Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 160 ratings
  • Short episodes, dense with useful information

    Unlike many podcasts, with episodes that go on for hours (literally), The Articulate Fly is brief, punchy and to the point. Very refreshing.

  • Learning with the Articulate Fly

    Always an insightful conversation. I learn a lot from most episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S8, Ep 80: A Season in Patagonia: Steve Ramirez on Writing, Radical Empathy and Hope in Action
Q: What suggestions do you have for people about how to maintain faith in their agency and to stay engaged and keep driving forward?
He recommends identifying what can be done, taking personal agency and acting on concrete possibilities instead of viewing oneself as powerless. He describes small actions, such as feeding birds, as a way to begin.
S8, Ep 80: A Season in Patagonia: Steve Ramirez on Writing, Radical Empathy and Hope in Action
Q: How did you get to where you are today?
Ramirez says lifelong curiosity and connection to nature shaped his perspective, while his experiences in the Marines and criminal justice made him feel an urgency to act and share what he had learned.
S8, Ep 76: The Truth About Rod Action: Mac Brown's Guide to Better Casting Techniques
Q: What do you have left and where should people go to find them?
Brown says one spot remains in a November school and directs listeners to the date menu on his website for school dates and the 2027 schedule.
S8, Ep 76: The Truth About Rod Action: Mac Brown's Guide to Better Casting Techniques
Q: So faster is not always better, right?
Brown says medium-action rods are easier for many anglers to learn with because they offer a longer stroke and wider timing window, while also helping with line control and playing fish.
S8, Ep 78: From Bass to Big Sky: Eric Hurst on Boat Tunes, Big Flies and Keeping It Real
Q: Could you tell us a little bit about those two patterns and what you went through to get Umpqua to put them in the catalog?
Umpqua approached Hurst after seeing his tying. He sent the company the Thrasher, named for Georgia's state bird and its brown coloration, and the Agent Scully, a sculpin pattern with an X-Files-inspired name. Both patterns were accepted, and Umpqua produces them in standard and mini sizes.
