Last Child in the Watershed? Interview with Richard Louv

What can cities do to connect kids with nature? Billy and frequent guest host Robin Irizarry of the Tookany/Tacony/Frankford Watershed Partnership (TTF) interview Richard Louv to find out.

Richard will be speaking on February 28th, 6pm at the Friends Center (1501 Cherry Street in Philadelphia, PA) as part of the TTF’s Nature Talks series, but this episode is a great look at how kids need nature, and how cities are working to connect kids with nature (including the TTF’s bad-ass watershed education tricycle).

Re-Post: Cat Wars (Pete Marra special)

Pete Marra joins us for a special episode to talk about his (and Chris Santella’s) book Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer. We originally posted this for his talk last year at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. Billy has an article coming out in Grid Magazine about outdoor cats, and it seemed like a good moment to post this one again. Stay tuned for our deeper dive into the outdoor cat literature.
