Joining us on the show today, we have Ellen Weatherford, the creator of Just the Zoo of Us Podcast. Along with her husband, Christian, Ellen’s focus is to educate people on topics relating to wildlife, threats to endangered species and biodiversity, threats posed by invasive species, and what we can do to help. Ellen starts by recounting the story of how the amazing name for her podcast came about. From there she explains the layout of her creative show. Ellen and Christian research a different animal for each show and give them a rating out of 10 in each of the following categories: effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics. The topic of her podcast seemed like a natural choice. Ellen’s love for animals is deeply ingrained, from her first job working at a pet store, studying to be a zoologist in college, to exploring her talents as a nature and animal photographer and artist. Ellen goes on to explain that in every episode, she and Christian includes each animal’s conservation status, factors threatening their numbers as a species, and what we can do to help. The discussion shifts a bit to explain how having a passion for environmental causes and wanting to encourage others to make changes in their lifestyle was a large reason for exploring this topic. We then talk about Ellen’s love for educational podcasts beginning at a very young age and how they have had an influence on her life. After attending a lecture by Griffen McElroy and venturing out on Jonathan Coulton’s JoCo Cruise, Ellen and her husband were inspired to finally take the plunge and start recording their podcast. Ellen then shares the biggest lessons she learned in community building and networking during the process of launching a podcast. We wrap up by discussing Ellen’s advice for someone who may be on the fence with starting their own podcast.

We went High Concept! Each week we will compete against a popular video game podcast, review them and rob them of an element of their show. Then, like Mega Man, we will make that element a permanent fixture in our own show! It's all part of our quest to go from the the world's most stupid video game podcast to the world's greatest. In this episode we fight our new mortal enemies: The Besties, consisting of that fearsome foursome, Chris Plante, Justin McElroy, Griffen McElroy and Russ Frushstick, and their abused animal mascot, New York Giraffe. Games Mentioned in this Episode: When Ian Fell in the Machine Rise of the Triad Infinite Crisis Bioshock Infinite DLC: Clash in the Clouds Saints Row the Third/IV Lego Batman 2 Infamous: Second Son Deadlight We Love You Twitter: @GoForRainbow Email: GoForRainbow@gmail.com
