    We briefly catch up and discuss the boundary waters before diving into the episode. We focus on two endangered species, the Hector's Dolphin and the American Burying Beetle.

    In this episode, we explore the lives of three iconic figures who ignited our passion for the natural world: the exuberant Steve Irwin, the insightful Robert Sapolsky, and the pioneering Alexander von Humboldt.
