Becky Ripley and Emily Knight make sense of what it means to be human by looking to the natural world... Science meets storytelling with a philosophical twist.
Weekend Birder helps you notice everyday birdlife through stories and science.
Based in Australia, the podcast shares conversations and reflections that help you pay closer attention to the birds around you - whether you’re new to birdwatching or have been noticing birds for years. Episodes move between behaviour, sound, ecology and research, alongside the real moments that happen in backyards, bushland, beaches and city streets.
You’ll hear from ecologists, writers, artists and bird-curious people, with learning shared along the way rather than taught. There’s no jargon and no gatekeeping - just shared curiosity and a warm, welcoming place to build confidence and keep wondering.
Weekend Birder is hosted by Kirsty Costa, who brings science into everyday language and creates space for stories, questions and quiet moments of noticing.

Steve Backshall, Lizzie Daly and Sarah Roberts bring you a wildly entertaining nature show filled with adventure, behind-the-scenes stories, and fascinating facts. Think: unexpected encounters, jaw-dropping science, and nature like you’ve never heard it before.
Every Tuesday join adventurer, explorer and broadcaster Steve Backshall, wildlife biologist Lizzie Daly, and journalist Sarah Roberts as they dive deep into the wonders of the natural world. From braving Arctic extremes to swimming with sharks, each episode begins with a bold superlative—Flamboyant, Freezing, Venomous—and unfolds into their remarkable tales of the wild.
Then, every Friday, it’s your turn. Our Q&A episodes tackle your most need-to-know nature questions—from how not to become bear food to how long is an elephant’s trunk?
Because the world is wild, its wonders are endless—and we’re here to tell the stories that prove it.
