Going Wild with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant

Show Notes

You already heard about my experience tracking lemurs in this mysterious rainforest in Madagascar in episode 2, but what I left out of that story was just how hard camping there for five weeks was on my body -- especially as the only woman in the entire group. And yes, there was some blood involved. This is a special short episode of "Going Wild." Go back and listen to episode 2: Tracking Lemurs in a Lost Rainforest: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/podcast/lemurs-rainforest-madagascar/ For more episodes: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/podcasts/going-wild/ New episodes of "Going Wild with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant" are released on Tuesdays.

Going Wild is back! This season we're heading out of the studio and into the wilderness: entering bear dens in Arkansas, diving for slave shipwrecks in the Florida Keys and wading through murky swamps to bring you closer to the people, the animals, the sounds and the stories that make these wild spaces so magical and so worth protecting.
