The Wild with Chris Morgan
Welcome to Season 7!
The Wild with Chris Morgan is a celebration of the natural world and the people devoted to wild places and incredible species. This season, host and ecologist Chris Morgan will bring us face to face with some of the most extraordinary creatures finding unique and inspiring ways to adapt and thrive in environments under increasing stress. From America’s biggest cat, the jaguar, trying to navigate the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico to humpback whales coming back to the shores of British Columbia to hummingbirds surviving in the brutal Arizona desert. We’ll explore the species through the elements of land, water, and air to discover the miracles and oddities that make mother nature so endlessly fascinating.
The Wild with Chris Morgan is a production of KUOW and Chris Morgan Wildlife, with support from Wildlife Media. It is produced by Matt Martin and Lucy Soucek. It is edited by Jim Gates. It is hosted, produced and written by Chris Morgan. Fact checking by Apryle Craig. Our theme music is by Michael Parker.
