Skomer Stories, Episode 2: Visitors and Volunteers
The second episode of Skomer’s mixed media Skomer Stories series is presented as a podcast as the team are currently off island. In this episode, I give a round-up of 2024 on the island and interview two of our previous long-term volunteers about the experiences on Skomer.
Navigating Now Podcast
Last year, I co-hosted two episodes of Navigating Now, a D of E funded podcast designed and co-led by young people. With youth voices leading the discussion, the podcast aimed to address key issues for young people. In this episode, I shared thoughts on environmental challenges facing young people, alongside guests including Chris Packham. Listen here.
In Conversation Podcast
During lockdown, I embarked on a podcasting project, speaking to other young naturalists from across the UK over Zoom. As we were all home-based during this time, we discussed the wildlife and habitats around our homes and towns that kept us going during these uncertain times, whilst also deep diving into a topic close to the heart of the podcast guest.
Equipment was limited and internet access poor, giving this recordings a “rough and ready” feel. However, I liked this about them – it stripped back any gloss and demonstrated genuine connections between young naturalists at a crucial time.
A few of these episodes are included below.
AI In Ecology
In this episode with ecologist Rosie Seager-Jones, we discuss AI in ecology and how Rosie used nature to cope with lockdown.
What Is Intelligence?
Here, zoologist Tom Land and I discuss intelligence – what is it? How did it evolve? And do we have any?
