"This April, on the day before her 91st birthday, Jane Goodall recorded the conversation that would make her the oldest-ever guest on the podcast Call Her Daddy. Like Khloe Kardashian and Chappell Roan before her, Goodall sat in a plush pink armchair opposite host Alex Cooper, who lobbed personal questions across the ottoman. Cooper had warned her audience that the conversation "might be a little different" from the usual gossip about sex and relationships."
"Goodall must have told her life story thousands of times, yet she did so with generosity and poise-and, often, impish humor. Born in London in 1934, she spent a wartime childhood in Bournemouth, on England's south coast. In her early 20s, she fulfilled her childhood dream of traveling to Africa after a friend invited Goodall to visit her in Kenya."
Jane Goodall recorded a widely noted conversation in April, the day before her 91st birthday, becoming the oldest guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast. She answered personal questions with humor and recalled early career sexism after National Geographic began supporting her chimpanzee research and put her on its cover in 1963. Goodall reflected that she accepted attention because it let her return to the chimps. Her early major broadcast was the 1965 National Geographic television special Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees. She was born in London in 1934, grew up in Bournemouth, traveled to Africa in her early 20s, and secured work with Louis Leakey.
