Show Notes
Dan Bova sits down with wildlife biologist, TV host, and "Shark Week" star Forrest Galante for a wild, squid-slime-soaked conversation about turning extreme animal adventures into a mission-driven media empire. Forrest shares how he went from ant researcher to building Phantasticus Pictures, now one of the largest wildlife production companies in the world. He opens up about his globe-trotting work—from India’s massive Vantara wildlife rescue center to remote corners of Africa and the Sea of Cortez—and how he uses TV, YouTube, books, and, of course, Shark Week to get millions of people to fall in love with conservation. You’ll also hear outrageous field stories (including crocodile-poop-induced emergency stops) and a preview of his new Shark Week special “Alien Sharks: Untamed America,” celebrating the mind-blowing shark life swimming around U.S. waters.

Our Dan Bova spent last summer at Mattel’s design lab, and all he got was a gorgeous art book he wrote: Hot Wheels: The Creative Drive. (And maybe a few cars in his pockets.) Ted Wu, Mattel’s vehicles boss, joins Dan to explain why Hot Wheels all face right, which toy is worth a million bucks, and how he got his own Porsche made into a Hot Wheels. Buy Dan’s book. Buy two, actually. Ted’s orders

This is the part of white-collar crime most people never see. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Bruce Campbell’s advice for aspiring indie filmmakers is refreshingly simple. Writing is the cheap part, so quit complaining and get to it. Tired of watching the same five guys land the roles he wanted, the Evil Dead legend wrote one for himself. The result is Ernie & Emma, a sweet, funny film with zero chainsaws that might just make you cry five times.

But when he started out in stand-up, no agent or manager wanted to sign him, so he built his own touring machine from scratch.
