These conversations give you an insight into the lives of creative professionals, from photographers and publishers, to editors, designers and conservationists. I have worked with many talented friends and colleagues and unsung heroes working in the visual arts so I decided to set about interviewing these individuals, to shed new light on what goes on behind the scenes and what it means to be a creative freelancer and make it work as a career. One thing for sure is that all of them have a unique story to tell and this is my chance to share these stories with you.

Talking With Steve Backshall

Right off the bat, I’d like to thank Steve for the fabulous job of engaging children in his endeavors as they are indeed the future caretakers of our planet. It was quite obvious that he values their ideas and opinions.

As a 5th grade teacher of almost thirty years, I fondly remember a subject loved by 100 % of my students was ANIMALS.
His sense of humor whilst fathering three children under the age of 2 added to the enjoyment of the podcast.

I will definitely pass on to my friends with children his LIVE Wildlife Homeschool 0930 Wednesday’s on Facebook.

Thank you Matt for your generosity in spirit by always showcasing other wildlife conservationists. It was a pleasure hearing you and Steve swap stories about your precious children’s love for nature.

Parents, please introduce your children to Steve.
