Episode 63 - Birds and People with Denny Olson

Join host, John Fraley, in an exploration of fun aspects of the natural world: interesting bird and wildlife species, other fauna, and flora, much of which we can find on the FVCC Campus. 

The podcast features interviews with naturalists and wildlife professionals and students doing interesting projects, as well as funny and unusual aspects of nature and wildlife management. Listeners can learn about nature in their own backyard (or campus). 

John's experience includes hosting a wildlife and nature radio show for more than 20 years on local radio stations KJJR and KALS.
