New Podcast: The Next Generation
Ellen Linton waiting for a Camas Pocket Gopher at the Oregon Zoo
In this month’s episode, Charles and I turn the podcast over to three of the youngest mammalwatchers we know: Ellen Linton (20), Bruno Kovacs Gomez (16) and Moses Swanson-Mwamasika (15).
In a lively chat the three share stories about their passion, why they love it and what their friends and family think. We hear stories about pizza with a Caracal in South Africa; close encounters with pouched rats in Zimbabwe; and a quest for a Golden Jackal in Hungary. The next generation also offer advice on how to encourage friends to join a trip. So press play if you want to learn how to sneakily turn a road trip with your bestie into a pocket gopher safari or are contemplating more extreme measures …

The podcast starts with ‘notes from the field’ from Jannico Kelk and Nicolas Rakotopare, recorded live in Darjeeling moments after a spectacular Red Panda encounter.
You can stream the podcast here or find it on your favourite podcast platform.

Notes
All three of our guests have submitted several reports to mammalwatching. See for instance Ellen’s road trip through Oregon and Idaho; Moses’s goodbye to Zimbabwe report; and Bruno’s family trip through Corfu, Vienna and Hungary.
You can find wildlife filmmaker Nicolas Rakotopare and wildlife photographer Jannico Kelk on Instagram. Their notes from the field was recorded on a scouting trip for their upcoming Red Panda photo safaris.
If you would like to submit you own notes from the field then please get in touch with Jon at info@mammalwatching.com

Thank you so much to Jon and Charles for having me. I enjoyed very much doing the episode with Moses, Ellen and you all. Also my english is not as good as the rest of you, i still think this was a 10/10 overall episode. I think i know now what being a mammalwatcher celebrity must feel like ;).
PS: You must only do the kidnapping method under serious circumstances (for example: forcing four of your friends in to a van and taking them to see bears 🙂 )
