The Wildlife Experience

The goal of this podcast is to have down-to-earth conversations with people interested in wildlife. This may include biologists, naturalists, conservationists, hobbyists, hunters, fishermen, and any other outdoors folks. With any luck, this will lead to meaningful discussions and a greater sense of unity among all the different wildlife and outdoors groups. Follow the Instagram page @the_wildlife_experience and my personal page @thetexasnaturalist for updates. Instagram is also a good way to reach me if you have comments or are interested in coming on to the podcast.
