Seal the Deal: Saving Fluffy Lives
They’re tiny. They’re fluffy. They make heartbreaking squeaks. In this wild (and wildly adorable) podcast, I swap the saddle for seal pups as I dive flipper-first into life at a coastal wildlife rescue centre. From bottle feeds to blubber baths, I'm learning what it really takes to save these ocean babies. Expect squeals, splashes, and serious awws. Warning: listening may cause uncontrollable urges to adopt a seal (or cry happy tears).
