On episode #147, Lindsay starts the show with a cautionary tale on why it’s never good to alter Mother Nature’s distribution of native species. Hawaii in the late 1800s dealt with a problem of rats in the sugarcane fields by…well…importing an animal from the other side of the world. It did not end well! And speaking of animals (!), J.G. tells us about two Welshmen who naturally found themselves in a pub. On the Gold Coast of Australia. A bit in their cups. Who decided at 2 AM that it was the perfect time to realize a lifelong dream of swimming with dolphins. The decision did not please the local SeaWorld theme park. Or it's prized penguin, Dirk. And that’s just the beginning of Jethro’s story! Join us, won’t you?
