Ken chats with good friend of the podcast Julian Hough, in a followup episode to the Charley-and-Ken driving episode of a few weeks ago. Listening to that episode prompted a bunch of memories in Julian, some good, and some downright terrifying. Some of these stories sounded so good that we had to have him back on the podcast to tell them. Hear about how Julian almost met his end in a driving Molotov cocktail after a 5-day trek across India and Nepal on public transport!

He chats with Frackson Kachiwawa, who is the manager of the Dzalanyama Forest Lodge, in the Forest Reserve of the same name. This is a well-known birding spot, one of the richest sites in the vast miombo broadleaf woodland biome of central Africa.

Charley talks about 5 of his top 10 lifetime bird sightings. Most of these are great adventure stories, in which the chase is more important than the thing being chased. Camping at 13,000 feet in a budget sleeping bag, with only a candle for warmth... all to see a little brown bird... definitely!
In places, the audio is rough in this pilot episode. It will be greatly improved in future episodes.
