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.

In this episode, I interview entomologist and science communicator, Miles Maxcer. We discuss the Asian Giant Hornets, recently dubbed the “Murder Hornets”, that have been reported in the U.S. Miles discusses potential hazards of Asian Giant Hornets being invasive in the U.S. and its detrimental effects on native bee populations. We also cover theories on how they got in the United States and why some people even eat them! Other topics include Mile’s fascination with ants and some really interesting facts!
