About this listen

This week Emily and Ray are joined by the brilliant Steve Backshall, naturalist, explorer and presenter of the much-loved wildlife series Deadly 60.


Steve grew up on a small farm surrounded by animals and went on to carve out an incredible career sharing his passion for the natural world. He talks to Emily about everything from hippos and snakes to Raymond’s more mysterious wolf-like habits, as well as life with his wife, Olympic rower Helen Glover.


Steve also tells Emily about his upcoming Deadly Live UK arena tour, a spectacular, action-packed wildlife adventure, and his new book Deadly: My Ultimate Lethal Beasts, full of fascinating facts about the planet’s most extraordinary creatures.


It’s an inspiring, joy-filled chat with one of Britain’s best-loved presenters, a man who may just have stolen Raymond’s heart.


Head to Steve's website for tickets, books and beyond.
