    Episode 117: Roger L. Di Silvestro - Return of the Bison

    Episode 117: Roger L. Di Silvestro - Return of the Bison

    Author Roger L Di Silvestro is a professional conservationist, a former editor and writer for the National Audubon Society, and also worked for Defenders of Wildlife and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Roger discusses the topic of his latest book Return of the Bison, which tells the story of how this symbol of the American West was once almost lost to history and of the continuing journey to bring the bison back from the brink. Weaving in natural history and interesting historical contexts, along with the key role of America’s Indigenous people, Roger describes the complex history of the bison’s decimation and how a rising awareness of their possible extinction formed the roots of many modern wildlife conservation approaches.

    Revisit: Jeffrey Ryan - This Land Was Saved For You And Me

    Jeffrey H Ryan is an author, adventurer, photographer, and historian. He has written several books about his outdoor exploits, his fascination with hiking trails, and a deep appreciation for history woven into walks across contemporary landscapes. His latest book, 'This Land Was Saved for You and Me', traces the path from Olmsted’s first wanderings in Yosemite to the signing of The Wilderness Act in 1964. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Jeffrey delves into the history of rescuing America's public lands, and both the notable and lesser-known people who gave their all to protect forests and wilderness areas before they would be gone forever and ensured that all Americans would retain the benefits of ownership. [Originally published Aug 23, 2022. Ep 76]

    Episode 116: Rosanna Xia - California Against the Sea

    Episode 116: Rosanna Xia - California Against the Sea

    Rosanna Xia is an environmental reporter for the Los Angeles Times, specializing in stories about the coast and ocean. A Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020 for explanatory reporting, her work has been anthologized in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Rosanna discusses her book California Against the Sea, and the future of California's vanishing coastline in the face of rising water. The impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved California's contemporary coastline are all factors clashing with the escalating effects of climate chaos. Is an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship possible?

Inspiring Podcast

Stefan is a fantastic host who asks inspired questions. The guests themselves are dynamic, and wide ranging. One of my favorites.

Great Find

I was personally recommended this podcast and I highly recommend it for others interested in a show with an eclectic range of guests, speaking on nature, art, and philosophy. As a documentary filmmaker myself, I relate to Stefan’s decision to use a podcast to reach his audience and spread his message. It’s often hard to reach people when everyone’s on the go. His podcast delivers! That being said, I’m looking forward to checking out Stefan’s films!

P.S. I will also check out the Lurie Gardens when I’m back in Chicago
