Such an awesome episode! Your discussion at the end about embracing and finding comfort in not knowing and staying playfully curious really hit home for me. I have always loved nature but often thought I'm not smart enough to try and understand and therefore fully appreciate it. Hearing from Julia about how the majority of her time is spent saying "what the huck is going on" gave me such comfort, happiness and motivation to ask more questions, stay curious and learn more. It was so funny her saying that she doesn't know "the magical words to convey it" but to me, she already had. Moved me to tears! Thank you for your wonderful content! ❤

Morning Ross.. Finding your podcast this morning is invigorating.. You light up the forest with Julia, giving me a whole new sense of just what we live with, these webs of life, micro universes, facinating , both of you are such gifted natural teachers, makes me want to go back and start over. Just about one of the best forest chats I have ever been privaledged to listen to.. Kind regards Keith, in the high Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa.

This episode was a great example of why choosing your setting outside pays off. The lichen/alder part was great because we could see what you're talking about! keep up the great content!

Yeah baybeee!!! You read her book? It's fantastic!

Really awesome podcast. I’m a bit behind but am glad I didn’t miss this. The info on the alder alone-bark & nitrogen fixing bacteria in those root-nodules-was already so worth the listen, but so much more. Truly great stuff. Thanks so much. Sharing, for sure!

Oh awesome, so glad you're enjoying it! The podcast sure has been a fun little venture into a new medium

Taking down notes as im watching, great content! Cant wait for more, never get channels that are so thorough with topics, does anyone know any other great podcasts that are specific to animals?

Would love to be a guest on your podcast :)

Capitalism is not the problem, the problem is people have an incentive to ruthlessly extract resources which the system rewards. However, if extracting was penalized and if we lived in a society where there were Incentives to make profits on preserving nature then I don’t see how capitalism can’t be used to turn things around.

Totally, capitalism in itself isnt the issue, its individual greed and selfishness
