Happy Spring! Season Two of the podcast Anthropomania is live!

Creators I know you can attest - Making a second season of any kind of show - tv, podcast, web; a second album, a second book - is in some ways a bigger deal than the first season. Every season you build on is proof that your idea has value in the marketplace. And is relevant and meaningful, even if it's pure fun and entertainment. You get better and go deeper. Creating something from scratch is *hard work* and so rewarding.

One of the few antidotes we can rely is nature to help us with perspective during stressful times. And the human relationship to nature, animals, plants,(our specialty) is a worthy topic to help remind us that there is life beyond the headlines.

"BINGEWORTHY: Are Nature Documentaries Good For Nature?" is the first episode of Season Two of Anthropomania. We gathered some of the brightest minds including Emmy and BAFTA winning filmmakers to discuss the many angles - what do we know about their impact and what role does the filmmakers motivation play? Is social media making long-form docs irrelevant?

From the director of the latest BBC doc (The Green Planet), to an Oxford University researcher studying the impact of wildlife docs, to a TikTok influencer reaching GenZ in 15 second chunks, hosts Jay Ingram and Niki Wilson wade into the deep waters of how we view animals both literally an figuratively.

Cute piglets right? Well, they are actually part of a massive Wild Boar invasion run amok on the prairies, Ontario and all over the US. They cause millions in damage, DESTROY crops, land and tip the scales at 300 kilos /600 lbs, so good luck if they charge you. ⁣

Biologist Ryan Brook from has been studying them for years and says wild boar population in Saskatchewan is going to overtake humans before in our lifetime. 🐗 😱

He wants them eradicated. But it’s not that simple, and not everyone agrees with the approach. His story of tracking the feral swine and how they outsmart humans had me riveted. ⁣What did you think? 🤔
