In this episode, I interview former SeaWorld Killer Whale Trainer and author of “Killing Keiko: The True Story of Free Willy’s Return to the Wild”, Mark Simmons. Mark has been working with and training marine mammals for 30 years. Mark discusses what it was like training Killer Whales at SeaWorld, including “Tilikum”, the whale who killed trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010. He also discusses the documentary “Blackfish” and what the filmmakers left out. Mark then dives into his experience assisting with the “Keiko Project”, a failed attempt at trying to return ‘Free Willy’ whale “Keiko” back to the wild.

Episode #85: Leopard Seals w/ Dr. Doug Krause

In this episode, I interview NOAA scientist and Leopard Seal researcher, Dr. Doug Krause. He specializes in predator/prey interactions of Antarctic species, in particular Leopard Seals and Antarctic Fur Seals. During the interview, he explains how new innovative techniques like attaching “critter cams”, have opened up the once private world of the Antarctic’s most elusive predator. Other topics include traveling to Antartica, penguins, and recent findings about Leopard Seal ecology.
