Only in Australia: Snake Makes Surprise Appearance During Podcast Recording
A podcast episode took an unexpected, though very Australian, turn when a snake made an appearance in the roof above a guest who was speaking via video link.
The episode was part of the podcast series Fresh Perspectives, produced by the Sydney-based strategy consultancy The Strategy Group.
Andrew Ward of Regen Farmers Mutual was chatting about greenwashing when the two podcast hosts noticed a snake dangling behind him from the roof of his porch.
Ward had a cool and calm reaction, saying, “It’s only a carpet python,” before continuing with his talk. Credit: Jeffrey Tobias via Storyful
