James O'Brien meets Chris Packham | LBC 

What an utterly fascinating interview.. Such a delightful man. Love Chris.

I love Chris, thanks for this. Watched it now! I agree with James' assessment. Chris is amazing. What an extraordinary brain he has, and how lucky we are to benefit from his diversity.

Thought provoking, illuminating, articulate, a national treasure. Through hearing his time at school it demonstrated to me that it wasn't just me, fascinating, keep up the great work & ignore the detractors, your honesty & passion are amongst your greatest strengths, thank you

We certainly need as many Chris Packhams with his passion and honesty as we can muster. Thanks

That was one of the most interesting and worthwhile things i have watched on RU-vid for a very long time.

Just a wonderful conversation. Thank you for this.

Being bullied by the daily mail is a massive compliment to you Chris 😊

Brilliant interviewee, brilliant interviewer.

Chris is an extraordinary person and this was an extraordinary interview. I had unboundless respect for Chris already, but somehow this stretched those boundaries even further. Thank you both.

I hope Chris has made James realise that he need to give climate change the urgency it requires from all of us and that James will promote it on his show.

Chris is one of those invaluable archetypes that humanity sorely needs to survive. He's chosen a Sisyphean task to balance his happiness on and clearly has the fortitude to pursue it every day until he dies; that's worth the utmost respect in my books!

Such a great bloke.

Brilliant interview. Packham is truly amazing. Your chat revealed a lot about him that we didn't know before. And it was amazing also to learn that you can be exceedingly polite and gracious as an interview, when you want to be. Of course it helps that in this case you are talking to a highly intelligent person and someone whom you admire. Great stuff, well done!

Chris Packham gives us hope. Chris Packham is going up against very powerful interests with deep pockets. He needs our support.

This was excellent. Thank you both.

Im loving the disclosire interviews, so informative. James O'Brien is the best in the business, and this format highlights his expert journalistic skills. Love Chris Pakham, he shares with O'Brien integrity, truth, honesty, and real courage in talking truth to power, two remarkable people.

Chris Packham: Asperger's and Me is a fascinating watch.

Utterly endearing to watch and listen to Chris (and James). James and Chris bring out the best in each other. Big love to all neurodiverse people in the world. Your superpowers are misunderstood and easily dismissed. I will be saving this conversation and will be on my 'occasional watch' rota. Bravo!

Thank you for this interview. I was diagnosed ASC as an adult. Struggling through much of my childhood and adulthood the turning point was seeking a diagnosis. Now I understand more through reading and research, speaking to others. I wish to help support others that might be struggling but don't understand why.

Wonderful Chris Packham. I’ve always liked him but didn’t know much about what he’s done in his life. Keep going at what you love Chris.

Wonderful interview and, at times, profoundly moving especially the very last exchange. Great stuff.

Thank you so much James. I'm a great admirer of Chris and empathise with a lot of his issues. I'm a great admirer of yours too. That was wonderful to watch.,

Wonderful episode , spellbinding.Chris',s passion and everything he overcame to pursue his love of the natural world is inspiring .

Wonderful interview, thank you

Started listening to his audiobook after this fascinating interview. Highly recommended so far

Chris has long been a hero of mine and James is fast becoming one.

Great guest and great interview… thank you❤

Standing with you Chris. An excellent interview, thank you.

I totally love Chris and really love to listen and understand his journey through life ongoing. Riveting. So thought provoking and inspiring.

Chris Packham you are an inspiration. Thank you.

One of our great communicators...inspiring, knowledgable, indefatigable...needed more than ever to help educate as many of us as possible, before it`s too late...

Thank you Chris ❤

What an utterly evolved human...❤

What an incredible individual with a fascinating mind. Also a lovely disposition. Great interview

Brilliant interview, if only we were all a little more like Chris Packham the world would be a far better place. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

Thanks for this interview, I have more of an understanding for my sons who have ASD.

"Art" is expression of feeling. "Science" is observation of fact. Even these guys don't know how to use words anymore.

This interview was wonderful!

The more I listen to these sort of interviews the more I think I must be autistic but I’ll never get tested because I simply don’t see the point at 56 🙂

another national treasure, . . Much love Chris.

Been a fan of Chris since his Really Wild Show days and was lucky enough to see him live when he did his book tour. You could tell he wasn't entirely comfortable, especially because that venue wouldn't allow his dog on stage with him, but he was being interviewed by someone he knew well and seemed to relax, even with some of the more personal topics. His passion for the climate and animal was inspiring. He is someone who stands by his word. People who try to scare or litigate against him soon learn he is the wrong person to do that to. I remember when he was announced as a head of the RSPCA and the angry responses of people saying they would stop their donations, the reason given often - and bizarrely for 'animal lovers' - his view on things like fox hunting. He is perhaps less diplomatic than Attenborough, and not as cheery as Backshall, but that is what we need. My favourite bit of the talk I saw was after talking about going to Malta and Cyprus to protest against the killing of birds, an audience member stood up and said they had been a member of the RSPB for 20 years and had recently won a prize draw....a trip to Cyprus. His response was "I will be on the phone about that tomorrow". Wish I could have been a fly on the wall for that. 😂

Totally absorbing interview! Chris Packman always encourages me to do more for wildlife but I admit I am an armchair conservationist. I really must change this attitude and start to build some nest boxes, creat a pile of old branches and pay more attention to what’s going on in my garden.

Wonderful chat, thank you.

Fantastic interview

Science is something that has to be constantly questioned.

This is incredible. What a great guy. So inspiring. Thank you James and thank you Chris.

Great interview.

Love Chris

I think Chris is amazing, this was a fascinating interview, my daughter is neurodivergent and I can recognise traits they share, this makes me incredibly proud, she will be a trailblazer too

Most humble man I've ever heard speak... Let's see if it rubs off 😂😂😂😂 love you James!!!

Chris has done far more for the environmental cause than almost anybody else and he has brought many along with him.

Must be wonderful to find your passion and dedicate your life to it.

A fine interview!

What an amazing human being!

Wonderful

Excellent 🤩

looking forward to see u in August Chris

Has anyone seen the Young Sheldon??? Could be Chris' story! Brilliant interview

Love you Chris!!!

Do interviews get any better?

I can only say that was just about an acceptable reflection by him, certainly wasn't his best and there is much room for improvement whenever he gets interviewed next time! Seriously Chris, you might be the most self-deprecating human I've ever heard that has, from any observer's point of view utterly no reason to be. How you have championed nature and the joys of the understanding and exploration for multi generations (sorry) of our planet is exemplary. You stand at human's evolutionary apex, exhibiting utter genuinity, principled integrity and unbridled passion which you communicate to others like no other. I'm sorry Chris, but I'm going to have to give you 10 out of 10!

Cool signature tune.

❤️

🥰🥰🥰

Wrong! Science is the art of understanding FACTS

Why hasn't Chris Packham been knighted?

Two National Treasures in conversation what more could you want from an interview. Nothing that's what.

James, never ask a scientist whether they believe in a sky daddy 😂

wow.

At school, never went to a party, never had one

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

....why does James only interview those who only support his views?

You cannot buy the truth but you can fine the truth find.

....don’t forget Chris moyles......

He probably thinks Klaus Schwab is a top bloke.

David Attenborough lives on

turns out if you spend your life being active and in nature you dont actually age....funny that.

2 kings

Truth_ science is a work in progress, as often wrong as right. It is a litany of discovery through risk and experiment and changes according to the acquisition of experience.

Who believes there are weather changing technologies in 2023?

☺♾💜

There's proof vegans don't say hello I'm Chris and I'm a vegan!!!

Don’t know whether he’s ever been tested, but some of those behaviours seem autistic.

James O'Brien used to work for the Daily Mail, The Express and The Spectator don't you know remainers.The right wing press he says he hates in his new book.Didnt bother James when they money helped him buy his house in leafy chiswick though.Remenber this when you tube into his holier-than-thou sermon next time.

When one obnoxious creature meets another.

How boring is this interview,wow,get back to something interesting.

Sycophantic interviews like this are unwatchable.

that porgrame got me hooked on the natural world the realy realy wild show

Two cool men… very Smart🤙🏻

Two colossal bellends for the price of one. Vile.

Chris Packham is a legand. A true class act. He's a very interesting, intelligent, funny and articulate person. He's someone who stands up for what he believes in in an admirable way.

My favourite Full Disclosure. Thank you.

Admire and love this man. I’m different but look the same. Ty Chris

Chris Packham and James O'Brien a dream team of common sense and social justice, wouldn't the world be a better place with these guys in charge.

Chris Packham is a national treasure!

This is a wonderful insight into the problems of autistic young people. All teachers and parents would benefit from listening to Chris on this alone.

Chris & James , 2 gents

Absolutely fascinating person…

I really enjoyed this conversation.

Keep slinging your stone Chris!
