I love this show. I’d loved to have taken a class with Dan, or to be able to go hear Dan and Randall talking whilst I sit there quietly just soaking up their knowledge.

I’ve loved Dan Flores since reading Coyote America.
But this podcast has made me a superfan. His insight and writing has me laughing, tearing up, and experiencing the West on a whole new level. I’m enjoying listening so much that I’m taking longer walks or making up errands to run so I can just listen uninterrupted. The Q&As at the end of each episode are a delight, as well. Keep ‘em coming, please!
