Follow the show: The Oprah Podcast One of the great joys of Oprah’s life has been her dogs – she’s loved 21 one of them! For all the dog lovers, have you ever wondered what’s really happening inside the mind of your dog or how they experience the world? Oprah talks with canine cognitive scientist and New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Horowitz, whose groundbreaking book Inside of a Dog has transformed how we understand our dog companions. From the astonishing power of a dog’s nose to how they interpret our words, emotions and intentions Dr. Horowitz reveals what life looks like from a dog’s point of view. She also explores how dogs form memories, how they learn and solve problems and why their low-to-the-ground perspective influences everything, from how they experience sound and scent, to how they navigate the concept of time in a human world. Oprah and Alexandra also take questions from our listeners like: Do dogs feel anxious when we leave them alone? Can they form deep soul bonds with their humans? What do they understand about aging, illness and the end of life? The episode also checks in with a passionate dog lover whose social media mission has helped rescue hundreds of senior dogs, giving senior pups a second chance with a family.

    Trout Wrangler Podcast S2 Ep90: The Story Behind Lowcountry D

    In this episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with Lowcountry D — better known to many as the "old dude on Instagram" — to talk about the story behind the personality and a lifetime spent around fly fishing. We dive into his background in the sport, including his time living and working at a campground in Alaska, where he spent his summers fishing as much as possible under long days of nearly endless daylight. He shares what that lifestyle looked like, the realities of being up there, and how those experiences shaped him as an angler. We also get into life after Alaska — what he's fishing these days, his current home waters in the Lowcountry, and what makes that fishery unique compared to others. Of course, we get into some stories — including close calls and sketchy moments on the water — along with some of the coolest interactions he's had through building his presence as Lowcountry D. We wrap things up with five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist, plus final thanks and plugs. If you're into fly fishing stories, unique paths into the sport, and the personalities that make it fun, this is one you won't want to miss.   FREE MONTH OF TROUT ROUTES PRO⁠ https://troutroutes.onelink.me/NvfJ/6au6z3i3 ⁠⁠ Free Shipping With Cordina Eyewear ⁠ https://cordinaeyewear.com/RYS_FLIESCLT⁠

    In this episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with fly angler and content creator Pete Kaple, the voice behind Skiff Wanderer, to talk about storytelling, travel, and life built around chasing fish. Pete shares how he first got into fly fishing and the moments and fisheries that truly hooked him on the sport. We dive into his approach to creating content, what makes a fishing story resonate beyond just catching fish, and how he's built a unique voice in the fly-fishing space. We also talk about the places that have stood out most throughout his travels, bucket-list destinations still on his radar, and the gear he relies on day-to-day while exploring new water. A big part of the conversation focuses on conservation and responsibility — from common mistakes anglers make in shallow water fisheries to how we can all explore new places without putting unnecessary pressure on fragile ecosystems. We also get into how fishing has shaped Pete's mindset and lifestyle, what keeps him motivated to keep creating, and what's next for Skiff Wanderer moving forward.

    Trout Wrangler Podcast S2 Ep88: Fly Fishing Xcalak: The Best Permit Destination In The World With Chase

    In this episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with Chase from Xcalak on the Fly to talk about one of the most unique and remote saltwater fly-fishing destinations in the world — Xcalak. We dive into how Xcalak on the Fly came to life and the inspiration behind building a lodge focused on giving anglers a true, unplugged experience in a world-class fishery. Chase also shares the story behind Casa Paraiso and how it became the heart of the entire operation. We break down what a typical all-inclusive fishing day looks like, from early mornings on the water to evenings back at the lodge, and how their team helps anglers target species like permit, bonefish, tarpon, and snook throughout the week. Chase explains how they decide between wading the flats and fishing from a panga, how they coach anglers differently depending on the approach, and what makes Xcalak such a special place to fish — from the quiet village atmosphere to the untouched water along Mexico's southern Caribbean coast. We also get into the lodge experience off the water, including the nightly routine of food, stories, and connecting with other anglers after a long day chasing fish. Of course, we talk permit — including key techniques and mindset shifts that can help anglers improve their success with one of the most challenging species in fly fishing. We wrap things up with some great stories from the water, including memorable clients and trips, plus five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist, along with final thanks and plugs.
