Opossums with Dr. Cecilia Hennessy

Opossums with Dr. Cecilia Hennessy

I received an e-mail from Dr. Cecilia Hennessy of Eureka College asking me about an article I wrote back in 2015. She was wondering what I meant by the North American Continent because I wrote that opossums were the only marsupial in the North American continent. Well to make a short story even shorter, it turns out that my statement wasn’t true. Opossums are not the only marsupial in North America. Turns out, however, that I am not the first person to make such a claim. She wanted to find out where I saw that reference because she is trying to find the original source of the claim.

Opossums are NOT the only marsupial in North America.

By the way, if you happen to know of a source that says opossums (Didelphis virginiana) are the only marsupial in North America, Dr. Cecilia Hennessy would love to hear from you.

Well, we struck up a conversation and I offered her the opportunity to come on my Living the Wild Life podcast. She agreed. You can listen to our conversation and hear/see me admit that I was wrong. We also discuss opossums and ticks, her research and other issues related to wildlife.

So click the link to hear my conversation and learn more about opossums with Dr. Cecilia Hennessy.

Pest Geek Podcast

One of the key benefits of the smartphone lies in its ability to open up a world of educational opportunities for their owners. If you are like me, you have a lot of alone time during the day where you are doing some easy task that doesn’t require a lot of mental energy. This means you have mental energy to do something else. Rather than listen to some silly song on the radio, why not put that time to good use by expanding your education? Podcasts are a great way to do that. I am proud to announce that I am one of the regular contributors to the Pest Geek Podcast. The Pest Geek Podcast is about all things related to pest control.

My podcast, “Living the Wildlife”, publishes once a week. I cover topics related to wildlife control, also known as vertebrate pest control or animal damage control. If you are interested in expanding your business into the wildlife control field or just want to hone your skills on wildlife control or insect control, then let me invite you to try a few episodes of the Pest Geek Podcast.

Wildlife Podcast

Living in Montana, I have found listening to podcasts and audiobooks to be a great way to continue learning while I drive in this great state. It is amazing how much you can learn while driving and it is certainly more educational than listening to the music or political noise on the radio. Followers of Wildlife Control Consultant, LLC, know that the company is deeply committed to education. The company provides education through writing articles, books, and providing presentations and on-site training and consulting. But WCC didn’t provide a wildlife podcast.

Stephen Vantassel of Wildlife Control Consultant, LLC now has a wildlife podcast on the Pest Geek Podcast.

I gave some thought about creating a wildlife podcast or a videocast. I think that listeners/viewers would find the content valuable. But I wondered whether the impact of the wildlife podcast/videocast match the effort? In other words, would there be a return on the investment? I certainly thought about the financial aspect but it’s also about downloads. Would I get enough attention to make the project worthwhile as opposed to being just an expression of ego?

I came across the Pest Geek Podcast. It was catchy and had some good information. It was new. I dropped off listening for a while and recently took it back up. Frank Hernandez seemed to be able to keep the podcast growing and continuing. I listened and noticed that he didn’t have a specialist in wildlife or vertebrate control. I decided to reach out to him and ask if he was interested in a podcast from me on wildlife control related issues and topics. To my surprise, Frank contacted me the next day. He said that he would be interested in having my do a segment.

The result of our conversation is I am pleased to announce that Wildlife Control Consultant, LLC. now has a wildlife podcast segment on the Pest Geek Podcast. My first segment will launch on September 26, 2018. My goal is to have a weekly segment. If you have topics that you would like to have covered, please drop us a line at [email protected]
