My Life, Wildlife is a new podcast where you’ll meet the passionate, talented people who have dedicated their lives to caring for the wildlife and wild places of Alaska.
Tune in to hear how these scientists, conservationists, and adventurers spend their days and how they came to live and work in a place like no other. Through their stories, you’ll visit some of the most amazing places in the world – giant mountains, wild rivers, icy seas, and the stunning beauty of the high arctic – and you’ll meet extraordinary wildlife from birds to bears, fish to frogs to foxes, walruses to whales, and everything in between.
