About Episode #154

Whether you’re new to the show or a seasoned listener, you might have picked up that the vibe of the show is like a happy hour or coffee shop meet-up with a good friend who happens to really love nature.

Today, we’re taking the fun to a new level. 

I’m thrilled to welcome you to the debut episode of the show’s newest series ‘Nature Happy Hour.’ Joining me for these conversations is my great friend and brilliant conservation scientist, Dr. Charles van Rees, PhD.

Charles and I have spent countless hours in the field, which has awarded us with some visually stunning encounters. So, for our very first episode, we are kicking things off with a burst of color.

We go back and forth sharing a few of our favorite sightings with lots of stories in-between. Charles also goes into the science behind why animals like birds and insects are far more colorful than their mammalian counterparts.

And we want to hear from you! Share your favorite colorful encounters in nature, send us your burning questions, and let us know what topics you’d love us to cover in future episodes. You can connect with the show on all of the social media platforms @Rewildology.

So, grab your favorite drink (coffee, tea, whiskey, wine?), settle in, and join Charles and me as we explore the vibrant world of colors in nature.
