The podcast episodes highlight the importance of recognizing and understanding animal cultures, which go beyond the notion that culture is unique to humans.

The episodes explore how the loss of animal cultures, such as the Hawaiian land snails, can have profound implications for conservation efforts. They also discuss the challenges in protecting threatened species and their habitats, and the acts of resistance to defend these cultures.

The episodes feature interviews with experts like Aza Raskin, who is working on using AI to decode and communicate with animals through the Earth Species Project, and Rebecca Giggs, who explores the complex relationship between humans and whales throughout history.
