It's not easy being an elephant these days. Devastating droughts (exacerbated by climate change), encroaching development, and relentless poachers force elephants across Asia and Africa to go on the run, literally, in the pursuit of food, water and, a place to call home. Executive Producer Lucinda Axelsson (“Elephant Diaries”, “Elephants of Samburu”, “Meerkat Manor”) of the fascinating National Geographic series “Secrets of the Elephants” joins Ken on the podcast to discuss the almost insurmountable obstacles — largely manmade — facing elephants today and the extraordinary adaptability and intelligence that keeps these remarkable animals one step ahead of extinction. Lucinda takes us behind the scenes with the production team, which managed to capture some extraordinary, never-before-seen moments in the wild, and shares her own “secrets” about what keeps drawing her back to the elephants' special world. “Secrets of the Elephants”, which is nominated for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Cinematography for a Nonfiction Program, is available for streaming on National Geographic.

The huge popularity of meerkats is in no small part down to Professor Tim Clutton-Brock, zoologist and evolutionary biologist of the University of Cambridge. ‘Meerkat Manor' and many natural history TV documentaries that have followed the lives of these small appealing mongooses were filmed at the field research centre in South Africa which Tim set up three decades ago. Colleagues describe Tim Clutton-Brock as one of the giants in the field of animal behaviour and societies, seeking to explain them from an evolutionary and ecological perspective. He is renowned for his ambitious, long-term studies of populations of animals in the wild. His research follows hundreds of individuals to see how the animals develop and fare over their entire lifetimes and what factors determine their longevity and their success at producing offspring. Among the numerous species which Tim has studied are red deer on the island of Rum in Scotland and meerkats in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. From the minutiae of the lives of many individual animals, his aim has been to see the big picture – explanations that provide a logical framework for what we see in Nature. Professor Clutton-Brock talks to Jim Al-Khalili about his five decades of research; including why sons cost mothers more than daughters, getting close to fighting stags at night, and how to tame a meerkat so she'll let you ultrasound her belly. Producer: Andrew Luck-Baker

Have you ever watched a relentlessly clever squirrel outwit a squirrel-proof bird feeder? Few things are more entertaining. In fact, stumping squirrels is big business, and studying how different squirrel personalities respond to environmental challenges is actually some people's day job. And yes, you read that right: "squirrel personalities." Finally, scientists have the intellectual freedom to admit animals have personalities. In today's episode, Ann and Lisa discuss animal personality science in the context of squirrels. We also introduce you to the four game show contestants, Rick, Marty, Frank, and Phat Gus, who competed in an obstacle course for a cache prize of walnuts. Bored and isolated during the early days of the pandemic, YouTube engineer and inventor. Mark Rober decided to become a birdwatcher, but before he knew it, he was producing and hosting a crazy new YouTube show, Backyard Squirrel Maze 1.0: Ninja Warrior Course.

This episode is about how doing background work can ruin your viewing experience, what core stand-in means, director-selected roles, how establishing scenes work, and making yourself heard when you're given no lines. Although many background jobs can have hundreds of people, I talk about doing background with no principal actors and doing stand-in with no background. Both are much more intimate because there are fewer people and moving parts and all eyes are on you. I also discuss handling weirdos on set as well as a COVID case that shut down production for two days and what I learned about it on a Google Meets Town Hall. Damn you, Delta variant! For added interest, I've included a bit about Meerkat Manor which is back on after 20 years and my trip to Cape Cod with my dog, where I met interesting people and drove through cities in Virginia with very odd names.

Hello, Friends The title of this message is a play on the television program Meerkat Manor. The New International Version uses the word mere on many occasions. The most appropriate definition involves the idea that something is nothing more than what is specified. For a Christian to be called a mere man is an insult to the high calling that exists in every Christian's life. This message explores the Christian's right to make judgments and our responsibility to live as led by the Spirit of God. We pray that you are encouraged to lay aside your mere natural instincts and embrace the divine counsel of God. Shalom, The LCMF Staff
