    #78 There's No Taste Like Home: How To Forage For Wild Foods (And Beyond!) With Alan Muskat

    Is foraging legal? Is it bad for the environment? Is foraging innate or learned? These are the top questions being asked on Google around foraging, a regulating activity that our ancestors depended on to sustain life. Here today to answer our questions and go beyond the technicalities of foraging is Alan Muskat, the founder of the largest foraging education company in the world. In this episode Alan touches on the essence of foraging: feeling safe, feeling provided for, and feeling at home in the world. (And you thought it was just about food!) We also discuss how artificial scarcity pushes us to pay for food rather than collect it for free ourselves, why societal boxes are deadly, and how cities are actually some of the best places to practice foraging.

  2. #75 Lessons For The Writer, The Rebel, And 30-Something-Year-Old With Ken Ilgunas

    31 DE JUL.

    #75 Lessons For The Writer, The Rebel, And 30-Something-Year-Old With Ken Ilgunas

    Ken Ilgunas, author of 3 books including “Walden On Wheels,” has been called many things: a wanderer, pro-hitchhiker, journalist, and Alaskan back country ranger. Now, he’s taken on new titles like “husband” and “dad.” This leads us to ask: What happens to the most adventurous of our society when we enter a phase that calls for settling down, growing roots, and re-entering institutions? It’s a life transition that can feel tricky and hard to navigate. Luckily, Ken candidly shares what he’s learned while walking down this uncertain road that comes with no playbook. In this episode he takes us into the company of strangers by telling stories made of hitchhike magic, ex-cons, and religious hallucinations while thumbing his way thousands of miles across the US. He then pulls us behind the scenes of the writing process where he transforms these gritty life experiences into something worthy of being page-bound. Listen in as we ponder the sacredness of books; how writers risk damaging relationships in the name of creating good art; and how writing changes the narrative about our own lives. “I think to be a good artist, a small percentage of you has to be a sociopath. You have to be willing to sacrifice something in the name of the art.” Ken’s Substack: https://kenilgunas.substack.com/ Second Gear / Podcast Sponsor: https://secondgearwnc.com *Let them know the Unruly Podcast sent you for 10% off! - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online

    #74 How To Go Plant-Based On A Budget With Texas Herbivore Destiny DeJesus

    Have you ever thought about adopting a plant-based diet? Or maybe you’re like me, an old timer vegan who still feels lost in the kitchen. *Enter Destiny DeJesus on stage left* Destiny, creator of Eat Yo Destiny, is here to show us how to eat in a way that helps our bodies thrive, the planet heal, and protects animals from harm. A tiny house livin' vegan in Texas, she highlights how to make plant-based eating affordable by sharing her best money saving tips for the grocery store and beyond. In this episode she reveals how to transition from eating animals to a plant-based diet (even if you travel often), her healthy and easy go-to meals, a fool-proof recipe for crispy tofu, the reality of buying and living in a tiny house, and why food pantries are for everyone. We answer questions from our listeners like, “Does going raw vegan really make your period cramps go away?”, “Have you ever accidentally eaten something that wasn’t vegan?," and most importantly, “How does Scotty like VDog?” 🐶 - Anti-speciesit language tips: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2023/03/31/is-veganism-a-diet-language-tips/ - Eating plant-based on a budget: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2018/07/22/eating-plant-based-on-a-budget/ - Vegan while traveling: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2017/05/01/eat-well-and-travel-vegan/ - Eat Yo Destiny website: eatyodestiny.com - Destiny’s tiny house tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDxngthjVjs - Vegan cream cheese taste test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC-oC7Ex3VE  * Chopped vegan cheese in the Bronx: https://eatplantega.com/  * A quick, affordable, and healthy meal for those on the go: https://katu.com/afternoon-live/cooking-recipes/vegan-spicy-peanut-noodle-salad  * Destiny’s favorite ramen recipe: https://www.veganricha.com/spicy-peanut-butter-ramen/  * Texas Eats Green: https://www.texaseatsgreen.com/ - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online - Unruly email newsletter: buff.ly/4a1bPwT - Join the Unruly Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/unrulytravel - Donate to the podcast: SoundCloud - @unrulystories,

    #72 Cows, Colonization, And Comradery: Exploring The Beyond Human World With pattrice jones

    How are cows, colonization, and comradery all connected? Tune in to today’s episode with pattrice jones, co-founder of a LGBTQ+ led refuge for farmed animals that works at the intersection of social and environmental justice, to find out. At any one moment they care for upwards of 500 residents, forming a multi-species community which has informed the way pattrice navigates, writes about, and changes the world. In this episode jones candidly shares the stories of residents who are brave escapees of animal agriculture and speaks to the ways in which homophobia and speciesism intersect. pattrice also gives practical advice on finding balance in your activism in a world where so many issues deserve our attention at any one moment, and what to do when we make mistakes in social justice movements. “As activists and advocates for animals, we need to help break the backgrounding and stereotyping of nonhuman animals in part by drawing peoples attention to the diversity — the wondrous diversity — of nonhuman life.” Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online
