  • 1. Wine on my Narwhal

    Welcome to The Watering Hole! This podcast will explore different animal species each episode, from basic biology to threats they face and what people are doing about it. Not your typical educational podcast, hosts Ashley and Maggie will be under the influence for every episode. Because what great conversation (or conservation) didn't start after a little libation?

    On Episode 1, we kick off the podcast with two very unique animals: the narwhal and saiga.
