Number 3: Mooney Goes Wild - Monday September 7th 2026
Derek Mooney and guests explore the natural world in all its forms.

Over the years he has investigated countless countryside curiosities that have left listeners scratching their heads!

The secretive, almost supernatural, reputation of the Snow Leopard, which lives high in the mountain ranges of Central and Southern Asia, has led to the species being dubbed The Ghost of the Mountains - which just so happens to be the title of a new book about these remarkable big cats by Dr. Kulbhushansingh (Kullu) Suryawanshi. He joins us on the line to tell us more about these mysterious animals and the harsh, hostile environments they are perfectly adapted to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
