In the podcast, Villiers discusses his top four favourite photographs, including the technical challenges behind capturing a herd of elephants drinking under the Milky Way and the beauty of a tigress in an Indian jungle. Villiers also provides insight and advice for aspiring wildlife photographers on how to succeed in the industry.

Additionally, Villiers selects an awe-inspiring image of a Jaguar by photographer Sabine Stols as one he admires. Throughout the episode, Toby and Villiers emphasise the importance of passion, hard work, and sharing knowledge in wildlife photography.
