Creating Conservation Podcast is out there!

Hi Friends,
If you have any interest in checking out my podcast on Soundcloud, I would really appreciate it.  Episode 1 is live at https://soundcloud.com/user-619395201

I created the podcast for my masters capstone (Goucher College - Masters in Environmental Studies) because I thought it would be a unique and totally challenging project for me.  It definitely proved to be.  I have much respect for all of the podcasters out there who work so hard to produce free content for listeners.  Podcast producing is a difficult project, especially for some one as...shall we say...technologically challenged.

If you are new to podcasts, don't judge them by mine!  There are many gems out there that are far better produced, better hosted, better written... That being said, if you are a podcast warrior, then please cut me some slack!  I'm a total newbie :)

Creating Conservation Podcast Summary:

Creating Conservation is a one-on-one interview style podcast with informal, friendly, and
sometimes funny conversations about wildlife conservation topics, and tips for living an
environmentally conscious lifestyle. In the show, I will speak with "real" people that I meet at
environmental, wellness, or wildlife focused events, as well as researchers and other
conservation professionals. I will be speaking to my guests about their lives, their inspirations,
their education, and their unique career paths. Additionally, I will be asking them about their
feelings on the state of conservation in the modern world, and their feelings on how the state
of conservation in the modern world makes them feel on a personal level. Creating
Conservation seeks to provide an entry-level look at the lives of conservation conscious
people and serves as an invitation to the public who may be curious or even anxious about the
topics. No matter the level of education the listener might have, they will never be made to
feel inferior or in over their heads when listening to the episodes. Most importantly, Creating
Conservation will take an in depth look at compassion fatigue and how it can profoundly affect
caring and empathetic people. Experts on the subject will provide helpful tips on how to
remain sane amid all of the bad news, and offer tips on how one can become invigorated about
collective efforts to create conservation whenever, and however, we can. I’ve named the show
Creating Conservation to indicate that it can serve as a starting point into the conservation
world, can introduce creative ways to be involved in conservation, and can help a listener who
might be suffering with compassion fatigue to create wellness in their lives.
