Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Protecting Public Lands & Inspirational Advocacy with John Leshy: On Common Ground & Rangers of the Lost Park
Q: Could you explain why you think public lands matter so much and what's at stake for these wild places?
Public lands matter because they are a shared national resource that supports our quality of life, economy, and cultural heritage. They are not guaranteed by the Constitution, so ongoing citizen engagement is essential to preserve them against proposed reforms and sales. The discussion emphasizes that protection hinges on open, inclusive political processes and persistent advocacy.
60: A Love for Pikas, Harrowing Mountain Journeys & Women in STEM with Dr. Johanna "Pika Jo" Varner & Karli Weatherill
Q: What did this pika study entail and how long did it take?
It was a long-term field study starting in 2018 in the LaSalle Mountains, trapping and marking pikas, collecting scat, and then analyzing stress hormones in the lab to relate stress to habitat characteristics and climate stressors.
55: Saving Beached Whales in Florida, Opening Your Senses to the Outdoors, & Wildlife Tees for Conservation with Jim Morris
Q: What advice would you give to young people today about navigating a world with ongoing environmental challenges?
Seek wild places, explore with others, and defend spaces that feel critical. Pair outdoor activity with learning, engage with mentors, and combine that hands-on experience with advocacy—it's through action with good people that you sustain hope and make a tangible impact.
55: Saving Beached Whales in Florida, Opening Your Senses to the Outdoors, & Wildlife Tees for Conservation with Jim Morris
Q: What inspired you to start your t-shirt business in 1976, and how did that evolve into a platform for conservation?
The idea began from a deep curiosity about whales and the hope to protect them, which broadened into environmental activism. A garage start led to a formal operation that could fund and promote conservation groups, with collaborations to print shirts that carried messages about dolphins, whales, and other wildlife, ultimately supporting a range of environmental nonprofits.
53: Why National Parks Are So Cool, Spooky Appalachia & Defending Public Lands with Will DeMan
Q: How did you get into advocacy?
Will describes his background as a history teacher who gradually leaned into advocacy, leveraging his education to inform and empower public dialogue about public lands, especially after wake-up moments during the Doge firings and related policy changes.
