Wolf Connection
Great podcast. If you care about wolves, predators or wildlife and conservation in general this pod is for you! I particularly appreciate the 3 (4?) part series on the depraved Cody Roberts wolf incident.
Science based info on wolves
Generally enjoy this podcast but just listened to episode 169 on the Wyoming wolf incident and thought it was a strange and glaring omission that they never discussed what the incident actually was! Very weird. Too indelicate to describe?? I had read about it and knew the story but not everyone has. It should have been summarized at the very least and not tiptoed around. People need to know the facts, even the unpalatable ones.
Very educational (and entertaining)
This podcast has great hosts and amazing guests plus the topic - wolves - never gets old. My only complaint is it’s not frequent enough. I need a daily episode. Lol
