ABOUT THIS EPISODE
"I found in nature that kind of the same appeal that I find in books which is: … they're both filled with these rich particularities and they're also … mysteriously universal."
Jennifer Ackerman's What an Owl Knows is a compelling and vivid investigation into one of our world's most beloved and mysterious animals. Ackerman talks with us about her journey to the world of birds, the incredible researchers she worked with on the book, the roles nature plays in daily life and more with guest host Jenna Seery. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Madyson and Mary.
This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Jenna Seery and mixed by Harry Liang.
