Ep 105 – Dublin Buzz
0:19:11 | May 19th, 2026
Every year, on the 20th of May we take the time to celebrate one of the most important pollinators the world has. The humble bee. And this year we headed to a spot you wouldn’t immediately associate with bees; a Dublin Bus Garage in Phibsborough. There we met Irwin and Paul, two employees turned volunteer beekeepers.
Ep 104 – Squirrelled
0:27:12 | May 13th, 2026
This week’s Ecolution looks into a really positive nature story; how one keystone species can have a wider impact on the broader ecosystem. Dr Colin Lawton from University of Galway talks about how the resurgence of the pine martin over the past 50 years has led to a flourishing of red squirrels, once badly affected by the invasive greys.
Ep 103 – The Dawn Chorus Concert
0:17:13 | May 6th, 2026
We woke before sunrise in Killarney National Park to experience the dawn chorus — nature’s incredible morning concert. Joined by ecologist Irene Sullivan, we discover why birds sing at dawn, how birds help biodiversity, and what birdsong can tell us about the health of our environment
Ep 102 – Beavering away
0:30:22 | April 29th, 2026
This week we speak to the brilliant Emily Fairfax PHD, an Ecohydrologist at the University of Minnesota, about her work documenting the lives of one of the most important ecosystem engineers in the world; the beaver. And how she came to help in the making of Pixar’s new film “Hoppers”.

For our hundredth episode Evie spoke with the unstoppable, inspirational and inimitable Liz Bonnin to hear all about her astounding career as a TV presenter and campaigner bringing the wonders of the natural world to our screens. And Liz answered questions from kids across Ireland.
Ep 99 – The Ocean Cleanup
0:29:51 | July 23rd, 2025
The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization developing and scaling technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. We spoke with Matthias Egger, their Director of Environmental & Social Affairs about how he became involved, how they work so effectively and why he has hope for the future.

This is so good! We love to get out into the forest and enjoy some quiet time, but alas I think we might just be bringing the noise with us ha
