Nature Boy on CKTZ this Wed. 9:30 AM will feature my interview with Julio Preller.
Twenty years ago he had already gone 26 times to Antarctica!
I had the pleasure of working with him in the Canadian High Arctic while working as naturalist guide for Cruise North Expeditions in the same period.
It is, I believe, one of the most interesting interviews I've conducted.... I ask the questions- HE delivers!
Listen to how you can catch - safely- an Emperor Penguin-(for research) -they stand nearly 3 1/2 feet tall, and they incubate their eggs in the middle of an Antarctic winter! We're talking 50-60C below!

Julio's easy going manner and in-depth overview is truly outstanding.
His perspective on 'wildlife' viewing is very revolutionary...
Shows of 'nature boy' are repeated Sundays's at 1PM and archived on the CKTZ -nature boy website- along with past episodes..
