Feral by Design
Feral by Design is a podcast that uses biomimicry to steal nature’s smartest strategies for human chaos.
Each episode starts with a messy real-world problem, turns to a creature that’s already solved something similar, looks at their strategies and follows the thread you didn’t see coming. Sometimes it lands on one idea, sometimes a few - but it always lands somewhere useful.
Grounded in real science, told through self-deprecating stories, and always surprisingly practical.
Biomimicry made accessible, useful, and genuinely fun.
Nature owns the patent. We get to copy it.

Part 1 of the Feral Festive Special: the prawn. Yes, really.
This festive run goes rogue - nature-inspired, not biomimicry - a deliberately Feral detour for December's chaos. We're diving into the prawn's soft-shell phase: that blink-and-you-miss-it moment where they ditch their old shell, stretch like hell, and grow before anyone notices. Chaotic. Unprotected. Maximum transformation.
Tell me that's not peak December energy.
If you're rolling into the end of the year feeling overcooked, under-armoured, or weirdly molten inside, this episode will make you laugh, wince, and feel slightly better without trying.
Happy holidays!
