Being sent naked into the wilderness to fend for one’s life might make most people cower in fear, but if you grew up like Forrest Galante as a shoeless farm kid in Zimbabwe, trapping hyenas and seeking asylum in Oakland when men with guns came to your house, it’s just another Wednesday.
On this episode, we’re joined by Forrest — author of Still Alive: A Wild Life of Rediscovery and co-host of The Wild Times Podcast — to talk about his stint on Naked and Afraid which led him to realize that television (where he went on to present Extinct or Alive and Mysterious Creatures) would be a more popular medium to spread a message of conservation than his previous gig as an ant-counting biologist. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
