    Hal Herring brought me to the podcast. The topics discussed by Ed Roberson and guests are consistently interesting and informative. I travel by motorcycle all around Canada, U.S. and Mexico… these pods have kept me engaged for many miles on the road

  • Out West

    Living in Los Angeles, how does one stay in touch with the people and places that matter to the art and ecology of this country’s natural spaces? This podcast is one of the best out there for this purpose. Ed does a great job of interviewing his guests, and his guests really enjoy being there! After listening, I always come away a little bit more informed than before. Keep up the great work, Ed!
