Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Today, the Safari heads down to the Virginia Living Museum for a big announcement...even though it wasn't official until after recording all of this. So we start with the announcement and then bring you three amazing humans from there.  Lyn talks us through her amazing career and the work she is now doing at the VLM, introducing us to a lot of the animals along the way. Lindsay talks to us about some fish. And Carter? They are here to talk about water bugs and water scorpions and the propagation of those species! Three very different tales from three wonderful people.

Today, the Safari heads back to Providence to catch up with three friends who were all on the pod last year. We sit down with Emily, Diana, and Kate in order to catch up on what's been going on since their episodes last year. These three women never cease to amaze and inspire me, and I'm so genuinely happy to have them back on the pod where they belong!

Today, the Safari heads to Louisville, KY, to sit down with General Curator Ron Evans of the Louisville Zoo. We talk red pandas, binturongs, koalas, exhibit design, accessibility, and a whole slew of other topics. Also, your intrepid host takes some good-natured ribbing for what is apparently a loud voice. Who knew?
