Listen Again: Julia Gets Wise with Jane Goodall
10/1/202559 min
Jane Goodall passed away at the age of 91. To honor her immense legacy, we wanted to share the extraordinary conversation she and Julia had one year ago.
On the Season 3 premiere of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down with visionary scientist and conservationist Jane Goodall. The pair discuss Jane’s trailblazing work in Gombe, and how she uses storytelling to drive change. Plus, Julia and her mom Judith discuss the thrilling prospect of surviving a camping trip, courtesy of Julia’s bestie, Paula—because what better way to bond than trying to survive in the wilderness?

Hey, listeners. It's me, Julia. We're back for Season 3 of Wiser Than Me, and we have so much more wisdom to share from the legendary older women who have joined me this season. I can't tell you the number of times when I'm having these conversations, I find myself scrambling for a, like a piece of paper or a napkin, or whatever I can find on my desk to quickly jot down some nugget that my guest is sharing in our conversation. I mean, you've probably had the same experience, right? Well, guess what? Problem solved. We have created brand new Wiser Than Me notebooks with fun sayings on the cover like, "Get wise," or, "Wise up," so you can keep all your new-found wisdom in one place. We just added these groovy hardcover notebooks to our merch shop. To buy yours, head over to wiserthanmeshop.com today. (instrumental music plays) Lemonada. In California, when you live near the mountains like I do, every once in a while, you get to see a bear or even a mountain lion, and it's a reminder of the wild world this place used to be and that we've tamed it thoroughly and perhaps tragically, but not completely. So, when the opportunity came for our family to go to the Galápagos Islands many years ago, the miraculous volcanic archipelago off the coast of Ecuador, we knew exactly how lucky we were, and boy, off we went.
