Random Nature
I'm Christy Hyman and I am a geographer who loves birds and the outdoors. I talk to academics about how they view nature and how much or how little they embrace it into their lives.
Random Nature
Madeleine Fritz Hooper, PhD
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Madeleine gives us a glimpse of her interactions with Nature through recalling her time as a child loving horses, taking adventures as a college student, and reflecting on the gifts of her father from that she treasures.
At the end of the episode, Madeleine's Great Pyrenees does a trick that causes her to speak to him.
