  • Best Episode Yet (IMO)

    WOW! Just listened to The Ancient Sport of Falconry, and it’s my favorite so far. I have always admired birds of prey and they are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. While I knew of the use of birds of prey for hunting, I never really understood all that goes into it. Thank you for covering such an interesting topic. I still say that the enthusiasm in which Jill approaches these podcasts is contagious and helps make the podcasts as interesting as they are. Keep up the great work
