Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Moor

In this narrated essay, writer Robert Moor journeys to Haida Gwaii, an island chain in British Columbia, for the anniversary of a historic agreement between the Haida Nation and the Canadian government that protects the landscape's last remaining old-growth forests after decades of logging. As he walks through forest stewarded for generations by Haida, Robert begins to see the tangle of Sitka spruces and cedars, mosses and lichens, not as a site of slow decay, but of ongoing growth. How can being in the presence of ancient trees, he asks, help us feel, rather than intellectualize, not only the deep past, but also our responsibility to the future?  Read the essay.

“In alien parts, we speak more simply, unencumbered by the histories that we carry around at home, and look more excitedly, with eyes of wonder.” —Pico Iyer In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and The Vagabond's Way book club participants discuss how he prepares for the book-club sessions (1:30); how the first days of one's journeys have an optimistic energy and excitement, and how "culture shock" is a real thing (4:00); how travel can put us into a childlike mental state, and how travel expectations can lead to unfair disappointments (13:00); how food, even anomalous food, tells specific stories about places, and Rolf's strategy for keeping a travel journal (21:30); how the "beaten path" is beaten for good reasons, but straying from it yields serendipitous rewards (31:00); and simple strategies for staying safe and dealing with burnout on the road (42:00).

Shadowboxing rounds are solo episodes where I, Life-Sparring host Fabian Gruber share "What's On and Poppin" in my life, what current books provide "Food for Thought," and what else is going on. There are no interviews, just a bit of solo rambling and occasionally some awful singing.This episode is somewhat of a comeback after an almost four-month podcasting hiatus. As it looks, a lot changed, and in the meantime, we entered a new world order.My thoughts on the state of the world and how to deal with such a historic inflection point are the show's main topic. Even the books reviewed in the "Food for Thought" segment fit the theme.This is probably a bit of a heavier solo round; let me know if you liked it.  For more information visit Life-Sparring.com/podcast

In the 54th episode, I chat with Carole Baskin, she is the founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue and is infamous for being in the hit Netflix documentary ”Tiger King”. She runs a real estate business and manages 100+ volunteers and interns from around the world and 10 staff and contractors. She has run this Tampa based nonprofit since 1992 and has garnered international attention to the plight of captive big cats on CNN, Animal Planet, Discovery, U.S. News & World Report, People Magazine, The Today Show, Sports Illustrated, Netflix, Wondery, all of the local media outlets and many more national and international programs. She is the host of the Cat Chat Show, a live interview with cat experts from around the world. Carole is so outspoken that her enemies, the people who breed big cats and exploit the cubs in pay-to-play schemes, have repeatedly threatened her life and one of them is in jail serving a 22-year sentence after being convicted on two counts of murder for hire. You don't become that hated by the industry unless you are having an impact. In November 2019 Wondery announced that Kate McKinnon would play Carole Baskin in the television mini-series based on Robert Moor's podcast, Over My Dead Body.

Robert Moor, a writer for GQ, interviewed Howie and I today for a story he's doing on Joe Schreibvogel. I have low expectations that he will expose Joe for the liar he is, but I answered his questions; even though it was weird to talk about Don and my past in front of Howie. I hadn't thought about a lot of the things he asked, which are all the animal abusers can ever talk about. What about the septic tank, what about the meat grinder, what about the restraining order… He apologized for the nature of the questions, insisting that he's just trying to refute the trash that Joe and his kind vomit in front of anyone who will listen. He kept trying to get me to say that I was hurt by the accusations, but I told him I'm not. I know their motivations and I know the truth. I told him that it is just an annoyance to have to keep going back to that sad part of my life with every new reporter the bad guys latch onto. Reading Future Crimes 187.8 Today.

Laufen und Alleinsein – manchmal braucht es nicht mehr als das, um den Kopf freizubekommen von der Überzahl an Bildern, die sich jeden Tag in uns ansammeln. Die Bewegung in der Natur belebt Körper und Geist und zeigt uns, dass wir auch mit weniger auskommen, uns mit weniger zufrieden geben können. Was aber ist es noch, das uns am Gehen so glücklich macht? Robert Moor reiste sieben Jahre lang rund um den Globus, beschritt große Routen ebenso wie schmale Cherokee-Pfade. In seinem Buch Wo wir gehen begibt er sich auf die Suche nach dem Ursprung und der Entstehung von Wegen und verbindet dabei seine eigenen Erlebnisse mit Erkenntnissen aus Wissenschaft, Geschichte und Philosophie. Ausgehend von den Abenteuern, die er auf seinen Reisen erlebt hat, zeigt Erling Kagge in seinem Buch Philosophie für Abenteurer in siebzehn reich bebilderten Kapiteln wie wir nicht nur abenteuerliche Expeditionen, sondern auch die Abenteuer des alltäglichen Lebens meistern können, indem wir uns auf das konzentrieren, was wirklich wichtig ist. Sigrid Damm, bekannt für ihre Biographien von Personen aus der Weimarer Klassik, schreibt in ihrem Buch Wandern – ein stiller Rausch eine Hommage an die Natur Lapplands, an die Langsamkeit und an das einsame Gehen in der Natur. Im Roman Der Sommer im Garten meiner Mutter, der 2020 im bilgerverlag erschien, erzählt Ariela Sarbacher, wie sich Mutter und Tochter im Angesicht einer unheilbaren Krankheit in einem kurzen, aber intensiven Sommer voneinander verabschieden.

Robert Moor wandert leidenschaftlich gern. Der über 3000 Kilometer lange Appalachian Trail gab dem US-Autor den Anstoß für „Wo wir gehen“: Ein großes Buch über die Suche nach Wegen und über die Antworten, die man unterwegs findet.

An author that hiked the Appalachian Trail and then got obsessed with the history and creation of trails. This is how the book “On Trails” by Robert Moor could be summarized. Sounds a bit, boring, doesn’t it?Well, it isn’t. Instead, “On Trails” is one of the most fascinating “outdoor books” of the past years. In it, Robert explores how trails help us to understand the world. From ants to elephants to hiking paths that span continents, from interstate highways to the Internet, Moor discusses how the wisdom of trails link together all species. It is a fascinating read, because it covers a seemingly simple topic – trails – , but spans an arc from the dawn of animal life to the digital era, and from science to history, philosophy and nature writing … to mention just a few of the captivating topics of the book – and of this conversation. https://www.robertmoor.com/https://twitter.com/robertmoor_https://www.facebook.com/robert.moor See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them. . . . Some, not wise, go to the other side of the globe, to barbarous and unhealthy regions, devote themselves to trade for ten or twenty years, in order that they may live—that is, keep comfortably warm—and die in New England at last.” —H.D.

Scandal and intrigue surround Joe Exotic, the central character of the new Netflix documentary Tiger King. Among the many bizarre traits of this zoo keeper, Exotic tries his hand at country music. Interspersed throughout the series, Joe sings about his love of big cats as well as his hatred for his nemesis in a gruesome murder ballad. But it turns out that amongst his many lies, Exotic’s country career may be yet another fabrication.

The story told on the podcast Over My Dead Body: Joe Exotic is a story so crazy it is hard to believe that it is real. In this episode of Payne in the Pod, host Robert Moor, joins Mary Payne.  Joe Exotic is a gay polygamous zookeeper in rural Oklahoma and who bred and rescued lions, tigers, ligers, and exotic big cats. He traveled with these big cats and put on shows where he would charge visitors to pet the baby cubs. As a result, Carole Baskin, the owner of a big cat sanctuary in Florida, became one of his enemies who he is convicted of hiring two men to kill. Robert takes Mary Payne through his experience of spending time with Joe from the animals and the zoo to extreme things he caught him on tape saying to his current trial. Was it trauma in Joe’s life and his self-image that led him to spiral out of control or was it simply his boosted ego? Carole Baskin of Florida Mary Payne and Robert then touch on Carole Baskin. She is a woman who ran away at a young age, lived fairly rough for a few years, was in an out of horrible relationships, was married three times, and one of her husbands randomly disappears. Carole did not think that Joe Exotic was treating his animals with respect, but the two have many similarities. Were Carole and Joe a match made in heaven to be enemies? Throughout the crazy story surrounding Joe Exotic, the craziest part may be what ultimately brought him down and lead him to jail. Robert and Mary Payne discuss the irony of the situation and updates to the other characters in the story. Catch up on all of the Payne in the Pod episodes, here.

Toni and Matt start the On Wonder podcast. In this first episode we talk about On Trails by Robert Moor. We both love trails and walking which inspired us to pick up this book. Join us as we explore Robert Moor's writings and how it connects to us. You can find the book at your local public library or on Amazon using this link: https://amzn.to/2kbU7Al

Robert Moor set out to write about his personal experience hiking the Appalachian Trail. What he finished with was On Trails, an exploration of the history, biology, and philosophy of pathways. For Moor, trails are more than a dirt path under our feet, they’re a guide to better understanding the world around us.

For Moor, trails are more than a dirt path under our feet, they're a guide to better understanding the world around us.

Robert Moor has written for The New York Times, Harper's, n+1, New York, and GQ, among other publications. He is a recipient of the Middlebury Fellowship in Environmental Journalism, and has won multiple awards for his nonfiction writing. Robert's new debut book is On Trails: An Exploration. Info at RobertMoor.com

In 2009, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of the next seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. Moor reveals how this single topic—the oft-overlooked trail—sheds new light on a wealth of age-old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across continents? How has humanity's relationship with nature and technology shaped world around us?

My guest today is Robert Moor, author of "On Trails: An Exploration." ______________ One of my favorite things to do in life is to find and hike a trail out in the wilds. I love how a good trail gently leads you through nature. You don’t have to think much about where you’re going, so it gives you time to think about other things. It's great for chewing on deep issues and getting new insights, but it also causes you to take the trail for granted. For example, I sometimes forget that a group of people blazed the trail I’m enjoying and that another group continues to maintain it without any fanfare. My guest today decided to stop taking trails for granted and to explore them in-depth -- both literally and metaphorically -- after his own hike on the Appalachian Trail. His name is Robert Moor and he’s the author of the book "On Trails: An Exploration." Today on the show, Robert shares why he decided to hike the entire Appalachian Trail after he graduated from college and why that experience led him to diving into the deeper meaning of trails. We then discuss why following a trail is so existentially satisfying and how trails are embedded in human thought and communication and provide us with a sense of place and orientation in our lives. We end our conversation talking about the idealistic origins of the Appalachian Trail, the movement to extend the Appalachian Trail to Morocco (yes, Morocco), and what a perpetual hiker named Nimblewill Nomad can teach us about the limits of freedom. If you’re a hiker, you’re going to love this show. If you’re not a hiker, it’s going to inspire you to find a trail this weekend and become one.

In 1913 outdoorsman Joseph Knowles pledged to spend two months in the woods of northern Maine, naked and alone, fending for himself "without the slightest communication or aid from the outside world." In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow Knowles' adventures in the woods and the controversy that followed his return to civilization. We'll also consider the roots of nostalgia and puzzle over some busy brothers. Intro: In 1972, a French physicist discovered a natural uranium reactor operating underground in Gabon. In the 13th century the English royal menagerie included a polar bear. Sources for our feature on Joseph Knowles: Jim Motavalli, Naked in the Woods, 2007.

This week’s Please Explain is all about trails - from the ancient nomadic paths that travelers relied on for survival, to modern hiking trails that help us find our way in the wilderness. Robert Moor began writing his book, On Trails: An Exploration, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2009. He’ll talk about animal trails (ants, buffaloes, elephants), long-lost Cherokee trails, and discuss the colonial origins of American hiking trails.
