Episode 10: James Hendry

You might know of James Hendry as a conservationist and wildlife presenter who has been the host and presenter of 50 odd TV shows, including Nat Geo Wild, SABC (South Africa) and CGTN (China). You may instead have read one of his three "and a half" books, Whatever You Do, Don't Run, A Year In The Wild, Back To The Bush, and Reggie & Me, which transport you between the South African wild under the bright African sun and into the zenith of Apartheid in suburban Johannesburg. You might not know him as a rockstar just yet, but he's working on that.

James reveals to Megan Thomas his plans for future creative ventures, which include movie scripts and an addition to his wildlife book series, and he shares his thoughts on the process behind everything he writes and writers he admires. He talks about everything from his original plan to be a musician after university to the commentary he is always hungry to hear: that he’s made people laugh. His books will certainly do the trick on that front, but so will this interview.
