Wild About Conservation is a podcast that aims to inspire, you, our listeners to learn a little bit more about the individual topics that make up the term conservation. How are we doing this? Hannah and Lexi, the pods hosts have been chatting with guests from all corners of conservation, from sharks, to cephalopods and seaweed to sponges. Season one is focused entirely on open ocean, we will be dropping new episodes each #WildWednesday. In this episode Lexi and Hannah introduce the new pod, themselves and reflect on how they got to where they are today (while also heading down some tangents, because that’s just their thing!).
