Dr. Catherine Raven

Season 1 Episode 34 | Posted on: July 17, 2023

Episode Description

Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books.

Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write.

By her own admission, Dr. Catherine Raven is more comfortable in nature than among people.

The biologist, university lecturer and former U.S. National Park Ranger lives off the grid in the wilderness of Montana. Her prizewinning memoir, Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship, tells the fascinating and moving story of her unexpected and transformative friendship with a wild fox. It is both a hymn to empathy and a reminder that we share more than our habitat with our fellow creatures.

Join Catherine and Red as they probe the limits of the scientific method and discuss the role of storytelling and intuition in defining our place in the world.

My Life in Books airs Mondays at 1 p.m. Eastern on AMI-audio, or download the podcast from your favourite provider via this link: https://www.ami.ca/My-Life-Books/recent_episodes
