Listening to this wonderful podcast while I’m driving is a slice of relaxation.

A fantastic partnership between CMarie’s incredible words and the sound recordings that bring them even more fully to life. I smiled, I laughed, I cried, but also found hope, truth, advocacy for ecology and Nature in her own diverse glory. I’m very much looking forward to the next season!

What a wonderful meditative podcast. In a world that is filled with too much, too combative, too loud and exhausting, this show is a balm for the heart and mind. Amazing work by all involved - thank you!

NPR Delicious Dish with Dusty Muffin .. much ? I think the intonation of the reader is hard to follow with all the ups and downs in her voice. Borderline comedy the narrative wasn’t so boring

I love this podcast. It has a way of commanding a Pause…a quiet moment in a busy mind. A thoughtful reflection comes from the monologue accompanying the peaceful sounds of the wilds. With a specific geographic location to transport you right there. It just makes my heart feel full. ❤️🏞️

I am recentered by the soothing sounds of Terra Firma. So soothing…

We all need to cultivate peace right now, this podcast is very helpful.

Recordings of my Western land and water scapes carry me away from pavement, sidewalks, over-tended or abandoned landscaping of town and into increasingly hard to find quiet natural spaces. CMarie’s essays and readings fully engage my imagination and surprise me with new and engaging ideas. Colorado Public Radio and the producers are on to something! Thanks to all who make this luminous experience possible.

Living in the city, I crave some nature and gentle, calming reflection. This is a nice blend of poetry and nature—of contemplation and activation.

CMarie Fuhrman illuminates the soundscape of each natural place she visits with her poetic and thought-provoking essays that reveal something unexpected and enjoyable. Listening to the sounds of nature and essay about them is a rare delight.

I so enjoy, listening to this podcast. It relaxes me and excites me at the same time. The sounds are just luscious. Vic PS: Season 2 is just wonderful too.

Beautiful, peaceful, thoughtful, meditative. Love it. Mirrors my own wonderings…

I love this podcast. It sounds like what going into the mountains feels like. Especially on those weeks when I am sick or stuck in the office, Terra Firma is like a lifeline to where I want to be.

Jacob's recordings are so gorgeous, and I love the sound of CMarie's voice. Her writing is so graceful.

Terra Firma is like a retreat into connection with the beauty of the wild as well as a nourishing of the inner world we cultivate through nature. So glad to have this podcast in my days.

The field recordings alone, without the narrated observations, would be more nourishing. Despite what she may say with her words, it feels like the narrator is impatient with the quiet beauty of the natural world, and is drawing attention to herself, making the podcast chatty, mundane, and small, instead of awe provoking. She could say more by saying less, by giving more of the stage to the grand, gentle sounds of her environment, which is well able to communicate with us directly.

This podcast is beautifully crafted and filled with happiness. It is an excellent way to decompress after a busy day. Cannot recommend enough.

Growing up in Idaho, so many of the places recorded and spoken about are in my blood. Nature, its sounds and seasons, are my spiritual home. The stories, poems, memories, and reflections she shares with sounds of water, wind, creatures, and more as the backdrop fill me up, get me through the day and night. I’m binge listening now, and the more I listen the more I crave. Thank you for this incredible show! ❤️

Calming podcast that touches on meditation through the choir of wild animals, powerful Mother Nature and reminds us we humans are part of this diverse natural world.

Downloaded an episode of this podcast to relax, thinking I’d be listening to sounds of nature but instead the episode started with the sound of helicopters? Felt like a practical joke

This podcast brings the magic and majesty of nature into my bedroom. I hope for more episodes! I love the ones on Idaho especially.

The combination of audio from the outdoors and poetic descriptions of nature and personal feelings make a lovely combination. You take me where I feel I belong.

I enjoy the blend of precise words and audio field recordings, sprinkled with philosophical questions. Thank you!

I’ve been listening to this on my work break for 2 weeks now. It is so lovely and atmospheric, it takes me out of the busy mindset. It allows me to breathe and remember to engage more deeply with nature. Eyes of Ancestors not only relaxed my nervous system but had such a powerful message, as an indigenous person I found myself choked up with tears. Beautiful work, will definitely recommend to anyone.

I like this podcast, as it has beautiful settings and sounds of nature, and a narrator with a distinct soothing voice. I especially enjoy it, as I am an older listener and cannot get out into nature as often as I would like. Episodes are short and handy for a break whenever I need one.

This podcast - short and sweet - is like a good night’s sleep. It revitalizes you and reminds you that there is joy waiting around the corner .

It brings me so much calm and peace especially while working! I’m very happy to have a second session! Thank you Terra Firma!

I love this podcast!! The clips of nature sounds and the stories conveyed are gorgeous and relaxing! Hope you do a season 2!! Edit: Yay, can’t wait for season 2! Welcome back!!

I’ve just discovered this program. A relaxing uplifting alternative in these times.

As most of my news and podcasts while informative can be stressful, this is a soothing escape that transports you to calming space. The background sounds, the calming voice gives me a chance to stop and breath. It is my moment of zen.

A very interesting podcast and so awesome to listen to the beautiful sounds of nature! Makes me anxious to get back there.

A peaceful retreat.

Love the peaceful background music while transporting the listener to beautiful national park. I can “see” what the writer is describing. Beautifully put.

Started listening to these before bed, lovely and relaxing and quick. Thanks Colorado public radio

I only recently found Terra Firma, and I’ve played the episodes repeatedly now—one for each day. The combination of Ms. Fuhrman’s voice and observations with the amazing sounds of our natural world are both calming and refreshing. These podcasts put me in a better mindset for the day ahead😁

Many of the episodes I have played repeatedly. Thank you to all that created these short gems. Jeannette

This is the best!!! Poetry in story. Words and sounds of self and nature. !!!! Visions enabled!!!

An inspiring and beautiful podcast to remind us how big the world is and how grand Mother Nature Is- and how important it is that we listen to her, on a variety of levels.

Love the soothing sounds including her voice

Like a balm for a weary soul. Absolutely love these. More please.

Beautiful sound and narration

I fell in love with the first episode. Instant calm and centering for peace. I love to have them on for my hour long commute. Furmans essays take me to great places of my past: Canada, Idaho. A longing is growing inside of me to return. I wish the essays/episodes were longer. I get so down when they begin to wrap up. I’m listening to my third go around. Season two?

I listened to episode 1 and just felt all the feels: relaxed because of the nature sounds, engaged bc the podcasters voice is like honey and easy to follow, relatable as I’m currently living in Colorado not far from RMNP, homesick as we have elk that roam the woods of my western NC home and their song makes me smile, and lastly I felt the pain you felt taking the Elk’s life. I feel like I can relate to this episode and it makes me even more excited to see what’s to come. You’ve got a lifer in me 💯

Listened while walking my dog along a river. Lovely addition for our walk.

This podcast brings me peace. Thank you.

Sincerely appreciate this effort , look forward to more shows- thank you

PLEASE

This show is lovely and quieting. It’s well mixed and thoughtful.

This is one of the only things that eases my mind on my long and exhausting commute through traffic every day.

I absolutely loved these episodes, so calming and refreshing. I hope they make more soon.
