“It’s a yes from me, dawg”

Yeah, it’s a yes from me dawg. I found this podcast last September on a long drive and let me tell you, I have probably 10-15 free-episodes remaining. Allow me to also tell you I just subscribed on Patreon! Love these guys, and love the content! Keep crushing it.

My New Favorite

This is just a terrific podcast about animal behavior. Wes and his team make it really entertaining while sharing fantastic information about staying safe around wild animals. I’ve lived in Alaska since I got out of college in 1980 and have spent more time than most living and working in the bush. I once ran into four very large wolves while jogging on my lunch hour while working on a military base outside of Fairbanks. Thank god I knew how to react. They crossed in front of me and everything went fine. I hate to think what might have happened if I had taken off running. You just never know…Listening to this podcast very definitely could keep you alive.

The best

Was hooked from the first episode I listened to. While the stories are interesting enough to keep me listening, it’s the trio’s dynamic that I love. They know when to get serious and when to make jokes. Feels genuine. I’d recommend this podcast to anyone.
