58. The Dangers of 'Monkey TikTok' & How to Post Primate Content Responsibly (with Brogan Mace, Creator of Project Simia)

This week Jack is joined by Brogan Mace, the creator of Project Simia! Project Simia is a social media campaign which is looking to promote the conservation of primates, so the duo chat about the issues with how primates are portrayed online. Brogan also helps Jack understand the differences between Apes, Monkeys, Lemurs and other Primates, and in return he tries to convince her that the Orangutan is the greatest of the great apes!

Jack and Brogan also talk about some of their favourite under-appreciated primates. This includes geladas, snub-nosed monkeys and proboscis monkeys (if you're a fan of 'Alien' or 'A Star is Born', you don't want to miss this)!
