I absolutely love your work Macken - with a behavioural ecology as well as an arts background, I massively appreciate the work it takes to produce a show that is this entertaining, revelatory, comprehensible grounded in cutting-edge science and imaginative to boot. I have been recommending to all of my students and friends.

I have only just found this podcast as I roamed Apple Podcasts. It’s like finding gold and am amazed that Macken was 25 ish when he started. This is my go to podcast, the information is thorough and Macken has a great voice to listen too. I personally feel that every species should have the same right to life as we demand for ourselves and you (Macken) leave me with a greater hope for the future. Thank you 😀
