Can I Run Something By You?
Can I Run Something By You? is a conversation at the crossroads of life, nature, and the human experience. Hosted by Stephanie Adams-Hawkins- an anthropology major, zoo keeper, naturalist, and widowed mother of two feral boys. The show blends personal storytelling, big questions, and field notes from the wild-whether that's working with animals, traveling to places like Botswana, raising kids, or navigating the messy beautiful choices of every dayday life. This podcast examines the intersection of humans and nature.
Each episode is an invitation to pause under the proverbial tree, share stories, and explore how we find meaning in the connections between people, animals, and the world around us. Sometimes it's intimate and reflective, sometimes it's playful, and sometimes it's raw-but it is always rooted in authenticity.
If you've ever thought, "I just need to run this by someone," this podcast is your place to listen in and join the conversation.

Conversations From Botswana: Meet Oné
What happens when a non-traditional older American student from Arizona State University and a University of Botswana student share a tent in the Okavango Delta? In this episode, I sit down with my tentmate, Oné, to relive our time together in the Botswana course and talk about her fascinating graduate research on elephants returning to the wild after being in managed care. From camp life laughs to conservation insights, this conversation captures the heart of what it means to connect across cultures in one of the most remarkable places on earth.
