Through real stories and raw moments, the show explores what they do, why it matters, and what we can all learn from their connection to the natural world.
If you’ve ever felt the call of the wild — or want to understand it better — this show is for you.

Episode 4 - Guardians of the Deep: Protecting Whales and Dolphins with WDC
Whales and dolphins are more than just ocean giants—they’re vital to the health of our entire planet. In this episode of Echoes of the Wild, Matt sits down with Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) to explore why these marine mammals matter, the threats they face, and the powerful work being done to protect them.
From ending deliberate harm like whaling and captivity to tackling bycatch, vessel strikes, and ocean noise, WDC leads the charge for safer seas and stronger protections. You’ll hear stories from the field, insights into policy and advocacy, and how public engagement can spark real change.
