Siblings Crystal and Rico Worl have been making art together in Juneau, AK since they were children, and as adults, not only are they thriving as professional artists, they also co-own a successful online business, Trickster Company, whose mission is to promote innovative Indigenous art. Members of the Tlingit and Athabascan clans, Crystal and Rico continue to explore the cultural traditions of their heritage, studying at length with master craftsmen and artists, and the formline style prevalent in the Pacific Northwest lies at the heart of their practice. However, whether using new technology in their art or applying traditional design to everyday objects from basketballs to playing cards — Trickster Company is currently featuring the “Cards Against Colonialism: Western Expansion” set — they remain committed to keeping Indigenous art a living, breathing and evolving cultural touchstone. The scope and reach of their work continue to expand. In July of 2021, the U.S. Postal Service issued the Raven Story stamp bearing a Rico Worl design, and in the last year Crystal has painted two enormous murals – one in Anchorage, the other in Juneau — that with striking vibrancy counteract a long tradition of whitewashing Alaska's history.In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Rico and Crystal delve into the many ways they are working and playing together and apart to ensure that all Alaskans, as well as the millions of visitors to the state, learn to celebrate the value of authenticity.https://crystalworl.com/https://ricoworl.com/https://trickstercompany.com/

We're talking today with Paul McCarney, PhD. Paul's an environmental social scientist, hunter, and conservationist that lives in Canada's remote Yukon. You could think of it as our northern neighbor's Alaska. He's in Whitehorse, which is north of Juneau but east of Anchorage. Most recently, Paul hosted the HuntToEat Podcast, where he covered topics that, until recently, haven't been part of the typical hunting or conservation conversation. Like Daniel, Paul's an adult-onset hunter. Coming to it later in life — like so many people today — has given him some unique perspectives that differ a lot from those typically held by folks raised in North American hunting culture. Now, Paul and Daniel have some very different socio-political views, which will become apparent in this interview, yet they approach this conversation as a dialectic. Neither of them are interested in playing gotcha, but rather wanted to hear from one another on issues that can be contentious, or even taboo in the world of conservation. We think this approach is needed now more than ever, since we're allowing these cultural issues to divide us to a degree we haven't witnessed before in our lifetime. Hopefully this conversation inspires more dialectic and a little less pointless debate. That said, Paul and Daniel are both very intrigued by the rapidly changing demographics in hunting, though Paul's interests lie more in the intersection of race, gender, and culture. Issues that have become significant talking points in most other arenas in recent years, but that have only just started to become issues in the realms of hunting and conservation. So it's really interesting to get his take on this. We've seen a lot of changes happening in this area recently, but of course, there's still a lot of work to be done. Like Paul, we want to see the world of hunting be a place that all people feel welcome, since we see it as a fundamentally human pursuit. Not one that belongs to specific race or gender or ideology. It's a heritage that belongs to all the peoples of the world. So while Paul and Daniel might approach the conversation differently, Daniel doesn't see them as being on different teams, rather more like the two different wings on a plane. You need both to get where you're going safely. It would be a very bad idea for folks on one side of a plane to try to actively dismantle the other side's aisle and wing. But, unfortunately, that's just become the norm in our — as Mike Judge would say — Idiocracy. So, it's in the spirit of dialectic we present this conversation with Paul McCarney. We're looking forward to your thoughts and feedback. We don't touch on these topics often here, so we honestly don't know where you, as a listener, stand. So please don't hesitate to comment on the post associated with this interview on Instagram and Facebook. We'll keep an eye out for your thoughts. Until then, let's continue the dialectic. We can all learn a lot from each other. We just have to be open and listen. View full show notes, including links to resources from this episode here: https://www.wild-fed.com/podcast/158

In this one, Cody talks to big mountain snowboarder Ashley Call. As a kid, he was familiar with his home mountain, Eaglecrest, because he'd be there pretty much every day from 6:30 in the morning to 6:30 in the evening. For over 20 years, his dad was the director of ski patrol. So, while he helped ready the mountain for the day, Ashley ran around the lodge and caused trouble. Until the mountain opened and the lifts started spinning. Then it was time for Ashley to ride the mountain all day long. He started snowboarding at 13. That first year, he went as fast as he could until he fell down. He had to, he was trying to keep up with the Juneau Boys, a group of riders in Juneau who were pushing the boundaries of the sport in the ‘90s and early 2000s. They rode together, traveled for competitions nationally and internationally and filmed video parts. They were a family of exceptional riders who fed off each other. So, to keep up with them, Ashley had to point it. He had to go as fast as he could. Which is something he would become known for. He would go on to have an impressive big mountain career, with wins at Verbier, Arctic Man and King of the Hill. For the last six or seven years, he's been focused on powsurfing. Powsurfers are like snowboards, but without bindings. He says it gives him the same rush he used to get with snowboarding, when he'd charge spines and steep lines. So, any chance he gets, that's what he does. At a ski resort or in the backcountry. As he gets older, that's where he sees himself putting his energy, being a proponent of powsurfing. That and being a father. He says that his daughter has taught him patience, something he's lacked until recently. Lift lines and traffic, for example, used to stress him out. But now, with a kid, he's learning to slow down and that it's okay if things take a little bit longer.
