A series of brief interviews with animals, offering them a chance to give us a perspective on their environment.

The Berkshire Pig
A perfect winter warmer, this one comes from the collection I made for The Lost Gardens of Heligan, called Voices from the Lost Gardens.
Jimmy Docherty really makes me laugh and he knows his stuff too - farmer, entomologist, television presenter and I would add comedian.
Visit Jimmy’s Farm and support the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.

The Short Snouted Seahorse
This interview comes from a collection called Voices from the Ocean.
It is such an important series as we really know so little about the ocean. It comes to us with thanks to Gallifrey Foundation and Mission Blue, finding experts from all over the world to give us their time and energy so that we can be entertained whilst being educated.
“With knowing, comes caring, and with caring there’s hope, that we can find an enduring place for ourselves within the natural systems that support us. But first, we have to know.” Dr Sylvia Earle
And with many thanks to Marine Biologist, Lucy Woodall of Nekton
How to respect and protect seahorses
Seahorses help protect seagrasses, seaweeds and coral reefs. They are important predators for bottom-dwelling organisms. But, they are often caught just to be sold as souvenir pets. Don’t buy seahorses. Don’t pollute the ocean with plastics and chemicals. Demand protection for seahorse habitats.

The House Spider
This is for Max, a Spider Ambassador, which we should all be really. Maybe once you've heard this fascinating House Spider, you may want to become one, it certainly changed my view of them.

Margaret Pitt
Love this podcast. Talking to the creatures as if they are our friends makes them so much more relatable-it’s light and fun but full of amazing facts!
It's back!
So pleased there are new episodes. This is a wonderful podcast, with short interviews with experts who speak as the species in question, telling us about its life and how we can help/ not hinder its conservation.
Great Listen
Great podcast, very entertaining and informative while also being small & sweet in its approach.
