HumaNature tells stories about human experiences in the natural world, “blending adventure, reality, activism and thrilling storytelling.” —The Dyrt
“You could listen to any number of podcasts on climate change, but HumaNature from Wyoming Public Media provides a more thoughtful meditation on why our environment is sacred.” —Ashley Lusk, The Bello Collective
Wyoming is among America’s last wild places, and our proximity to nature informs the show’s outlook. Stories from around the world are grounded in the belief that humans are not separate from nature but inextricably a part of it.

Listen to our latest episode of HumaNature:
“These are playful, insightful, quirky, provocative, dark, funny, unexpected stories that leave listeners wondering whether we’ve learnedmore about ourselves or the natural world—and ultimately doubting whether this distinction is all that meaningful.” —Jeff Lockwood, University of Wyoming professor of Natural Sciences and Humanities
Visual artist Meg Thompson’s cover art (above) illustrates the show’s overarching themes: human against nature, nature against human, and harmony.
“Really incredible stories about humans in nature…one of the most moving podcast episodes I’ve ever heard.” —Between Two Earbuds
