Aussie Wildlife Show Chats with Josh and Stef
23 July 2026
Before Josh and Stef embarked on their epic Deadly Sciences fundraising trek along the Larapinta trail, they made a special pit stop in South Australia to catch up with Adrian Sheriff and Dianne Pearson on the Aussie Wildlife Show.
With both Reptile Encounters and Animals Anonymous approaching two decades in the industry, it was the perfect moment to reflect on where wildlife education is headed.
The group dove into some big questions:
What does the future of zoos look like?
How can we continue to improve animal welfare?
And, perhaps most importantly, how do we keep inspiring people to protect the natural world?
From heartfelt discussions on the plight of dingoes and insights into the design of a new Phillip Island site, to the relatable struggles of running a business while trying to sneak in a holiday, this episode is a must-listen for any wildlife enthusiast.

Reptile Encounters would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land, the people of the Kulin Nation, who have never ceded sovereignty. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
