Talking Bat
Welcome to the Talking Bat podcast series from BatAbility Courses & Tuition. Every month we interview someone important, influential, inspirational or just darn right bat-tastic from the world of bats or from the wider world of ecology/natural history. These interviews are carried out in a relaxed, conversational style, as we dive deeper into the background of our guests.
