  • More Jim Corbett!

    Love the show! I especially enjoy the stories about Jim Corbett. I’m hopeful you will soon tell the story of the Talla Desh Man-eater. This is one of my favorites as it tells the story of Jim’s grit, courage and determination to make right the mistakes he made in hunting this Man-eating Tiger.

    I have enjoyed all your podcasts so far. Might I suggest the Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek for an In-Depth episode? A fascinating story from Banff in the early eighties.
