Today, the Safari steps away from animals to sit down with actress and all-around awesome human Hayley Holmes, who I became  a huge fan of in her portrayal of Drama Girl on Better Call Saul! BCS is my favorite show on television, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to spend time talking to Hayley about it! We talk about her career, her time on the show, and what the creative process is like on a TV show.  We talk about casting, improvising, and a lot of the small details of life behind the scenes on a shoot of a famous TV show.  Even though we spend a lot of time discussing Hayley's role on Saul, this is an episode that can be enjoyed even if you've never seen a second of the show.

You can find Hayley on Instagram @hayleysholmes

Today, the Safari celebrates the start of our third season in style, by bringing you my interview with Kristy Hayden, President of Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium! Krisy is an incredibly passionate person who I instantly hit it off with, and we have a great conversation about all things zoo, including her sharing a lot of what goes into taking animals on TV shows to educate the public that way! It's a wildly entertaining interview!

On today's Season 2 finale, I sit down with Wouter Stellaard, an animal behavior expert who spent much of his career as the Animal Training Programs Director at the Columbus Zoo before heading out to start his own company, Behavior 360! This is an episode that goes deep into a discussion of behavior and training, but also focuses on Wouter's goal to train the trainer.  There are few people I know who are more respected in their field than Wouter, and I am ridiculously excited to share this interview with you. Co-hosted by Dr. Zoë Vesley-Gross!

Today, the Safari heads back to our home away from home zoo, the Cincinnati Zoo!  We sit down with ambassador keeper Mark Muthersbaugh...but we also get some help from our dear friend Colleen Adams, who serves as co-host!  It's a wide-ranging conversation that gets really silly, but also goes really deep.  You'll hear about Rico the porcupine and other ambassador animals at the zoo, hear a little bit about Kris and Remus from Mark's time with that team, and also hear how a trip to Africa influenced Mark's take on animal enrichment!

Today, the Safari heads back to Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ to meet Genny and Button, the two hippos that live at the aquarium! We also hang out with their porcupine pal, Theo, and get to know some of their other ambassador animals.  And when I say we get to "meet" the hippos, I mean that quite literally, as you'll come behind the scenes with me to actually hang out with Genny and Button before they go on exhibit!
