Nature

And so you mentioned a new show that I'm doing.

I'm involved in a podcast called Wild Critters USA, and it's a partnership between National Wildlife Federation through our Ranger Rick Magazine that I mentioned and PBS Nature.

And in every episode, it's a weekly podcast that drops four kids.

It's actually kids that are asking questions of nature experts.

Okay, so tell us about your new podcast and the kids and where to find you and all of that good stuff.

Yeah, so I mentioned earlier the podcast that I'm currently involved in is called Wild Critters USA.

It's a partnership with National Wildlife Federation and our Ranger Rick Magazine and PBS Nature.

And it's a podcast basically where kids get to ask nature experts questions about animals.

This episode is part of the Wild Critters USA series, a collaboration with Orbit, PBS Nature, and the National Wildlife Federation.

All right, Hank.

Our Wild Critters road trip map says we're deep in the California wilderness today.

Maybe someday we can learn about peacocks together.

All right, orbiters, that's all for today.

This episode is part of the Wild Critters series, a collaboration with our friends at PBS Nature and the National Wildlife Federation.

Orbit is produced by Cumbre Kids.

This episode was written by me, Robert Carpenter.

It's still not perfect.

And one of the things I've noticed when we've posted, because we've posted this, we've launched the series in partnership with PBS Nature.

And it's been very, very wonderful, very exciting to see everybody's responses.

I did notice there's kind of a subset of the early EV adopter crowd that has found their way into the chat.

We have David Misajewski, who has spent years making wildlife and conservation fun for families and kids.

He works with the National Wildlife Federation and is a co-creator of Wild Critters USA, a PBS nature and orbit series that starts with kids' own questions about animals and follows them into the wild with an appreciation for the local over exotic because the wildlife already living in your backyard is the real gateway into conservation.

But David, I want to let you fill in some blanks for me here and tell us what you're working on right now that you're excited about.

Well, first, thanks for having me.

The work that I do for the National Wildlife Federation is really in that bucket of trying to help people understand what's going on around us.

And you mentioned one of my most recent projects.

And that is this partnership that the National Wildlife Federation through our Ranger Rick Magazine has done with PBS Nature.

And we're doing this podcast called Wild Critters USA.

One way that he helps kids learn more about animals is by answering their questions.

The National Wildlife Foundation and PBS Nature have teamed up on a podcast for kids called Wild Critters, where kids like you ask questions about animals and David and other experts answer them.

For example, here's one of the questions that David was asked on the podcast.

We got a question from our friend Milam that I think is really important.

Um, and so, you know, programs like that all the way up to a program that I'm involved in right now.

It's called Wild Critters USA, and it's a podcast for kids and families, and it's a partnership between the National Wildlife Federation's Ranger Rick magazine and PBS Nature.

And so what it is, is, uh, every episode, there are kids that get to ask wildlife and nature experts questions.

And so some of the other partners are Fish and Wildlife Service, the Smithsonian's National Zoo, the National Park Service.

Yeah.

Wow, that's a big question.

You know, I, I... like I said, I grew up in the '80s, um, and I was a huge fan of, well, PBS Nature.

Yeah.

This episode is part of the series Wild Critters USA, a collaboration between Orbit, PBS Nature, and the National Wildlife Federation.

All right, Hank.

According to our road trip map, we should stop somewhere around here to stretch our legs.

Bye bye.

Bye.
