Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 187: The Price of Speaking Up: Fined $29,000 for Walking in the Woods | Jeff Evely
Q: How did you end up facing a woods ban and what did you try before taking it to court?
I challenged the ban after a 2023 incident when forests and parks were closed due to wildfires; after learning from the initial court ruling, I pursued judicial review again in 2025 and, with support from civil-liberties groups, pushed the case forward.
Ep. 184: The Secret Language of Animals: How to Hear What the Wild is Saying About You | George Bumann
Q: What is the single most important thing I can start doing right now to begin understanding the language of the animals around me?
Being quiet, sitting still, and listening is the foundational practice to start understanding animal languages.
Ep. 183: Charged by a Brown Bear at 2 Meters - Torkel Norling on Tracking, Stress & the Never-Quit Mindset
Q: How does stress management and mindset influence success in tracking wounded game?
Mental conditioning, vast experiential learning, and a never-quit attitude are pivotal; performers train to stay calm, visualize action steps, and use simple, repeatable processes to react optimally under threat.
Ep. 172: He Sold His House to Follow His Dream: Jesse Reardon’s Fishin' With Dad Story
Q: Right? You can only sabotage so many things in your life, right? Talk to me about that.
Jesse explains that the fear of failure and past doubts nearly stopped him, but ultimately he chose to push through, reframe 'imposter syndrome' as a driver to prove it to himself and others, and commit to building the Fishing With Dad Show despite the risks.
Ep. 179: Melt Your Face Off Hot Wing Challenge | The Wild Kitchen x Silvercore
Q: Why did you start The Wild Kitchen Podcast?
I think there's people that I wanted to talk to. And podcast gives me an opportunity to talk to these people and ask them questions.
