In episode 8 of Orangutans in the field, the two podcast hosts, Merwe,  from Talking Orangutans, and Freddie, the host of Meet me in the field,  discuss why they have decided to have their own podcasts. They speculate  about their own, sometimes covert, sometimes all too overt reasons why  they and other people would want to host podcasts. They even reflect on the effect these decision sometimes have on their mental state.
