The Anthropo Scene Podcast artwork

A podcast exploring biology, ecology, and introduced and invasive species around the world. We are interested in super neat science about nature, and how humans interact with the nature, wildlife, and the rest of our environment. 

We take a serious approach to research, and a less serious approach to the delivery, so we can all have a bit more fun along the way. 

In loving memory of Nicholas McCarney.
