Guest on Prime Mates Podcast

I did something fun recently. I recorded my first podcast!


To be clear, it's not my podcast. I was a guest expert on it. What made it extra fun was that not only was it primates-related, but it was hosted by a comedian, so I was able to relax and joke around a bit more than I usually do when interviewed.

The podcast, Prime Mates, focuses on primates in entertainment. After I checked it out and determined that it didn't promote their use in entertainment (only discuss it, and often with a sympathetic bent) I thought it would be a great way for me to promote the need for sanctuary care for post-entertainer apes and monkeys. The host of the podcast, Matt Stewart, agreed.

It was a really great experience recording with Matt - even though he's based in Australia and we did it all via Skype! Feedback to the episode is very positive ("Great guesting. Very informative." "Great episode." "Wow this is a really good episode! What a great guest.") We are already discussing my return on another episode, and I'm really hoping it happens soon!
