About the show

Listen to the soothing sounds of nature directly from the microphones of Dr Ann Jones. 'That bird lady from the ABC' captures wildlife and wilderness in all its glory — bringing you soundscapes of the ocean, forests, rain and storms across Australia. If you need a podcast for white noise, meditation, or to finally get some sleep, this is just what the doctor ordered.
