Odyssey Discovery Podcast & YouTube Series: Field Notes: Uncovered
Hope you're ready for some serious adventure...
Welcome to Field Notes: Uncovered, a series from Odyssey Discovery.
I’m your host, Kirsten Alburg.
This is a place where we go beyond the surface—into the real stories, real environments, and real work happening in the world of science, conservation, and exploration.
Through conversations with the people in the field, we explore what it actually looks like to do this work—and why it matters.
Because when we connect to the real world, learning becomes something deeper.
Let’s get started.

WELCOME TO THE Odyssey Discovery PODCAST & Channel
Field Notes: Uncovered
In this podcast and YouTube channel, I sit down with scientists, conservationists, and explorers to talk about what their work really looks like—out in the field.
These are honest, unscripted conversations about discovery, challenge, and the realities behind the work we don’t always get to see.
My hope is that through these stories, you feel more connected to the world around you—and the people working to understand and protect it.
Thanks for being here.
