Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens.
In episode 001, Elle chats with Ken about growing up in rural Canada, building a life-size recreation of a Sasquatch, and becoming a three time world champion taxidermist.
