#145 Behind The Lens: Max Lowe May 21, 2020

Show notes

Joined this episode by the extraordinarily talented film director and photographer Max Lowe, we start by discussing his current film project: a documentary of his families story in a way never exposed before. Then, we take a behind the scenes dive into some of his recent fine art prints on the Modern Huntsman website. From polar bears to bison, the highest mountain on earth to the most southerly landmass on the planet, it's an audio expedition around the world.

#144 Conor Knighton: National Parks, John Muir, bison, Alaska & finding yourself May 14, 2020

Show notes

I am joined by Conor Knighton, who has just released his book Leave Only Footprints, chronicling his journey of discovery through the National Parks of North American. After learning about his background in TV, we dig into the origins of the National Parks, starting with John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt, and go onto discuss bison, hunting caribou, the rare pupfish, the recovery of the channel island fox populations and speculate as to why people move to Alaska. It is a story of self-discovery as much as it is about the experiences. If you are even remotely interested in the outdoors, this is an interview not to miss.

#142 Professor Adam Hart: The Trophy Hunting question. Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

This week we go trophy hunting with a scientist. Well, not really, but we certainly dig into the complex nature of conservation, and discuss the realities implementing mechanisms for environmental protection in Africa, and discuss if trophy hunting can play a role in this. What are the alternatives and what does the science tell us?

#140 The great lead debate: lead ammunition, toxicity, birds of prey, shooting community Apr 16, 2020

Show notes

Pulling in interviews with multiple guests, I dig into the great lead debate. Some weeks back the UK shooting organisations announced a planned phase-out of lead ammo for shotguns within the next five years. The backlash was swift, but what is the truth and what does the science say? I chat with avian vet Tom Dutton, falconer Roy Lupton, Vintage gun specialist Diggory Haddoke, Danish hunter David CP, Dan Reynolds from the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, and hear from Professor Debbie Pain from Cambridge University, to provide a comprehensive view on the subject.

#136 Science Shorts: Sea otters return. Western science meets indigenous knowledge. Mar 26, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to ITW shorts, the first in a new series of short shows, diving into the world of wildlife science and conservation. We are escaping today, in our minds at least, to the coast of British Columbia, to the archipelago of Haida Gwaii. I pick up a story with Dr Jason Goldman, looking at the re-introduction of expatriated wild sea-otters, and the implications of their return on local communities and the eco-system.
