Description
A wildlife podcast set on not taking itself too seriously. I get a bit too drunk, and a bit too passionate about my favourite subject: wildlife and the environment.

"You have to stay positive, or else no one is going to listen to you". A wonderfully insightful chat with debut author, Dana Rodney, as she sits down with us to chat about her new novel, "The Last Polar Bear".
Zzzzz ...
Josh and Katya tie up loose ends from 2021 ... and 2020 ... and leave the episode with more questions than answers. Katya mispronounces "heron", and we discuss the worst snacks to eat while podcasting. It was fun!
This episode we dive into what it means for life to be eternal, how the search for immortality alienates us from the natural world, and lobsters.
Lambskin Condoms. Solar Powered Vibrators. Marrying the Earth. What more could you ask for in a podcast episode?!
My oh my, a bit hard to summarise this episode! Katya sat down with Frank to discuss all things the human body, and it's relationship with nature and the environment. Movement, evolution, environmentalism as healthcare ... and so, so much more. Enjoy!
Invasive species. What are they? Why are they invasive? Are they always bad? Join us as we discuss.
"As climate change shifts our planet towards an uncertain future, a movement of unlikely heroes are building a blueprint for a better world. It’s a world where clean power grows wealth for local communities, resources regenerate themselves, city planning is driven by the people, and healthy soil is our greatest asset" - Bright Green Future This week we sat down with author Trevor Cohen, co-author of Bright Green Future. He shares his stories of meeting the unlikely heroes that are working to...
This week Katya sits down with conservationist and story creator, Alan J Hesse. Alan identified his love for animals at a young age, but it wasn't until later that he combined his love for sketching cartoons and conservation into publication of graphic novels. We chat about the best way to reach an audience about the climate crisis, the process of creating a graphic novel, and the importance of combining science and art!
WELCOME BACK! This week we're looking at how cinema influences our understanding of conservation issues and wildlife. Is it good? Bad? Do filmmakers have a responsibility to remain factual when creating entertainment? Using "The Meg" as a case study, we talk about the vilifying of animals, "the Bambi Effect", and whether or not the Jason Statham is a good marine biologist.
Last episode we focused on how animals and nature affect our physical and mental wellbeing. This week, we're focusing on on how animals prevent illness (SOCIAL DISTANCING!) and infection in themselves, how they self medicate when they do get sick, and all the wonderful marvels of nature that heal us! It's fascinating and topical, so sit back, relax and enjoy!
Hello, and welcome back! This episode dissects trauma, mental and physical health, and how nature and animals can be beneficial to your overall wellbeing. Eco-therapy, animal therapy, hydrotherapy and good old fashioned walking!
This week we're back with an interview episode! Dr. Stephanie Schuttler joins us to talk about her research on forest elephants, conservation, her love for all animals, and what it means to be a wildlife biologist and what to expect. Her book "Getting A Job In Wildlife Biology: What It's Like And What You Need To Know" is available for purchase on her website!
The gang is back and better than ever! This week we continue on our Valentine's Day theme. Josh has Tom and Katya guess the animal based on the description of their sexual organ, PLUS: the anthropomorphism debate, and sex for pleasure in the animal kingdom!
Happy Valentine's! In this week's episode, Josh and Katya are joined again by Tom! The gang tries to answer the big questions: what is love? Can animals feel love and other emotions, and feel like humans do? Plus: the weirdest mating rituals and courtship, and sexual selection and its significance!
Join Katya this week as she speaks with fellow wildlife enthusiasts about Rewilding! Rewilding is the large scale conservation efforts aimed at protecting natural processes and wilderness areas, and reintroducing species into habitats. The general theme of this episode is the balance between humans and nature, and stepping back and letting nature do it's thing!
Monotremes are egg-laying mammals ... yup, you heard that right. They have many features that qualifies them as mammals ... but they also don't. They're a Zoologist's nightmare, which is why it's a perfect week to bring our Zoologist and friend on to the show, Ellie Higgs! Despite their complexity, Monotremes are incredibly cool. Listen to us talk about their day to day, why they have evolved to be this way, and more!
Our first episode of 2021! This episode began as a dive into animals using other animals as shelter, but quickly expands and deviates into a discussion on animal co-habitation, the importance of shelter, and why setts are called setts. Enjoy!
Goodbye 2020, hello 2021! Thanks everyone for a great year, despite all that's gone on! We hope you enjoy our end of year episode! Let's tie up all those loose ends!
DIGESTION SESSION! Excretion in all its forms and identities and its uses in the natural world, from marking territory to gossip! (Give us your cleverest poop pun here).
