Here’s a strange turn of events! The little article I wrote for Narratively got so much hype on social media that it caught the attention of BBC World Service, and they’re interviewing me and one of my snake rescue partners, Adrian Slade tomorrow for their radio program BBC Outlook.
You can read my original article here:
I’d love for folks to check it out and also to give some much deserved kudos to Tim Peacock, the amazing artist Narratively commissioned to illustrate the article. I don’t want to get him spammed by bots, so I’ll just say you can see more of his work by adding .com to his name.
The BBC is unfortunately unwilling to mention the publication or the artist or let me mention them in the interview, because it’s a publicly funded station, and can’t legally promote any private enterprise, so I’ll give them their props here!
I’ve also just learned that a couple of other publications (Long Form, Slate and The Week) have picked up my article from Narratively, so it looks like the story has legs!
