    S2E1: Rivers in the UK: Let's Get Wet!

    One of, if not the most, tranquil places many of us can imagine being is on the bank of a river. The sound of the water moving & the visual of the ripples or crashing of water speeding past. They ground us & are essential to life so we must be looking after them in the UK right?.......RIGHT?
    For episode 1 of season 2 we are looking at the state of rivers in the UK. From how insects can be important indicators for determining river health, to the hard hitting truth about what we are dumping in these magnificent habitats.
    Guest appearances from Emma Brisdion (River Trust), Rebecca Lewis (Bug Life) & Craig MacAdam (Bug Life).

    We are diving back into the unspoken world of human wildlife conflict. One of the very things that is the greatest threat to wildlife & human life. This time we are focusing on India.

    Bonus Episode: A lot-(ment) of nonsense with Emma Brisdion

    What kind of podcasters would we be if we didn't treat you to a bonus episode every now & then. 
    This bonus episode is quite simple a lovely chat between two friends. Emma Brisdion, who has featured on Into The Wild before, had her own podcast (For What It's Earth) & is a superb science communicator, invited me to her neck of the woods, Bath, to visit her allotment & talk about the importance of these kinds of spaces for people & their connection to food.
