Live broadcasts

The wild, streamed live. And it talks back.

A guide stands in the field in Africa while your group watches on any screen — and answers their questions out loud, in real time. Not a recording. A conversation.

Who LIVE is for

Nobody should miss the wild because they can’t reach it.

It started at children’s hospitals and has expanded far beyond them. For a child in treatment, an isolated elder, or a young person who rarely gets outside, a live encounter with the wild can be the brightest moment of a hard week, whatever their health, mobility, or means.

A two-way window to the wild

Not a video. A real conversation.

This isn’t a recording playing on a screen. A live guide is right there in the field — reading the room, following the questions, answering in the moment.

A child asks why a zebra has stripes, and finds out from someone standing feet away from one.

It’s nature education that feels less like a lesson and more like a window thrown wide open.

LIVE is exponentially helpful to a patient’s mental health, overall well-being, and in their overall recovery.

Abbie Kreider Seacrest Studios, Dallas Children’s Hospital

Our kids are looking to connect, and LIVE does that and keeps it entertaining at the same time. The production is really outstanding.

Elyse Cann Benioff Children’s Hospital, Oakland

The guides don’t hesitate to spend as much time as needed on any question, and they’re great at adjusting to the content and age we’re presenting to.

Questions

Everything an administrator asks.

Short answers to the practical questions, so you know what you’re saying yes to before you send the form.

Ask us something else

Nothing. LIVE is funded entirely by donors and sponsors, so there is no cost to your hospital, school, or care facility, ever.

Most run about 30 to 45 minutes, including live question time. We can shorten it for younger groups or shorter attention windows. Just tell us on the request form.

Mornings, US time. That lands in late afternoon in Africa, the golden hour when animals are most active. It works out well for both ends.

A screen and an internet connection. That’s the whole list. A TV, a laptop, a tablet, or a projector all work. We handle the rest of the technical setup.

Yes. That’s how it already works at our partner hospitals. Broadcasting through your in-house channel means every patient room can watch, including children who can’t leave their bed.

There’s no cap. One group in a common room or an entire building watching from their rooms. The broadcast scales either way.

A few weeks is comfortable, and we can often move faster. Send the request and we’ll come back with the next available dates.

Only if your facility wants them to. The broadcast works one way by default. Your group sees and hears the guide, and questions come through your staff or the chat. No patient is ever recorded or shown without your team’s say-so.
