Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores themes of wolf behavior, ecology, conservation, and the social dimensions of human-wolf interactions. Episodes feature specific topics such as the complexities of wolf social behavior, recovery efforts in the western U.S., and the interplay between personal experiences and scientific research. For example, discussions may include the pros and cons of wolf reintroduction efforts with Dr. Diane Boyd and the significance of understanding wolf perspectives through diverse lenses.
Join us for stories and conversations with the scientists and conservationists who investigate to understand coastal species and processes; inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities; and inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
For the finale of this season “More than a fish”, we’re switching it up! The roles are reversed – host Auston Chhor is interviewed by our podcast producer, Sofia Osborne, and is put in the hot seat to ponder some of the complex questions he’s thrown at guests throughout the previous episodes.
Auston is a Salmon Habitat Biologist for Raincoast’s wild salmon program, and a Registered Professional Biologist. He received a BSc in Biology from Queen’s University and went on to complete a Master’s of Science at Carleton University under Dr. Steven Cooke, where he studied how catch-and-release angling impacts the behaviour of fish – basically, what happens to fish when you catch them and let them go, and what fishers can do to minimize their impacts when doing this. Spoiler alert: fish don’t like being out of water!
