Chris Fisher’s new podcast is entertaining and informative.

Posted by Bob Lefebvre

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and recently I stumbled upon a new one from the Alberta naturalist Chris Fisher. Chris is probably best-known as the co-author (with John Acorn) of the excellent Birds Of Alberta field guide. The new podcast, also called Birds of Alberta, began on March 28, and there have been sixteen episodes so far. Each one focuses on a single wildlife species that can be found in Alberta. This is usually a bird, but there was also a really good episode about Wood Frogs.

Each episode is fairly short, ranging from eleven minutes to twenty-two minutes. As the description above says, they are about “the special experiences that the birds have while in this province to the special experiences that Albertans have with their birds”. It is not an interview format, but just Chris sharing his wide knowledge of Alberta wildlife.

I really enjoyed all the episodes so far, and I’m looking forward to more.

Check out the Birds of Alberta podcast – it is a welcome addition to Alberta’s wildlife media.
