Nature Is My Jam
If you’re like me, you love the sounds of nature—the dawn chorus, the rustle of wind through trees, the call of coyotes in the dark. These sounds spark curiosity, calm, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
Welcome to Nature Is My Jam, a podcast that shares immersive soundscapes recorded in the quiet corners of Northern Michigan and beyond. I’m Darrin, a field recordist capturing the subtle and wild voices of nature by taking my gear to remote places. Each episode features a natural soundscape, along with a few thoughts on how and where it was recorded. It’s a brief pause from the noise of everyday life—and a reminder to listen more closely.
