Ep 12: Bird Diversity in the Amazon

The rain forest....not the corporate giant. This episode barely scratches the surface, as its nearly impossible to discuss all birds in the region. If you're interested in about rainforests and birds that live there...just press play

Ep 08: Tiktok Famous

In this short episode, I talk about two instances in which Tiktok has raised awareness about wildlife issues. Disclaimer: this was recorded in 2021; so may contain outdated information. The main idea here is Tiktok has so much potential, if it is used correctly, for Wildlife Conservation. Who knows? I might make a sequel to this episode later..

Also side note: Critterfacts Radio, the station that these episodes were initially on, is mentioned a few times in this episode. This is not an endorsement, and the website may have been updated in the last 3 years.

Ep 06: Communication and Conservation: ft. Elizabeth Hogan
I really don't know what to put for this episode, as it goes from me talking about social media, to having an awkward conversation with my former writing professor about environmental writing. So if you want to hear my terrible social skills, and hear us go from Thoreau to Tiktok, then go right ahead and click that play button
