Feral by Design
Feral by Design is a podcast that uses biomimicry to steal nature’s smartest strategies for human chaos.
Each episode starts with a messy real-world problem, turns to a creature that’s already solved something similar, looks at their strategies and follows the thread you didn’t see coming. Sometimes it lands on one idea, sometimes a few - but it always lands somewhere useful.
Grounded in real science, told through self-deprecating stories, and always surprisingly practical.
Biomimicry made accessible, useful, and genuinely fun.
Nature owns the patent. We get to copy it.

Not another true-crime podcast… unless you count Grand Theft Bio! In this 6-minute intro, Pia shares why she’s obsessed with stealing nature’s best strategies - a little biomimicry, a little human curiosity - and what listeners can expect from this podcast that makes nature and science feel personal and surprisingly useful. Expect short episodes that blend humour, biology, and human messiness - showing how creatures from beavers to octopuses tackle the same challenges we face every day.
If you like your insights a little irreverent, a little wild, and rooted in real research, this pod is made for you.
