Wild Hearts, Wild Places: A Conversation with Dave Sidden - EP. 44
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we sit down with Dave Sidden, Executive Director of Wildlife Images and a lifelong advocate for all things wild. Dave shares his journey from filming wildlife with his father to running one of the most beloved rehabilitation and education centers in the Pacific Northwest.
We talk about his years at SeaWorld, his expeditions to Antarctica, and the challenges of raising kids to care about nature in a world glued to screens. Our son Roake’s bearded dragon Hank the Tank even makes a cameo, from a new home that might just be perfect.
This episode is full of heart, wild stories, and a reminder that the natural world has the power to change lives if we pay attention.
