Sea Serpents to Science: Adrian Shine’s Loch Ness Journey 21:54

21:54

In this episode of Life’s Tough: Explorers Are Tougher , host Richard Wiese journeys across Scotland’s legendary Loch Ness with renowned naturalist and monster hunter turned scientist, Adrian Shine. Adrian’s name is synonymous with the Loch Ness investigation. Over the last five decades, he’s gone from wide-eyed believer to skeptical researcher, leading sonar sweeps, underwater camera dives, and ecosystem studies to uncover the truth. He tells the story of his early encounter with what appeared to be a massive creature—only to discover it was a rock—and how that moment changed his approach to science and storytelling. Together on the water, Richard and Adrian explore why humans want to believe in monsters, how Scottish folklore adds fuel to the myth, and why perception often shapes reality more than fact. Adrian explains his shift from monster hunting to studying mud, plankton, and human psychology—and and why Loch Ness remains a mystery not because of what it hides, but because of what we hope to find. Whether you believe in Nessie or not, this episode is a masterclass in observation, humility, and the true meaning of exploration. “If I can’t believe my own eyes, I shouldn’t believe anyone else’s.” — Adrian Shine This is Life's Tough, Explorers Are Tougher, with your host, Richard Weiss.

In this enlightening episode of Life’s Tough, Explorers Are Tougher, host Richard Wiese speaks with Christian Rutz, an animal-tracking pioneer who has spent decades studying the tool-using behavior of birds—especially the brilliant New Caledonian crow. Rutz shares how these birds craft tools from twigs and leaves, challenging long-held beliefs about human cognitive uniqueness. Through riveting stories from fieldwork, Rutz explains how these birds innovate, problem-solve, and pass down knowledge—a sign of culture, not just instinct. The discussion moves from evolutionary biology to conservation, shedding light on how animal intelligence is deeply embedded in their ecosystems. From miniature bird-worn cameras to crow-crafted hooks, Rutz reveals how science is catching up to the remarkable complexity of non-human minds. Listeners are left with a powerful message: animal intelligence is more diverse and widespread than we thought, and we’re racing against time to study and protect it.

Life’s Tough, but JR Harris is TOUGHER… Learn How This Man from Queens Became a Wilderness Trekker! 37:04

for 4 years siden37:04

37:04

When asked what inspired him to get started as a solo backpacker over fifty years ago, JR Harris will tell you it was Richard Burton… and the movie “Alexander the Great.” He was sixteen years old and recalled that Socrates asked Burton’s character if he wanted a short, exciting life or a long, dull one. Thinking about this later that night, he decided he would choose a short, exciting life for himself. Listen as he shares with the host of the Explorers podcast, Richard Wiese, and tells us of his pursuit of “Mountain Man” status! As he made some decisions about the kind of future he wanted, his parents got him involved in the Boy Scouts. He resisted at first but found himself camping in the Catskills the following summer. He learned outdoor survival skills and there, and it afforded him an opportunity to go off on his own, camping all by himself in the woods… and he loved it! According to Harris, it changed him… he was a different kid after that. He loved solitary hiking and camping and the excitement of feeling like he was the only person on the planet. Yes, he found himself in scary situations from time to time but accepted it as part of living that exciting life he yearned for! As an African-American, he realized that he was the only person of color on the trails and never saw anyone that looked like him in the wilderness. He has raised his children with the same philosophy with which his parents raised him. They learned that there are good and bad people that come from all cultures and races. JR has a gift for making people feel at ease and comfortable in open conversations about diversity. He notes that we are more similar than different at the end of the day and that everyone wants the same things out of life. There’s a lot of common ground, and the more exposure you get to other people and cultures, the easier it is to get along.

Life’s Tough, but Geoff Green is TOUGHER… Learn How This Explorer Uses Trips to the Polar Region to Teach About Environmental Science 34:02

for 4 years siden34:02

34:02

He’s led over 120 expeditions to the polar regions. Many of these trips have been in the company of students, educators, artists, and leaders. While others are planning family holidays, Geoff Green prepares to take sixty teenagers to Antarctica with the Students on Ice Program. He took some time to talk with the host of our Explorers podcast, Richard Wiese, and share some of what he’s learned. He’s got “stuff” in warehouses all over the place—heavy-duty clothes and equipment which can be pressed into service on short notice. Geoff tells us that the way to keep kids focused on learning about the environment is to keep them busy physically and mentally with things about which they’re passionate. What does Geoff accomplish during these expeditions? Students learn to connect with themselves, each other, and nature… all on the same trip. He remarks that these journeys have a habit of breaking people down and allowing the real person to come out. The future guardianship of the earth comes down to today's youth, and they are leading the charge to help with environmental causes. Focusing on the next generation of environmental enthusiasts is critical as we move from discovery to solutions in preserving our planet. We know that experiential education works, but how can we make it available to all students? Most students get scholarships to participate in the program, but outreach towards awareness is a challenge. Now that we have youth delegations participating in environmental summits, we can look forward to increasing enrollment in essential programs such as these.

Life’s Tough, but Leela Hazzah is TOUGHER… This Champion Defender of Wildlife Reveals Her Winning Strategy to Save Lions 30:56

for 4 years siden30:56

30:56

From her earliest recollection, Leela Hazzah has loved animals of all types. Still, she has been wildly infatuated with lions and elephants. She was raised in Egypt, where Barbary Lions lived before they became extinct. Leela took some time to sit with the host of the Explorers podcast, Richard Wiese and shared some insights into wildlife conservation. After working in conservation for over twenty years, Leela has discovered that her most significant learning was from spending time living in the Maasai community. In the community, she has been recruiting traditional Maasai warriors to help with her efforts. As Executive Director of the Lion Guardian Program, Leela has learned Swahili and worked with the Maasai warriors. She tells us that the Maasai, the environment, and the lions all interact, and it’s a matter of finding and knowing where the balance lies. She compares the adaptive behavior of the lions with the shifting paradigms for the Maasai. The lions are braver than they were when they were persecuted. On the other hand, women used to be attracted to a man who had killed a lion. Now, women are more attracted to a man who has a job.
