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 n...

Sunset at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore - Gentle Waves on the Beach: A Different Perspective 18.08.2022 25:01
Send us Fan Mail Quick Note: I am on my way to Houston, Texas to help a friend pick up his new overlanding trailer . Our annual camping trip had to be postponed, so we used the time to make a road trip from Michigan to Texas. I’m taking my camera and a recorder, but I’m guessing that chances will be slim that I will have time to do any recording. Fingers crossed. Welcome to the 11th episode of the...

Evening Wetlands Recording at Muncie Lakes Pathway and North Country Scenic Trail Intersection 06.07.2022 26:00
Send us Fan Mail Northern Michigan suffers an embarrassment of riches with access to natural resources and trail systems. Where I live is no exception. Just a few miles from my house, the prolific North Country Scenic Trail intersects with a local trail called the Muncie Lakes Pathway . I like to call this area a “pick your own adventure” waiting to happen. Used year-round by locals AND visitors,...
Waves Crashing at Fisherman's Island State Park in Charlevoix, Michigan 29.06.2022 30:00
Send us Fan Mail This week I felt a desire to head further north than my home base of Traverse City to explore some areas that I have heard about but have never visited yet. I looked at the map and Charlevoix immediately spoke to me. I know Charlevoix well and my wife and I are always happy to visit, but all of our trips are almost boating related and centered in the downtown area. Today, I visite...
Is the Sound Glass Half Empty or Half Full? Dawn Recording in My Backyard.... 21.06.2022 26:25
Send us Fan Mail Being a person who absolutely loves the sound of nature, I can be a glass half empty or half full, depending on my location and conditions. This week, I think I find myself squarely in the middle of the age-old debate. My weekend recording plan went sideways from the beginning, so I was scrambling yesterday to come up with a recording to share this week. My wife and I spent a few...
Overnight Recording at Perch Lake 14.06.2022 1:08:20
Send us Fan Mail This is part of an overnight recording from the shore of Perch Lake in Traverse City, Michigan USA. The lake is on forest land owned by the State of Michigan and is very close to the VASA trail system. It is around 2.5 to 3 miles from the nearest paved road, but noise pollution is still present most of the time. This recording has minimal noise pollution as a result of combining t...
Early Pre-Dawn Recording of Wetlands Activity along the Muncie Lakes Pathway 07.06.2022 37:17
Send us Fan Mail This soundscape is part of a longer recording that ran overnight along the Muncie Lakes Pathway in Traverse City, Michigan USA on 5/25/2022 around 2:30 AM. In this recording, we are overlooking a wetlands area that looks like a cross between a vernal pool and a swamp. I would guess the area is 25 acres and has a mix of cedar, pine, hardwoods, and long grasses. A hiking trail runs...
