Short Talk 277 (Listen and Read)

You're listening to Sydney Today on 92.7 FM.

My guest this afternoon is Dr. James Franklin,

a world-renowned paleontologist who has been featured on the Discovery Channel and the Science Network,

as well as in numerous scientific journals and publications.

Over the past year, he's been traveling the globe

conducting groundbreaking research at various excavation sites.

He arrived in Australia yesterday and will depart for New Zealand the day after tomorrow.

I intend to ask Dr. Franklin about Earth Heritage,

a nonprofit organization he founded

that is dedicated to preserving and studying prehistoric fossils and ecosystems.

So, without further ado,

let's dive right into our conversation.
