#24 Mat Goodman - Capturing the Intimate Lives of Wild Animals

The Wild Podcast

Mat Goodman is pretty much the David Attenborough of New Zealand (our words, not his), except he's behind the camera not in front of it. He's been all over the world making wildlife documentaries, having intimate encounters with lions and tigers and bears - and a whole lot more.

The latest project he worked on is a documentary series for the BBC called Serengheti, which is all about the wild animals of Africa.

We talk about his unlikely path to becoming a filmmaker, some of his craziest work stories, including being charged at by bull elephants, and many of the conservation issues he's come face-to-face with on the job.
