HeadStuff Network announces new nature podcast The Seán Chorus

HeadStuff Podcasts is delighted to announce that The Seán Chorus, a brand-new weekly podcast hosted by Cork-born ornithologist and wildlife sound recordist Seán Ronayne, is joining the network.

Following a five-year mission to record every bird species in Ireland, Ronayne has built an extraordinary archive of over 40,000 audio files. From farting seals to vibrating leafhoppers—and a vast array of birdsong—if it exists in the wild and makes a sound, Ronayne has captured it.

The Seán Chorus translates these recordings into immersive audio adventures. Designed as a sanctuary of calm from modern life, the podcast blends unscripted field audio, studio reflections, and warm conversations with fellow nature lovers.

“I’m beyond ecstatic to bring this podcast into the world. Over the last few years, I’ve amassed tens of thousands of sound recordings, each carrying its own unique story, curiosity, and learning. Weaving these into a narrative format is a pure passion project. To have a platform to share the very thing that makes my world spin is an immeasurable pleasure.” —Seán Ronayne, Host of The Seán Chorus

“Bringing this show to life has been an absolute joy. Seán’s dedication to nature is incredibly inspiring and infectious, yet soothing and meditative—something we need a lot more of today. I hope this show inspires listeners to step outside and reconnect with the natural world around them.” —Hilary Barry, Network Coordinator at HeadStuff Podcasts

Episode one of The Seán Chorus launches on Thursday, August 27th, on HeadStuff Podcasts and all major streaming platforms, with new episodes releasing weekly.
