Description

Northern Latitudes is a podcast about what happens when we slow down long enough to really pay attention to the landscapes we live in, move through, and depend on.

Hosted by Bill Ault, the show explores the intersection of nature, science, culture, and from across Canada and beyond. Conversations range from ecology and conservation to health, history, outdoor adventure, and the quieter human stories that connect us.

At its core, Northern Latitudes is curious and grounded. It’s about thoughtful conversations with people who spend their lives asking good questions — scientists, authors, researchers, photographers, filmmakers, and advocates who help us see familiar places in new ways.

Episodes often return to a few recurring themes:

• Our relationship with the natural world
• How science and lived experience inform each other
• What it means to live well
• Why place still matters in an increasingly digital world

Whether recorded in a studio or shaped by time spent outdoors, Northern Latitudes aims to leave space for reflection — and to remind listeners that the stories tied to land, climate, and community are never abstract. They’re personal.

The podcast also features re-broadcasts of past conversations that remain especially relevant, giving listeners a chance to revisit ideas that hold up over time.

Northern Latitudes is for anyone who feels at home outside, values curiosity over certainty, and believes that paying attention is a form of care.
