Very high quality production that makes listening a pleasure. Doug is a great host who brings in other experts to liven the history, politics, and culture of special and controversial trees. I especially loved the recent episode about “the tree that owns itself.”

ChatGPT I'm totally in love with this podcast! The quality of sound and production is top-notch, making each episode a joy to listen to. It's like they've found the perfect mix of history and trees, two of my favorite topics, and brought them to life in the most engaging way. It's just awesome how they manage to weave these elements together so seamlessly!

I love trees and love giving tours about them at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, so listening to the history of these old trees is wonderful, engaging and relaxing.

Just a fellow arborist who is really enjoying your show. I really appreciated the story of 9/11 from an arborists perspective. Thank you very much. You are adding more to this world than you know!

I just listened to Doug Still’s podcast about the Autograph Tree. I loved it! First of all, Doug has such a warm, inviting voice; second, the topic contains other topics within it, so I learned about Lady Gregory, the “owner” of the tree, her friendship with the great poet, Yeats, and other artists, a bit about Irish history, info about the park, its landscape and trees, and the role of women in that era. And it is all developed and presented in a fascinating way. Any listener to Doug’s podcasts will be treated to music, interviews, history, and his overall love of trees. I highly recommend subscribing to this wonderful podcast.

I loved the bonsai episode: great combo of history and horticulture. Good production value and insightful host.

Doug Still is a tree care professional with many years of experience. Doug is also an historian, a dedicated sleuth, and a wonderful storyteller. By combining these skills he weaves some very interesting stories. It’s almost like hearing them told to you at night while sitting by a campfire. His stories are a little bit like eating peanuts - you can’t stop with just one!

Terrific!

Host Doug Still brings formidable experience in the fields of arborculture and urban forestry to this creative and reportorial endeavor that we eagerly anticipate in our household. The production value is high, the guests are phenomenal, and Doug is a natural podcast talent with a gorgeous voice and a comforting warmth. The subject matter is a dream; learning about the history of and arboricultural considerations behind these grand trees, along with getting to know the people who cherish them, makes for a dreamy listening experience.

I have always been attracted to trees, with very early memories of sitting on roots and touching bark. This podcast offers so much information about different types of trees, historical trees, and the general value of and importance of trees. The host has a lovely, sonorous voice that reflects the peacefulness and wisdom that spending time amongst trees will bring.

This podcast provides in-depth and really fascinating history, tied to and revolving around these amazing ancient living connectors to the past, but with warmth and humor and humanity. The narrator, Doug Still, is so clearly well-versed in the natural science of trees as well as the historical context of their existence, but what is especially wonderful is the way he brings the listener along on his journey of discovery. You hear his own wonder and engagement - this is not a lecture-cast by any stretch. I can’t wait for more installments!!
