Episode 324-Jennifer Comeau and Milo the Green Mussel

from The Natural Curiosity Project · host Dr. Steven Shepard

You've heard me refer more than once to my friend Liz McKenzie, the Alaska-based filmmaker who made the documentary, "The Singing Planet." Well, a few months ago, Liz was visiting family in northern Florida, and while she was there, we had a chat over Zoom about a handful or projects we're working on together. But while we were talking, she interrupted herself and told me that she wanted to introduce me to someone whom she had met while she was in Florida. "A very interesting person," she told me, "who does the kind of work that you love." Well, that's hard to ignore. So, Liz made an email introduction, and the next thing you know, I was on another Zoom call, this time with Jennifer. And boy, was Liz right. What started with a personal tragedy turned into something very, very special.
