  • Top shelf

    Really enjoy this show- I always learn something interesting. But the main draw for me is the host. In addition to being an engaging interviewer, Robin seems like someone you’d like to hang out with, someone who shows up to dinner with a bottle of top shelf tequila or gin and a pan of banoffee.

    Throughly enjoy listening to the podcast and hearing about nature as in so many different walks of life. Would highly recommend his moss skills if you’re ever in a pinch in the woods.

  • Boney rope toss!

    This show is great. It’s as good as retrieving a lost arrow from a tree that you had long given up on with a rope and moose bone! Bonus points if you use an accent

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP102: Finding Artistry in the Hunting Industry ↣ Doug Cockroft From Splitting Image
Q: But I'd love to hear about that. How did you transition from PH work to taxidermy and starting your own studio?
I didn't see myself as a taxidermist at first. A client invited me to learn, I took a short course, and despite a rough start, the anatomy and the possibility of storytelling through the craft hooked me. Over time, mentorship, hard work, and opportunities within the industry helped me build Splitting Image and expand into a real business with skilled staff and a regional impact.
EP81: Knowing Our Role in Nature ↣ John Anderson From Nevada Wild
Q: When did you realize game wardens existed and that this was the career for you?
A formative experience in Alaska shadowing a game warden while I was a student opened my eyes to the real-time, on-the-ground blend of enforcement and biology, which convinced me this was the path I wanted, especially after seeing how investigations come together from field work to courts.
EP91: Delivering The Mission ↣ Tudor Caradoc-Davies
Q: What's the right amount of gear for a trip?
You need enough to cover likely conditions, but experience teaches you to refine, share weights with a group, and avoid overpacking by focusing on essential gear and a few trusted flies.
EP91: Delivering The Mission ↣ Tudor Caradoc-Davies
Q: Do you tie your own gear?
Yes, I do, though not as much as I used to; I've built my own arrows and bows and enjoy the hands-on aspect of tying flies as a deep part of the craft.
EP91: Delivering The Mission ↣ Tudor Caradoc-Davies
Q: What did you show them in that pitch? Did you have a visual?
We showed a PDF of our first issue, about 80-90% done, including a cover shot from Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, which helped brands see the direction and energy we planned, and they jumped on board.
