Strap on your binoculars and lace up your boots: A Field Guide to Gay Animals explores sexuality, gender, and joy in the animal world.

Hosts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan-Levenson take you on a quest to see beyond the natural world as we know it and into the natural world as it is: queer as f*ck.

Homosexuality has been documented in over 1,500 species of animals. From gay geese and bisexual bison to lesbian elephant love affairs and all-male, all-whale orgies, expressions of same-sex action in the animal queendom are all around us.

Owen and Laine are your intrepid guides to investigate this variety of animal behaviors – exploring the depths of the ocean, the heart of the forest, and the bushes in your backyard – to dive deep into nuanced conversations about queerness in the animal world.

Cheeky and contemplative, curious and raunchy, Field Guide shows you the natural world is more exuberant, more joyful, and more gay than you could possibly imagine.

Coming in June, 2024.

Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.

Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble.

The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.

Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.

Climate action.

Words that can inspire a declaration of ‘I haven’t got time for that!’... as you juggle the kids, PE kits, lunch boxes and your other half, who you seem to have mislaid somewhere between the front door and the car.

A squeal of ‘Where do I even staaarrrt?’ as you cry into your pillow in overwhelmed despair.

Or a dismayed ‘What’s the point? It’s too late!’ as you cry frozen tears into your comforting ice cream.

We hear you.

We all want a better, greener, fairer future for the kiddies in our lives, but the conversation can be so gloom filled and depressing, eh? And all that doomy gloom in the room just leads to action paralysis.

Well not here.

Join the glorious combination of Aussie and Northern England accents provided by hosts Sally Giblin and Helen Hill. We chat to fabulously knowledgeable peeps who are taking action and giving us hope in all corners of the (errrm, round) globe.
