The top podcasts for animal lovers in 2022

From food to football, there is a podcast for almost everyone these days. The same applies to animal lovers, with a selection of animal-filled offerings winning over millions of people all around the world. Some podcasts offer dog training tips, while others might focus on raising awareness around a species that is sadly close to extinction.  

 

Of course, there are a variety of other animal-themed entertainment options out there, but podcasts are a convenient product for people to sample these days. They can be listened to during a morning commute to work or while relaxing in the evening and provide people with an alternative to playing animal-themed games, such as Playtech’s Buffalo Blitz slots, or from diving into one of the many wildlife documentaries that are released on BBC channels. Listening to podcasts is relaxing, they help to us keep updated on the latest news on a specific area of interest, and they can be highly entertaining along the way, with some podcasts featuring respected guests and funny personalities.

 

In terms of podcasts for animal lovers, the same applies. Some popular creations focus on ethics and animal care, while others might provide a comical dive into the animal kingdom. To help you decide what’s the best podcast for you, below is a look at some of the top podcasts for animal lovers in 2022.

 

Weird Animal Facts: Explicit

 

Kicking things off with a somewhat comical offering, Weird Animal Facts: Explicit educates its listeners on hilariously odd and somewhat disturbing facts about specific animals. Zookeeper Deidre does a remarkable job at hosting the podcast, offering listeners some funny insights into zoo life, perhaps around mating or behaviours. Be warned, though, it’s explicit throughout, and it certainly isn’t suitable for younger audiences.

Featuring pet owners and wildlife experts, The Animals at Home Network podcast covers everything. Listeners with pets can learn about reptiles, mammals, fish, birds, and a whole lot more. For many, The Animals at Home Network is one of the best animal-themed podcasts around, especially when it comes to gaining some useful information on the likes of breeding and conservation.

 

All Creatures Podcast

 

Offering one episode a week at the time of writing, All Creatures Podcast takes an informative dive into a specific species each week. An educational podcast, listeners can learn about a certain animal’s history, physiology, typical behaviours, mating strategies, and everything else in-between. The podcast also interviews a range of respected guests, with conservation and the protection of some of the planet’s most endangered animals being the main focus.
