WILD WORLD SEASON 2 HAS BEGUN!
Wild World with Scott Solomon is a podcast that explores the natural wonders of our planet through the voices of the people who explore, study, and protect them. Each episode features a new location, from the forests of Madagascar to the underwater world beneath the Galapagos Islands and the icy shores of Antarctica. Hosted by a renowned field biologist and science communicator, you’ll hear directly from the people on the ground (or in the water) to understand what drives them to work in such remote, and often dangerous, locations. Featuring diverse voices, guests share their stories of adventure and discovery, from epic triumphs to dismal failures. Experience the wildest places on Earth and beyond and come away with a new sense of wonder and awe about the natural world and the people who help us understand it.
