Rossifari Podcast – Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

The Rossifari Podcast brings my love of zoos, aquariums, rescues, and rehab facilities to you! Each episode features an interview with someone who works at one of these facilities. We talk about different species, individual animals, conservation efforts, nutrition…all kinds of stuff. This is a podcast suitable for all ages, but we will discuss topics like mating behaviors and euthanasia. If you’re a fan of zoos, or have ever wondered what exactly a zookeeper does, how aquariums manage to keep all that water so clean, or just want to hear a bunch of amazing stories about incredible animals, and the people that take care of them, this is the podcast for you! Check us out online at www.rossifari.com and on all social media platforms @rossifari. Support the show at patreon.com/rossifari. Check out the merch at rossifari.redbubble.com.

Goat Diplomacy with Hassan Bayyan of the Maryland Zoo Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Today, the Safari heads to Baltimore, MD to visit the Maryland Zoo! The Maryland Zoo was the first zoo I fell in love with as a child, so it is extra special to have it on the podcast! I sit down with Hassan Bayyan, the manager of the Barnyard section of the zoo, to talk goats, pigs, and more...but we go way beyond that. Hassan has taken a really unique path to zookeeping, and his story is an inspirational one. To go along with that, Hassan also has one of the best outlooks you'll hear on this podcast, or anywhere.
