About Nature, Nurture & Nonsense

Nature, Nurture & Nonsense is a conservation podcast where family stories meet wildlife science. Hosted by Zimbabwean conservationist Rutendo Shackleton and her five siblings, it mixes wild childhood memories, expert guests, and laugh-out-loud moments to explore our personal connections to nature—without needing a science degree. It’s fun, genuine, and for everyone.
