Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

223. The Outdoor Literacy Gap No One Talks About with Natalie Teboul
Q: What does a typical experience look like for a student using these maps?
Students print a free map template, plot points at public lands, create their own maps, then watch ranger videos embedded on a Story Map to extend learning digitally.
223. The Outdoor Literacy Gap No One Talks About with Natalie Teboul
Q: How did you get interested in outdoors and bring it into your work?
A road trip during the pandemic opened her eyes to public lands; after teaching online, she created maps to bring outdoor experiences into the classroom, eventually connecting parks with stories and videos.
Hiking in Bear Country? Bear Biologist, Sydney Stephens, Wants You To Learn to Coexist [REPOST]
Q: So what was that progression like and did you initially attend university for these things?
She describes starting in pre-vet and veterinary clinics before shifting into research; after a month in a lab she realized research would be her path, particularly in behavioral and nutritional ecology, which allowed her to pursue large carnivore work.
Burgum Struggles to Defend Budget, DOI Transfers 1.4M Acres to State, and Controversial Predator Control Program Resumes - Public Lands News (May 4-15)
Q: Can you talk a little bit about when the predator control program started, how it progressed, and what happened on May 6th?
The program began with rushed, behind-closed-doors planning, followed by aerial removal of bears and wolves, which was later deemed unconstitutional by a judge due to lack of proper process and scientific backing; the May 6 ruling allowed limited resumption but under scrutiny of legal and scientific standards.
222. Circular Economy or Greenwashing? How Gear Trade-In Programs Really Work with Pancho Gomez
Q: What should a consumer look for to ensure a program is ethical and aligned with sustainability goals?
Look for clear disclosures about the program's next-best-use paths, evidence of ongoing impact reporting, third-party certifications like B Corp, and whether the program supports local or transparent recovery options, rather than vague assurances. If the credit can be used for both used and new items, it's generally a positive sign; if not, it may raise questions about the program's aims.
