For The Wild is a slow media organization dedicated to land-based protection, co-liberation, and intersectional storytelling. We are rooted in a paradigm shift away from human supremacy, endless growth, and consumerism. Our work highlights impactful stories and deeply-felt meaning making as balms for these times.

Thank you so much for the depth of the interviews. For the Wild is one of my best podcasts, and easy to listen for French speakers :)
Lost me the first 3 times Alok’s name was mispronounced
The new short format is not that satisfying, issues can barely be touched on and then we are directed to pay for the classes. It’s disappointing bc this form of monetizing deprives the listening experience… It’s really important content, too bad I’m too broke in disability to keep paying and paying for subscriptions
This is the kind of content I want when I want to learn but don’t want to add to my overwhelm and stress. I feel calmer, energized, and grounded after listening to episodes (instead of activated and stressed like other media).
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and just love everything about it. It’s so insightful and just beautiful. I always learn something new and am made to feel more relaxed by the end of each episode. Loving the website, zines, films and learning tools.

Ayana Young leads reflective, place-based conversations and audio documentaries about land, ecology, foodways, culture, and ways of living beyond consumerism and human-centered assumptions.
