this episode is a celebration of curiosity, community, and the natural world we all share.
