Kindred

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Eriel Dernager, president of the organization Indigenous Climate Action, the only Indigenous led climate justice organisation in Canada. 
Eriel is from the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation located in Treaty 8 Territory, otherwise known as the Northern Alberta area, and currently resides in Treaty 6 territory also known as Edmonton, Canada. 
Deranger’s work focuses on Indigenous rights and building an intersectional dialogue between Indigenous rights, climate justice, and other social justice movements. Eriel is also building a global project adjacent to ICA called the Woven project. 
We wanted to speak with Eriel because we believe that climate justice and climate recovery can’t be achieved without the leadership of Native and Indigenous science, solutions, and experience. 
This was a powerful and beautiful conversation, one that will percolate for a very long time. 
Thanks so much for listening and please share this episode!
And we’ll see you all back for Season 10 in the Spring! 
Take of yourselves and lots of love!

In this week’s episode we are speaking with Dr. Carlo Siracusa, a professor of small animal behavior and welfare at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine.  Dr. Siracusa specializes in animal behavior, stress evaluation, and canine aggression. 
In a nutshell, Dr. Siracusa’s research focuses on canine and feline behavioral issues-why they develop, how humans influence those issues, and best approaches to working with dogs facing these challenges. There are many factors at play in context to behavioural issues, from environment and socialization to stress, trauma, and changes in health that can affect them physically and behaviorally.
In this episode we are focusing on dogs primarily because although so many of us have dogs we really don’t understand a lot of what dogs experience living in our human worlds. Often we think in terms of our love and experience with and to dogs but not the other way around. 
The better we can understand the life of a dog, the better life we can offer them. We ask A LOT of this very specific, carefully curated species and it’s time we really dig into the life of a dog as they see it and experience it.
Thanks so much to Dr. Siracusa for this mind blowing conversation! 
Lots of Love, Kate & Jenn.

In this week’s episode we are speaking with Dr. Winifred Frick.  Dr. Frick is a research biologist and chief scientist at Bat Conservation International, and is an adjunct professor in ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. At BCI, generally her research focuses on conservation biology and ecology of bats, but she is primarily focused on the impacts of the deadly fungal disease called White-nose syndrome to bat populations in North America. This is the 5th and final episode in our mini-series all about animals that have false narratives following them around for so long, and this episode exists to change that!
We are so excited for you to listen to this conversation. Dr. Frick was so fun to speak with and was so patient with all our questions and her enthusiasm and respect and love for bats is really contagious. 
And you’ll hear my ignorant demand that she change the name of the bat species the Flying Fox to the Flying Baby Bear Cub.  Google them.  I’m starting a campaign for this initiative and one for Fat BAT Week!  You’ll see. 
Enjoy and don’t forget to share this episode!
Lots of Love.

Welcome to our End Of Year episode, where Jenn & Kate wrap up the year with what impacted us, what was challenging for us, and what inspired us. We are sharing our rose, thorn, and seed with you all in reflection of an amazing year at The Kindred Podcast. We wish you all the best and thank you so much for your years of support. We wouldn't be here without you, and we are eternally grateful for the opportunity to create this podcast for you, and for the incredible flora and fauna we live among that make this planet the most exquisite planet around.  And for the humans we are so lucky to speak with, working tirelessly in support of this beautiful blue world. Happy New Year. All the best for your 2026. And as always, lots of love.

In this week’s episode we are speaking with Kojo Baidoo,  a naturalist and ecologist, all about the incredible vulture. Kojo received his degree in ecology and evolutionary biology from Princeton University where he did his senior thesis on black vultures. He is currently working with the Nature Conservancy in Nebraska on the Platte River Prairies learning about land management and conservation on about 4000 acres of protected prairie land. 
Kojo is just starting out in his formal career, but he’s been a lifetime birder and is a lover of vultures, and part of his mission is fighting back against the negative PR animals like vultures get through his photography and social media which  heavily features vultures. And so we asked him to join us as part of our mini-series dispelling false narratives about many animals. 
Thanks for joining us and we hope you share this episode! 
Lots of love.
