I spend a lot of time driving and listening to podcasts. This is my favorite podcast. Alie is an incredibly charismatic host and gifted science communicator. Each episode is the coolest, weirdest, funniest and often most moving science lesson you could dream of. Good episodes to start with are Erethizonology aka Porcupines and Foraging Ecology aka Eating Wild Plants.

I follow this and she’s the best communicator, I enjoyed mostly the ones about sex and death (I know 😆) The people she brings in are also incredibly interesting. Extra kudos :)

Each episode covers a specific topic of study, and you hear from people who are absolutely IN LOVE with their specific field. There’s an episode on the study of squirrels, and it made me appreciate them so much more. Episodes are on Spotify and probably elsewhere.

A simple educational podcast where the host (Alie) asks a series of professionals on each episode about their practices/work/fields (hence -ologies).

Alie Ward interviews ”ologists” (or scientists/specialists) of every topic under the sun. Each guest on the show is so passionate about what they do and it’s a really fun way to learn a lot about super niche topics!!

Robin Wall Kimmerer is my hero. This book is so deeply nourishing and empowering. We need more wisdom like this in our lives. Once you finish this, read “The Serviceberry.”

I love birds. Bird Collective has rad bird merch designed by incredible artists. A percentage of sales supports bird conservation. Go watch and listen to some birds outside. They have so much to teach us. Also in case you are wondering, my favorite bird is the Veery.
