Cold-blooded Contributions, Nature 4 You

Tie & Scott Eipper

Welcome to the Cold Blooded Contributions podcast. We're your hosts, the Eipper's. If you love reptiles, reptile podcasts, or anything at all reptile, you're going to want to add this podcast to your repertoire.  We will be chatting with inspiring people in the hobby who have made a creative, positive impact. Whether it's artistically advancing us in the hobby with information, data, or husbandry. This podcast mainly focuses on the culture surrounding reptiles and amphibians but also includes other topics of interest including wildlife art and books. Love the podcast? Shout us a coffee and keep us fully caffeinated. ☕ Click the link and buy us a coffee!    buymeacoffee.com/Nature4You.   Every cup keeps us energised, motivated, and far less likely to nod off mid-podcast edit. When you buy us a coffee, you’re not just fuelling two humans  you’re fuelling more field research, more ecology deep dives, more stories from the bush straight to you, camera batteries and equipment, late-night writing and editing sessions,  updating our podcast gear and much more. We promise to put every “coffee” to good use — likely somewhere muddy, sun drenched, or knee-deep in fascinating creatures. Know that every coffee helps with all the slightly chaotic creativity that somehow turns into the content you enjoy.   Thanks for listening!

We can be found on Spreaker, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Amazon Music/Audible, Podchaser, Deezer, Podcast Addict and JioSaavn.
