Next Episode: 66. The Okapi Conservation Project! (with Lucas Meers, Program Officer)

Today Jack is joined by the absolutely brilliant Reekelitsoe "Rex" Molapo! She is here to talk all about the project which she cofounded - Conservation Music Lesotho! This incredible organisation seeks to inspire environmental action using the power of music, so Jack and Rex discuss what that means, how they do it and the impact the organisation has seen so far! Whether you are a professional musician or just someone who loves to sing in the shower, this is a fascinating story!


The duo also chat about Rex’s favourite under-appreciated African animal - the Ibis. They share some fun facts, hilarious stories and incredible Ibis impressions!


P.S. Beyoncé, if you're listening, please go work with Rex! (that's right, they somehow talk about Beyoncé on a conservation show)
