In this episode of the Marketing and Distribution Podcast, host Alex Stolz is joined by Ana Maria Jipa and Malcolm Wood, co-founders of Olyn, a new digital platform aiming to redefine how independent films are released and monetized. Drawing on their backgrounds in technology, entrepreneurship, and film production, Ana and Malcolm discuss how Olyn seeks to provide filmmakers with direct-to-consumer tools — enabling them to maintain ownership, access audience data, and control the viewing experience. The conversation covers core platform functionalities, including custom landing pages, geo-blocking, revenue splits, and scarcity-based release strategies. The episode also explores broader shifts in the film industry: the growing demand for alternative distribution models, the role of audience data in decision-making, and how creators are beginning to apply startup thinking to their release strategies. Ana and Malcolm share examples of early user behavior, evolving filmmaker mindsets, and the rationale behind their  business model. This conversation provides a detailed look at the evolving digital infrastructure for independent film — and how tools like Olyn could help bridge the gap between creation, monetization, and long-term audience engagement.

Fall in love with Australia's two largest (and flightless) birds. This episode explores what makes these big birds so special, from their impressive size and strength to the important job they play in the Australian landscape.Luca is an 12-year old nature lover and birder who lives in Naarm (Melbourne) and feels most at home in nature. His fondness and respect for wildlife was first inspired by Sir David Attenborough's programs. Luca's fascination for birds began through art at the age of 7, when he started drawing birds and devouring bird identification books. This ignited a passion for birdwatching and bird photography. For Luca, drawing and photographing birds continue to be central in getting to know Australian birds and those living in other parts of the world. Luca carries his passion for birding where ever he goes, whether he is camping, hiking, surfing or on a road trip. He loves sharing his knowledge of birds with others as much as he enjoys learning from birders he meets on his nature adventures.

Every year, the great migration sees hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, gazelles, zebras and antelopes migrate from the Serengeti plains in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara in Kenya, in search of water and juicy grass. But rising temperatures and unpredictable weather are changing this epic animal journey dramatically. It's the same for great white sharks, which are being spotted in areas where they'd never normally live.Tanzanian safari guide Neema Amos takes us into the Serengeti to explain why the wildebeest migration is so important. And shark expert Trisha Atwood reveals how these changes affect not just the animals, but our fight against climate change itself.Presenter Sophie Eastaugh is joined by: Neema Amos, Safari Guide in Tanzania Trisha Atwood, Associate Professor of Watershed Sciences at Utah State University Joseph Ogutu, Senior Statistician at University of HohenheimEmail us at theclimatequestion@bbc.comProducers: Sophie Eastaugh and Octavia Woodward Editors: Graihagh Jackson and Tom Bigwood Series Producer: Simon Watts Sound design and mixing: Tom Brignell Production Coordinator: Brenda BrownArchive from the Sir David Attenborough programme, ‘Wildebeest: The Super Herd', BBC Two, 2008This programme was first broadcast in March 2024

Telling a story is hard. Filming nature is even harder. That may be why, in the 1940s, Walt Disney productions leaned on movie magic to develop its True-Life Adventures nature documentary series. It built sets, shipped in animals from distant locales, and even made up facts. One lie looms larger than them all. It's haunted the film genre for generations with a question: From classics narrated by Sir David Attenborough to today's fast-paced animal content on YouTube, is what we're seeing real or fake? Prompted by a Reddit post, Endless Thread's Ben Brock Johnson and Dean Russell go down the rabbit hole — lemming hole? — of deception in nature documentaries. ***** Credits: This episode was produced by Dean Russell and Ben Brock Johnson.

‘If we and the rest of the back-boned animals were to disappear overnight, the rest of the world would get on pretty well. But if the invertebrates were to disappear, the world's ecosystems would collapse.' Sir David Attenborough.From pollination and seed dispersal to pest control and nutrient cycling, insects and other invertebrates provide humanity with a wide plethora of ecosystem services. Without them, nature and subsequently the global economy will collapse into ruin.Unfortunately, despite their significance, invertebrates are under immense threat. According to a study published in 2019, 40% of all insect species are declining. Threats ranging from climate change, light pollution, habitat loss, pesticides, and pharmaceutical waste are dimming the future of invertebrates globally.In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, Paul Hetherington from Buglife and I, discuss the insectinction. Paul elaborates upon the projects that Buglife is spearheading to help halt and reverse the insectinction. This is a public episode.

Lies doet haar eigen stunts, en dat is voor iemand met zelf gediagnosticeerde dyspraxie toch een behoorlijke prestatie. Zo struikelen we ons, al dan niet gecoördineerd, de week door, met zomerluwte die mee blijkt te vallen en broer-zuscontact dat het best verloopt als je het als Sir David Attenborough bekijkt – met mildheid, belangstelling en van een afstand.Ook stieffamilie die leeft op kiloknallers en AliExpress blijk je zo optimaal te kunnen benaderen, en daarmee draait bijna alles deze week om liefde en vergiffenis. De enige kwelling die ons rest is: waarom moeten we bij het boodschappen doen altijd luisteren naar een bepaalde artiest?

Veteran underwater cameraman, John Ruthven, talks to us about his book and a lifetime of exploring the deep. He is also a producer of Sir David Attenborough's The Blue Planet, a zoologist, film director, writer, editor and stylist.

My guest this week is Holly Budge the founder of UK Charity, ‘How Many Elephants', and World Female Ranger Week. Her impactful work has been celebrated worldwide, including by Sir David Attenborough and HRH Prince Edward. She was recently voted ‘Woman of the Year in Non-Profit', listed in the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise, and is an official UN Women UK Delegate.  As a professional speaker Holly has inspired thousands globally to think big. Her adventurous pursuits, including summiting Everest and becoming the first woman to skydive Everest, create a platform to raise awareness and funding for conservation. To date she has fundraised over £500,000. We speak the week of World Female Ranger Week which aims to amplify the voices of these brave women, breaking down social stigmas and shining a light on their incredible achievements and the unique challenges they face. Holly's insights reveal a complex picture of poaching, from individuals driven by desperation to organized syndicates involved in wildlife crime. She emphasizes the moral dilemmas faced by rangers and the indispensable role women play in building community relationships and reducing corruption. Holly's dedication to conservation goes beyond just talking about the issues; she's about actionable change. She passionately discusses the importance of funding in conservation efforts, encapsulating her belief that "conservation without funding is just conversation." Her campaign not only raises awareness but also aims to attract crucial support and resources. In this episode, we delve into the profound impact of personal experiences on advocacy, the power of media in driving global awareness, and the inspiring stories of female rangers fighting against the odds. Holly also shares her new venture, Wildlife Positive Travel, offering immersive experiences with anti-poaching teams in Africa and Kenya. www.worldfemalerangerweek.org www.howmanyelephants.org www.hollybudge.com Instagram: @worldfemalerangerweek @howmanyelephants @hollybudge Facebook: @worldfemalerangerweek @howmanyelephants @hollybudgeadventure Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hollybudge/ Remember to subscribe to be notified about new episodes.

What happens when your documentary feels flat and unengaging, despite all your hard work? This was the main question behind a Masterclass I gave at  the World Congress of Science and Factual Producers.We look at  why a lack of storytelling craft and mentorship in the industry often leads to issues with storytelling, and debunk the myth that extensive planning compromises authenticity. Also I  contrasts the techniques used in drama and documentary, highlighting the crucial need for structural organization to create compelling narratives.As case studies I look at  both the Natural History documentary about Meerkats, with commentary read by Sir David Attenborough, and the storytelling techniques behind the hugely popular Netflix series "F1: Drive to Survive." I explain how the Netflix  series we used commentators and scripted lines to clarify the intricate dynamics of Formula One racing, weaving multiple narrative layers to offer a richer and more engaging story. I also look at  methods for balancing external and internal conflicts in documentaries, using examples from both racing and science documentaries. Are you interested in joining the DocFix program and working with Nigel? Get started with our complimentary case study that shows you how the method is used in high-profile documentaries and to see if you are a good fit for what we do and how we work.

Sir David Attenborough's still got it. As he proves in Netflix's extraordinary nature series “Our Planet II”, the 98-year-old legendary British biologist, natural historian, narrator, and writer remains one of the documentary world's great talents.   Joining Mike and Ken on the pod, “Our Planet II" Series Producer Huw Cordey discusses the ins-and-outs of collaborating with narrator Sir David and the tremendous challenges of this mind-blowing nature series. Picking up where Our Planet left off, the sequel explores how and why a vast array of species embark on their annual migratory journeys. Along the way, Huw describes how all the key creative elements, from the extraordinary cinematography to the finely-honed scripts, come together to make stars of these remarkable creatures, great and small. They are the real legends of this story.   “Our Planet II” is streaming on Netflix.    Follow: @huwcordey on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter/X   Hidden Gem: “Big Oil v the World”

Hace ciento cincuenta millones de años, los dinosaurios dominaban la tierra, pero los océanos estaban dominados por un misterioso monstruo marino. ¡Conoce al pliosaurio, el Tyrannosaurus rex de los mares! Ahora, se ha encontrado un cráneo gigante en los acantilados de la Costa Jurásica. El documental sigue a Sir David Attenborough mientras investiga el descubrimiento de su vida. Se unirá a dos de los cazadores de fósiles más intrépidos del Reino Unido, Steve Etches y Chris Moore, en su peligrosa expedición para excavar el cráneo desde su lugar de descanso a 12 metros de altura en el acantilado. Sir David ha sido un ávido coleccionista de fósiles desde que era un niño, pero nunca se había topado con un hallazgo como este. La primera pieza de este rompecabezas jurásico fue descubierta por pura casualidad. Un entusiasta de los fósiles que caminaba por una playa cerca de la bahía de Kimmeridge, Dorset, vio una mañana lo que parecía un gran trozo de madera flotante. ¡Pero pronto se dio cuenta de que era algo mucho más extraordinario! Era el hocico –sólo la punta– de un enorme cráneo de pliosaurio. Se llamó al experto en fósiles Steve Etches y supo que el hallazgo era enormemente significativo. También sospechaba que el resto del cráneo todavía estaba en el acantilado, por lo que rápidamente se embarcó en el enorme desafío de extraerlo. Utilizando la última tecnología para ayudar a desentrañar los misterios del cráneo, un equipo internacional de científicos y paleontólogos busca pistas sobre cómo se veía esta temible bestia no solo sino también cómo se comportaba y las estrategias que utilizaba para cazar a sus presas. Sir David visita la Universidad de Southampton, donde una tomografía computarizada del hocico revela una asombrosa red de vasos sanguíneos y fosas sensoriales, que habrían ayudado al pliosaurio a cazar incluso en las aguas más profundas y oscuras. Y en la Universidad de Bristol, Sir David analiza un modelo 3D hecho del cráneo del pliosaurio y descubre que el pliosaurio tenía una fuerza de mordida de alrededor de 32.000 newtons: el doble que la de un cocodrilo de agua salada, que tiene la mordida más fuerte de cualquier animal del planeta. hoy. Secuencias de efectos visuales de vanguardia dan vida al monstruo marino, mostrando su asombroso tamaño (se cree que mide unos increíbles 12 metros de largo) y su fenomenal fuerza. Un nuevo descubrimiento trascendental, los científicos ahora creen que podría ser una especie de pliosaurio completamente nueva.

This episode of the All Creatures Podcast delves into one of the world's most obscure mammals, the echidna. Hosts Chris and Angie explore this unique creature's physiology, including its spines, pouch, and reptile-like legs, highlighting its distinction from anteaters. The podcast covers the echidna's endangered status, the significance of the Taronga Zoo in Sydney in echidna conservation, and the fascinating aspects of echidna reproduction, including the male's four-headed penis and the female's pouch for raising their egg-laying young, known as puggles. With insights from their visit to the zoo and a special focus on Sir David Attenborough's contributions to wildlife conservation, the episode emphasizes the critical need for conservation efforts to protect these ancient, egg-laying mammals.

Producer Alastair Fothergill has spent decades making nature documentaries around the world, often working closely with Sir David Attenborough. His work includes Blue Planet and Planet Earth. In this podcast, Alastair discusses why he felt the time was right to make a series concentrating on the nature and wildlife that can be found in the British Isles. He talks about the challenges of securing the footage in some remote locations in Scotland as well as his highlights from the series which took three years to make.

En todo el mundo, hay héroes en la primera línea de la conservación que lo arriesgan todo en la lucha para salvar la vida silvestre. Sir David Attenborough presenta este programa diciendo: "Una nueva generación de personas extraordinarias está dando un paso al frente para salvar la vida silvestre". Están superando enormes obstáculos, viajando a lugares peligrosos y, a veces, incluso arriesgando sus vidas. ¡Para mí son verdaderos héroes! Esta es la historia de algunos de ellos”.

David Attenborough talking about God and religion, agnosticism, longevity and has a interesting debate with a creationist and scientist Professor Harvey Carey. Joe Kirby from Off the Kirb Ministries also shares the experience he has when he met David Attenborough at just 16 years old!

Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo... Spring is just around the corner in the northern hemisphere, so it's time to learn some animal facts! Turns out, medieval people had all sorts of strange beliefs about wildlife both real and imagined. So, join Olivia, Aran, and beloved naturalist Sir David Attenborough* as they take you to meet fruit-rustling hedgehogs, homicidal pelicans, immortal eagles, and the most tender lovers in the animal kingdom: bears. Also discussed: the existential terror of Animorphs, CS Lewis' creative process, and which animals are Jesus.

Sir David Attenborough viaja al mundo oculto de los bosques, donde las vidas se entrelazan de la manera más inesperada. Desde las selvas tropicales templadas de Canadá, donde rara vez se ven 'osos espirituales' pescando salmón, hasta los bosques de teca de la India, donde los perros salvajes silbantes trabajan juntos para cazar presas tres veces más grandes, los bosques del planeta Tierra están llenos de conexiones invisibles. . Para destacar en los brumosos bosques montañosos de China, los tragopan macho han desarrollado una rutina de baile cómica, mientras que en la densa selva tropical, los saltamontes forman alianzas sorprendentes para luchar contra los insectos asesinos, y los cálaos orientales hacen todo lo posible para proteger a sus crías. Aunque apenas ahora estamos empezando a comprender cuán profundamente interconectada está la vida en el bosque, sí sabemos que esas conexiones están amenazadas por la deforestación. Cada árbol individual es un ecosistema intrincado en sí mismo, pero los humanos talan 15 mil millones de ellos cada año. En el Amazonas, están siendo reemplazadas por plantaciones de una sola especie de árbol –el eucalipto– que convierten mundos ricos y complejos en poco más que desiertos verdes. En las pequeñas zonas de bosque que quedan, animales como los chimpancés, nuestros parientes más cercanos, se ven obligados a labrarse una existencia en el mundo humano.

This is a replay of episode 96 with Damian Mander, originally aired on August 11, 2021. Prepare to be riveted by the extraordinary saga of Damien Mander, a former military sniper turned vegan anti-poaching crusader, as he shares the intimate details of his harrowing journey from the battlefield to the front lines of wildlife conservation. Damien's raw account of grappling with the aftermath of military life, his descent into substance abuse, and the profound epiphany that led him to Africa reveals a man reborn with a fierce determination to defend the voiceless. Our conversation traverses the emotional landscape of his transformation, a stirring testament to the power of second chances and the indomitable human spirit to affect real, tangible change in the world. This episode is an evocative expedition into the heart of conservation, where Damien has dismantled the status quo by championing women's empowerment through the groundbreaking Akashinga program. Venture behind the scenes of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) with us, as we explore how this visionary initiative is reshaping the narrative of environmental stewardship. Discover how placing women at the helm is not only revolutionizing the field of conservation but also knitting together the fabric of local communities by weaving gender equality, job creation, and sustainable development into a cohesive strategy for lasting impact. Guest Bio: Australian-born Damien is an Iraq war veteran who served as a Naval clearance diver and Special Operations sniper for Australia. In 2009 while traveling through Africa, he was inspired by the work of rangers and the plight of wildlife. Liquidating his life savings, the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) was established to be the last line of defense for nature. Over the past decade, the IAPF has scaled to train and support rangers which now help protect over 20 million acres of the African wilderness. In 2017 Damien founded ‘Akashinga - Nature Protected by Women', an IAPF program that has already grown to over 240 employees with 8 nature reserves in the portfolio. They are the only group of nature reserves in the world to be protected by women. Their goal is to employ 1000 women by 2026, protecting a network of 20 nature reserves. He is the winner of the 2019 Winsome Constance Kindness Gold Medal, a prestigious international recognition for services to animals and humans. Past recipients include Sir David Attenborough and Dr. Jane Goodall. He was featured in The Game Changers by Academy Award-winning director James Cameron and has now released another documentary with Cameron and National Geographic about his work with the women of Akashinga. He is a resident speaker for National Geographic and was featured in their magazine in 2019, has spoken at the United Nations, appeared three times on 60 Minutes, and was recognized by the Dutch Government as a Gender Champion.

In this episode, I am joined by internationally renowned conservationist Ian Redmond who has more than 45 years of experience ranging from field research to developing anti-poaching policy for the United Nations. Ian is the Head of Conservation at Ecoflix and is an ambassador for the UN's Convention on Migratory Species.  Ian takes me on a journey through his work to protect endangered species including working with Dian Fossey on creating the film Gorillas in the Mist and being the first to introduce Sir David Attenborough to gorillas back when he was just David. We talk about Ian's trip around the world following Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation of the globe and taking a detour into Kenya to find the only elephants that are known to go deep into caves to mine salt.  Ian gives us insight into how ecotourism helps endangered species by creating ecological parameters to preserve natural habitats while increasing anti-poaching efforts. We discuss what people can do in their day-to-day lives to help endangered species thrive and continue to exist, and Ian inspires me to want to meet, learn about, and respect the world's most vulnerable animals while respecting and protecting their natural habitats. 

How can the arts help cultivate our intuitive intelligence? What does visual art teach us about consciousness and the human condition? Jonathan Yeo is one of the world's leading figurative artists and portrait painters. From celebrated figures such as Sir David Attenborough, peace activist Malala Yousafzai, the Duke of Edinburgh, Nicole Kidman, and Tony Blair, sitting for a portrait with Yeo is a provisional necessity for any 21st century icon. His work, which has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, is the subject of several major mid-career retrospectives in the UK and internationally. Yeo's course on portrait painting is available now on BBC Maestro."What are you trying to do with the portrait? On a basic level, you're trying to communicate something about the essence of who someone is. You're trying to figure out who they are, not necessarily who they present themselves as. The two things can quite often be different. And then, you're trying to find ways of showing that through their face, their posture, or any other context. My instinct is always to try to reduce down to the essential elements. We read faces. It's obviously very, very deep in our DNA, really our survival instinct. We are programmed to read faces in a very fine-tuned way.Painting is a two-dimensional thing. You're basically taking real, three-dimensional things and making them into fake, two-dimensional ones. When you get into the 3D space, some of those distinctions aren't there anymore. I remember when I showed David Hockney the VR project I'd been working on a few years ago, and he put his finger on this quite well. Most art is about perspective. Certainly, for what he is interested in. As soon as you see something in 3D, whether it's a physical sculpture or a virtual object, that's not there anymore because you're in the space with whatever's being shown, so you're in a very different place."www.jonathanyeo.comwww.bbcmaestro.comwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastImages courtesy of Jonathan Yeo

"I'm optimistic about education. There will likely be more traffic between technology and the arts. The tech world needs more creative-minded people and less literal people who have some understanding of how things work.With Jony Ive, you've got someone who designed the iPhone and was very interested in photography himself. We were talking about doing a portrait. He mentioned that he'd been fascinated by self-portraiture as a kid, so much so that when he was doing his industrial design degree, he wrote his thesis on artists' self-portraits. Fast forward a few years, and we are all taking photos every day and learning really fast how to compose images and read images and why they've been cropped in a certain way. All these things, which were probably the preserve of artists and art historians in the past, are suddenly things that kids are thinking about because it's the way they communicate with each other. So I think that that shift is interesting."Jonathan Yeo is one of the world's leading figurative artists and portrait painters.

Becky Ripley and Sophie Ward take a cold hard look at the psychology behind each of the seven deadly sins, in the order established by Pope Gregory the Great: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and lazy old sloth. Why have we evolved these ugly emotions? What's going on in the brain and the body when we feel them? And how best can we live alongside them - in ourselves and with others?Greed is in the spotlight today. And we're not talking food. (That's gluttony, we come to that later in the series.) We're talking greed for money, for land, for material things – and ultimately for control, status, dominance, power. The kind of greed that separates the "haves" from the "have nots". On one hand, greed is a great motivator, driving us all forward in our pursuit to get more of whatever it is we want. But at its ugliest, greed can come at a huge cost to other people, and to the planet. When does self-interested behaviour become selfish? And can we be greedy for the good? To guide us through this mess is evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin from the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, psychologist and social scientist Professor Paul Piff from the Department of Psychological Science at the University of California, Executive Director of the New Economy Organisers Network, Ayeisha Thomas-Smith, and a few wise words from Sir David Attenborough.Producer: Becky Ripley
