Primates, Parasites, and Podcasting with PrimateCast Host Andrew MacIntosh | S2E41
Manage episode 367148148 series 3419337
In recent years, podcasts have emerged as an innovative and accessible medium for science education. With their ability to engage, inform, and entertain listeners, podcasts have become an invaluable tool for disseminating knowledge about various scientific disciplines...including the best one of all, primatology ;)
It probably won't come as a surprise that - apart from, of course, our own - Andrew MacIntosh's, podcast, The PrimateCast, run out of Kyoto University's Wildlife Research Center, is the Talking Apes team's collective favourite podcast.
Enlightening audiences about the wonders of primatology, evolution, and anthropology since 2012, the show has featured fascinating conversations with some of the primatology world's troop-leaders, including Frans de Waal, John Mitani, and the chimp queen herself, Jane Goodall.
This week we had a lovely chat with Andrew on Talking Apes, where we delved into the history of The PrimateCast and how podcasting has become an indispensable tool to engage and educate the public about primates, the threats they face, and the vital conservation of their habitats.
We also talked about Andrew's colourful scientific career as part primatologist/marine biologist, behavioural ecologist, and university professor; and his long-term research on the intersection between animal behaviour and parasitism.
