Even though bats may not be the first animal to come to mind when we dream of our fine flying friends, they’re arguably some of the most important we’ve got.
On this episode, we gaze skyward — at dusk — and pay tribute to the best mosquito-eaters around. Bat-loving guests join us to debunk a ton of misconceptions, teach us where bats live, what makes up their diet, what their greatest threats are, and how we can actually share our homes with them.
For this full, live, episode of This Is Nashville, I pre-produced the scenes, pitched the live show, booked all guests and helped with host script.
