Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ian Redmond - In Dian Fossey's Footsteps
Q: What was it like introducing David Attenborough to the gorillas, and what stories stood out from that collaboration?
He recalls Attenborough's generous storytelling presence, the BBC crew, and the behind-the-scenes dynamics of filming with gorillas, which helped push gorilla conservation into a broader public imagination.
Ian Redmond - In Dian Fossey's Footsteps
Q: Did you find when you were there that you were more of a student absorbing knowledge, or did you have input into the initial work?
He describes arriving as a research assistant who largely followed directions, but with Dian Fossey encouraging each person to focus on their own area, which later informed his own research directions.
Lucy Shepherd - A 21st Century Explorer
Q: How do you balance danger and authenticity in expeditions?
By filming with a small, trusted team, staying connected to local communities, and prioritizing real experiences over glossy, scripted drama.
Lucy Shepherd - A 21st Century Explorer
Q: What was the secret to convincing a skeptical commissioner to greenlight the project?
She leaned on passion, data from supporters, and a relentless, in-your-face pitching moment where she demonstrated the importance and viability of the project, ultimately winning a yes.
Lucy Shepherd - A 21st Century Explorer
Q: Tell me about the journey to making this a career and getting your first commissions.
Lucy describes starting with small, low-budget expeditions, discovering she could film and tell stories herself, and relentlessly pitching to commissioners until she secured a commission that allowed her to maintain creative control.
