The Naturalist Podcast is a rambling discussion of the world outside. Hosted by Sea McKeon (a biodiversity scientist and evolutionary ecologist) and Lev Frid (a ranger, wildlife photographer, and guide) the podcast covers topics of interest to modern naturalists. Discussions center on what is going on in the immediate surroundings in "Outside my door", Recent Natural History in the News, "Tropical flavors" when the opportunity presents, Natural History media reviews and the occasional guest appearance of other naturalists from around the world.

The Naturalist Podcast Episode 23: Islands, Continents, and Squirrels with David Hembry
In this episode, Sea and Lev get a chance to talk with David Hembry, an Evolutionary Ecologist who works on island insect-plant mutualisms, and has wandered extensively around the central Pacific islands. Between David’s islands and Lev about to travel to the Atlantic forests of Brazil, a comparison of island and continental faunas takes hold, as well as discussion of terrestriality in unexpected groups and lots of talk of squirrels.
David’s work can be found on his website here: https://davidhembry.wordpress.com
Lev is now working with Rockjumper Birding Tours: https://www.rockjumperbirding.com/about/bird-guides/lev-frid
And Sea is now the Special Initiatives Coordinator for the Natural History Section of the Ecological Society of America : https://esanaturalhistory.wordpress.com
