Ep. 78: Bear Lady Kay
Kay Grayson was by no means a conventional woman. After leading a wild life living on boats and training attack dogs, she settled in North Carolina where she fell in love with black bears. Kay took her love of bears farther than most, by feeding the bears and allowing them to live in her trailer with her. But when she's found dead one day, authorities are left to wonder if the bears she loved so much caused her demise.

Ep. 77: Surviving Bear Encounters (feat. Daryl Ratajczak)
When is it time to scare them off, and when is it time to back off? Should you really fight black bears back, and play dead with a grizzly? What are the best practices while camping in bear country? Bear expert Daryl Ratajczak is on this week to answer all these questions for us and more.
Daryl has years of experience in rehabbing black bears, working as a wildlife biologist for the state of Tennessee, and giving educational talks and programs about bears through his company Wildlife For You. You can follow Wildlife For You on Facebook here. -
Ep. 76: India's Big 3 (Feat. Mathen "Rajeev" Mathew)
I had the pleasure of speaking with wildlife researcher and human-wildlife conflict specialist, Mathen "Rajeev" Mathew, about the animals he studies that cause some of the most dramatic conflicts in India: Tigers, leopards and elephants. I was stunned by how many attacks occur by each of these animals a year, and we dive into why these attacks and deaths happen. Just be warned, it does get graphic.

Ep. 74: The Truth Behind the Screen
What's really going on behind the scenes in all those 'cute' videos of people interacting with their pet jaguars, tigers, leopards, and bears? Can people really get that kind of social media content without ever being injured? And are the animals really taken care of?
In Part 1 of this episode, I sit down with wildlife ecologist and science communicator Sophiane Nacer (@HonkIfURHoary) to go over the extensive research she did on Single Vision Inc., the 'organization' behind the popular TikTok accounts SingleVision and SafariSammie. We go over some of the abuse going on behind the scenes, and in Part 2 (which is available now on Patreon) we go over some criminal charges lingering over the organization and some deaths caused by a very similar 'organization'.

Customer Reviews
Informative
Informative and keeps my attention. Some opinions/hobbies are held by the hosts that some listeners may find controversial, but this doesn’t particularly bother me as we’re all just eggs fr. I like that this is a podcast dedicated entirely to recounting real life animal attacks, and the guest experts are a nice touch.
Highly Recommended
Love this idea for a podcast. Takes a serious topic & then explores ways around the situation. Really good fun & the hosts work so well together.
