  • How we became bird guides: Alex Harper interviews George, Mollee, and Alvaro
    Jun 6 2026

    This week, we’re turning the tables. Instead of interviewing a guest, Alex Harper takes over hosting duties and puts the Life List Podcast hosts in the hot seats to chat about how they became professional birding guides, what they do and don't like about their profession, and what their jobs are like.

    P.S. Thanks to our friends of the pod in this episode's cover photo - Jeff, Angela, and Surya!
