Send us a text"I Should Be Dead."John wasn't supposed to live past 30. For over six decades, he lived in complete darkness—chained by addiction, tormented by lies, and drowning in painkillers, alcohol, and hopelessness. He believed everything he loved would die.But then—Jesus stepped in.After a radical encounter at The Supernatural Life Church in Bushnell, Florida, everything changed. Deliverance, healing, and the fire of God transformed John from a broken addict to a bold man of God.This is one of the most powerful redemption stories we've ever shared. Don't just watch—feel the presence of God as you hear what He can do with a surrendered life.

While Robbie was in Zululand starting to film a docu-series on rhinos, sustainable use of rhinos and all of the controversy around the trade in rhino horns, the team was fortunate enough to witness a couple of Rhino dehornings. The vet that performed the dehornings was Mike Toft, a wildlife veterinarian out of Kwazulu, Natel. A 30-year vet (no pun intended) of the wildlife veterinarian game, he has seen it all when it comes to rhino conservation. Robbie and Mike got together right after a recent dehorning by Mike of two rhinos that he'd darted from a helicopter less than an hour before the recording began. Mike recalls dehorning over 4,000 rhinos, and has arguably dehorned more rhino horns than anybody else in the world. Apologies for any shaking you hear in the background because Robbie and Mike recorded the podcast in Mike's vehicle as they were traveling between two dehornings.

Cullen Kelly is one of the brothers now in charge of Garry Kelly Safaris. Garry Kelly Safaris (or GKS) is one of the oldest safari companies in South Africa, and Garry Kelly, Cullen's Dad, is one of the original stalwart professional hunters in South Africa (he was involved in the very first Rhino hunt with Ian Player in Zululand). Robbie and Cullen connected on the banks of the Mkuze River, as Robbie and The Origins Foundation team were working on a Rhino documentary. Mkuze Falls is a private, community held conservancy, that has the big five and is a poster child for what wildlife conservation can be like in South Africa. These critical private reserves do amazing things for wildlife conservation, rhinos, lions and more, and the wildlife and communities owning it are all benefitting from it.  Get to know the guest: https://www.youtube.com/c/CullenKelly Do you have questions we can answer?

John Luyt is one of the professional hunters that works in the APNR - the Associated Private Nature Reserves of the Kruger National Park. These reserves were setup to incorporate into Kruger National Park and allow for more movement of wildlife. With the dropping of fences, Kruger's burgeoning elephant population has spilled into the APNR, where legal, highly regulated hunting of elephants occurs. The hunting of elephants in this area has gone through significant upheaval since 2021, when Humane Society International put a court interdict in place stopping export of elephant trophies. Today, we get a huge step forward towards returning to pre-2021. John brings Robbie breaking news out of the Limpopo Province of South Africa that now, for the first time in quite some time, international hunters may now hunt nonexportable elephants in the Limpopo Province, along with a history of why this is such a significant clawback of ground after several battles in and out of court.

Grouse hunting on moors is likely one of the most heated hunting topics in the United Kingdom. Every year the industry comes under attack, and they have to stand up and fight to highlight the benefits that come from Grouse shooting on moors. In Part 1 of a series on "Fighting for the Moorlands", Robbie connects with two key individuals in the "Why Moorlands Matter" movement - Emily Graham and Ian Coghill (or commonly referred to as Coggers). If you have ever been interested in learning more about the fight against hunting in the United Kingdom, have heard about grouse shooting, or may have just heard about moors, this is the podcast to learn more about all of those subjects.

We're back for PART II of our miniseries covering the historic cheetah relocation that The Origins Foundation has undertaken from South Africa to Mozambique. Wildlife veterinarian, Andy Fraser, joins Robbie on the ground once again to discuss the difficulty of the sheer size of the project relocating the first 12 cheetahs. This podcast will bring you on the ground with them as they discuss the challenges and rewards of such an ambitious conservation project. From the epic photo of napping on a pile of cheetah's during an exhausting 50 hour trip, to 10 hours of driving in each direction - this is a no-holds-barred discussion. Be warned, this podcast was recorded at 11:30pm at night waiting for a plane to arrive from Zimbabwe to put the last 4 cheetahs onto!

What does a one person submarine and a secret spy ring have in common? The American Revolution of course! This week we decided to learn a bit more about our neighbours to the south and take a deeper look at some of the events surrounding their independence. Kelsey has the low down on Bushnell's Turtle, a submersible with a success rate of zero, that still managed to become world famous thanks to its inventors and pilots. Alanna shares the story of Anna Strong and the Culper spy ring, who were able to remain undetected thanks to some pretty ingenious methods of communication. Their contributions to the war effort and even their existence would not be revealed until centuries later. We hope you enjoy this dose of American history, Happy belated 4th of July to all our American listeners and we will catch up with you all on the 25th! If you can't wait till then, join us over at patreon.com/Castlesandcryptids for lots of bonus content. Darkcast promo of the week is Murder and Mimosas

Leland Brown is a PhD student who has worked for some time on the idea of lead-free ammunition. Leland and Robbie cover the start of the lead-free controversy, addressing myths about lead-free ammunition (from efficacy, ballistics, terminal efficient, etc) and sets the tone for Leland's PhD research. There is always significant controversy when one starts talking about lead free ammunition - specifically as it pertains to reducing hunting opportunities and it always comes down to availability and efficacy. Robbie and Leland talk about it all. Get to know the guest: https://www.trcp.org/2025/03/27/in-the-arena-leland-brown/ Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie sits down with some of the board members of the newly birthed North American Pronghorn Foundation, one of the newest nonprofits in the conservation space! America is the bastion of species-specific foundations like this that dive deep into the conservation of one or another much loved and iconic species from Ducks Unlimited to NWTF to all the deer foundations and beyond - but with 14 states with pronghorn populations and only two with positive increases in those populations - this group couldn't have come at a more important time.  Get to know the guest: https://www.pronghorns.org Do you have questions we can answer?

 Welcome back! This week, the ladies disect Sex and the City, which began as a newspaper column by Candace Bushnell for The New York Observer (1994–1996), chronicling the romantic escapades and social lives of Bushnell and her friends in New York. The columns were compiled into a 1996 book that inspired the hit HBO series, two films, and the Max revival “And Just Like That…Candace Bushnell's alter ego, Carrie, serves as our narrator. She introduces readers to characters like Carrie, Mr. Big, and Samantha—navigating love, status, and sex in a world of privilege, parties, and heartbreak. The book isn't a traditional novel but rather a collection of loosely connected essays and vignettes. It paints a portrait of a certain type of single woman—successful, savvy, and navigating a social world where love is often transactional and appearances mean everything. You've seen them on HBO, but this is the book that started it all.*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

Robbie and Paul first met each other almost 3 years ago when Robbie attended his first Zimbabwe Professional Guides Association meeting in Victoria Falls. At that meeting Robbie was introduced to Paul's extensive knowledge about all things history, anthropology, and natural sciences. Paul is an absolute wealth of knowledge. Paul Hubbard lives in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and is a guide, anthropologist, archaeologist, and general “knower of all things” as it relates to the history of hunting and hunting culture in Zimbabwe. Today, he and Robbie cover history from Stone Age to Iron Age hunters in Southern Africa in the first of what will be a long running series of podcasts we have here at Blood Origins!

Robbie met Fiona Tande randomly in South Africa on what can only be described as a “crazy journey” tied to the Panyame Cheetah Conservation Project. During that connection Robbie and Fiona had a really solid conversation in the middle of the bush in which Fiona questioned Robbie about hunting. The result of that conversation was Fiona stating - "I had no idea hunters spoke or thought that way." That led to Robbie and Fiona connecting later, on this podcast. As you will see in this podcast - it quickly gets turned on its head with Fiona inquistively questioning Robbie about all things hunting - and will serve as an exceptional educational podcast to others about how to talk and answer someone who is not familiar with hunting, about hunting. Listen to the whole thing as you may be surprised at the outcome ... Get to know the guest: https://pwff.africa Do you have questions we can answer?

Today's Short Truths question is, “Are elephants in Africa doing okay?” And the answer is different than if they're endangered or not - because it speaks to the practical nature of wildlife conservation, from the politics of it to the environment and so on.

Episode: 1385 How David Bushnell built his submarine for the Colonial Army.  Today, a new look at a Colonial technology.

Robbie travelled to India earlier this year to get an on-the ground perspective of human wildlife conflict in the very remotest and rural places in India. At the second location that they travelled to a subject matter expert, Dr. HS Pabla, joined Robbie and the team. Dr. Pabla was the Chief Wildlife Warden of Mardra Pradesh, an extremely prestigious position, and retired from the Indian Forest Service in 2012. So when Robbie got the opportunity to sit down with Dr Pabla, he took it. This podcast was filmed and recorded in a very small hotel room in a remote hotel in rural India. The discussion with Dr. Pabla unravels the Wildlife Protection Act of India and how the country has made moves in recent years toward a more sensible model of conservation, driven by unprecedented wildlife conflicts between the citizens of the country and wildlife; from herbivores destroying crops to tigers and leopards prowling cities and towns and eating citizens.  It's truly an eye opening podcast from an area of the world that most people know very little about.

Laura shares her powerful journey of awakening and how surrender, trust, and tuning into your heart (not your head) can unlock your greatest gifts. She teaches us how to reconnect with our divine light, understand the truth behind auras, and why loving yourself is the most transformational practice of all. If you've been feeling energetically off or like you need a reminder of your inner strength, this conversation will feel like a warm, soul-hug. Let this be your reminder: you are magic!  -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi  Code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  LAURA BUSHNELL RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurabushnell/ Website: https://www.laurabushnell.com/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

While searching the interweb for Rhino documentaries, Robbie came across a TED talk by a professor from the Uiversity of Arkansas Monticello called Elena Rubino talking about Rhinos. He was immediately intrigued as its not a place that one thinks discussions around Rhino Conservation and Trade come from. Robbie reached out, and it turns out the Elena did her Ph.D. work on the perceptions of Trophy Hunting, and naturally that was something he wanted to learn about. Robbie is joined today by Dr. Elena Rubino, a professor at the University of Arkansas-Monticello, to talk about a survey she undertook to understand perceptions around trophy hunting. As you will find out the research is fascinating and really provides some science to what society thinks about hunting writ large.

Robbie and Ashlee get into it in this Roundup episode - diving first into some good news about our ongoing Cheetah conservation project, expansion of hunting and fishing on National Wildlife Refuges, then transitioning into a fiery debate about the ecological importance of donuts and their role in black bear management. Robbie and Ashlee come at the issue from two completely different, yet congruently valid perspectives - Ashlee questions the use of bait for black bear hunting from an ethical perspective, while Robbie defends the use of bait from a scientific and management perspective.

The Honorable Robert Borsak is a repeat guest on the Blood Origins podcast. He is a member of the upper house of the New South Wales Government in Australia and the leader of the Shooters, Fishers, and Farmers Party there. Robbie wanted to have a conversation with Robert on the heels of the Great Australian Pig Hunt, in which the data showcased how great a job hunters were doing both economically and ecologically for the Australian environment and economy. The two discuss hunting policy in NSW from wild (read: feral) horses to wombats and beyond. A fascinating podcast if you are interested in understanding policy implications and hunting advocacy halfway around the world.
