Join me as I talk with Ellen Windemuth: veteran wildlife film producer and distributor, who brought us Netflix's My Octopus Teacher. We discuss lion hunts, stumbling upon giraffes, and of course the magical mystery of our mollusk friends. Why are octopuses going slowly blind? And what role might filmmaking play in saving them?

We're all animals. Sometimes we forget that. Thankfully, the Human Nature Cast is here to set things straight. Join us each Saturday for lively interviews with public figures that set out how amazingly diverse Homo sapiens can be, as well as our inseverable connection to our animal friends. From authors and animators to athletes and adventurers, from composers to comedians, we celebrate the wonders of Human Nature. And, with the help of 8.7 million animal species, we start to unravel the true meaning of life! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
