#2 Lauren Arthur | Safari Guide | Wildlife Biologist | Presenter |

LAUREN ARTHUR is a zoologist, marine biologist, TV presenter, all round animal lover and passionate conservationist. She used to present DiveLive, underwater, now she is one of the safari guides on the Wild Earth YouTube channel, hosting live African safaris twice daily. She recently travelled to Ethiopia in hope of sighting the incredibly rare and endangered Ethiopian Wolf, and she's now an official WWF Voices ambassador.

Amongst other things, we talk about her hair-raising close encounters with both lions and elephants, her animal rescue efforts, and the tragic shooting of a leopard.

The podcast that will introduce you to people you’ve never heard of, along with getting you better acquainted with those you have. 

Relaxed conversational style interview podcast with no rigid structure or boundaries.

My goal with this podcast is to talk to an eclectic mix of people about an eclectic range of topics. The only thing all my guests are guaranteed to have in common, is that I want to chat with them.
