“We aim to entertain and educate people with interesting stories about the incredible animals that have made an impact on the world’s history or been lost to it. There is no end of material and we look forward to a long run of talking about cool and wiped out animals.” says Reitman of the podcast, the latest of a number of digital projects his company has undertaken in recent years.
