About This Podcast
Feral by Design is a podcast stealing nature’s smartest strategies for our everyday chaos. Short, playful episodes grounded in real science, told through messy, self-deprecating stories. Some dive into real-world examples, others explore fresh frameworks inspired by nature. It's Biomimicry with the door left open: smart ideas from nature, made relatable, practical, and surprisingly fun. Nature owns the patent - we get to copy it.
