The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 1 (7.20) Andy Riesmeyer is filling in for Tim Conway Jr. tonight, kicking things off with the tragic shooting near Santa Monica Pier early this morning after a fight broke out — another sad sign of how far the once-beautiful Santa Monica has fallen. Andy rants against AI-generated art, posters and music, noting Spotify now has 100 million songs (up from 25 million last year) with many likely AI-created. On a lighter note, meet Jimothy — the adorably weird raccoon from Seattle with a congenital spine condition giving him long legs and a short back — who’s become an internet star with his own tattoos. A hot new dating dealbreaker for women? Men who still have roommates. And in a real “shell” of a story, six people were busted at Santa Monica Pier for poaching 34 spiny lobsters (some pregnant) in backpacks, gym bags, and a baby stroller — caught by Fish & Wildlife officers with the help of lobster-sniffing dogs.

In this episode, I sit down with Robbie Kilcollins to discuss the use of trained tracking dogs to recover wounded or otherwise difficult-to-find deer and other game in Maine.We begin with the legal side of tracking wounded animals, including what hunters should understand before calling for help. From there, we explore what a hunter should and should not do after a questionable shot, how easily a track can be disturbed, and when it is time to back out and contact a dog tracker.Robbie explains how a tracking dog works through scent, how the handler learns to read the dog, and whether dogs can distinguish between a dead animal, a wounded animal and one that is still moving ahead. We also discuss shot placement, weather, blood trails, property boundaries and some of Robbie's most memorable recoveries.At its heart, this conversation is about more than finding deer...we must respect the animal make every reasonable effort to recover the game we pursue.Enjoy!To find a licensed tracker near you check out:Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife athttps://www.maine.gov/ifw/hunting-trapping/hunting/licensed-dog-trackers.htmlUnited Blood Trackers at https://www.unitedbloodtrackers.org/find-a-tracker/

Beat Migs! Tune in to hear an educated point of view, of our newest local celebrity, from Dr. Marcie Logsdon.

Heatwave conditions are particularly testing for dairy cows, and dairy farmers. Figures from the industry body, the AHDB, showed a 34 million litre reduction in milk arriving at British processors in June this year, compared to the same time last year, with the record temperatures the main cause. The UK is not alone, drops in milk production in Germany and France are bringing one small glimmer of hope. There are signs that the long slump in prices brought about by a global oversupply is starting to reverse.Andy Burnham moves into 10 Downing Street today, as he becomes the UK's 59th Prime Minister, the seventh in ten years. The relationship between Sir Keir Starmer's government and the farming community soured over Inheritance Tax, and England's stop-start sustainable farming incentive. Wildlife and landscape conservation groups were less than enamoured with a shift in emphasis away from protection and towards 'build baby build'. So what's the one thing they want the new Prime Minister to make his priority?The Royal Welsh Show begins today, and all week we're exploring how Welsh farming policy is evolving.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Learn about a Yellowstone bison attack, a Wyoming bear encounter camping, and discuss the 2026 National High School Rodeo Finals. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Outdoors and Western Lifestyle News: Bison, Bears & Rodeo From the rodeo arena to the great outdoors, today's headlines highlight both the excitement and unpredictability of life across the American West. Here's a look at three stories making news. Yellowstone National Park Visitor Seriously Injured After Aggressive Bison Attack at Bridge Bay Campground A visitor to Yellowstone National Park was seriously injured Friday evening after an aggressive bull bison charged and tossed him about eight feet or more into the air near Bridge Bay Campground. Professional photographer Mike MacLeod, who witnessed and filmed the incident, said the man was walking with his grandson when the bison suddenly charged, despite the pair being about 100 yards away. The grandson escaped, but the grandfather was struck by the bison, flipped into the air, and suffered serious injuries. MacLeod said the bull had been acting aggressively throughout the campground, charging at vehicles, people, and anything in its path. After the attack, the bison stood over the injured man until MacLeod and several bystanders shouted and moved toward the animal, causing it to retreat. Other campers immediately called 911 and helped care for the victim until Yellowstone emergency crews arrived. The National Park Service has not yet released official details about the incident. According to MacLeod, the victim's grandson later confirmed his grandfather suffered significant injuries and remains in recovery. Wildlife experts note that bull bison become especially aggressive during the annual breeding season, known as the rut, which runs from June through September. While many Yellowstone wildlife encounters involve visitors getting too close to animals, MacLeod said this incident appeared different, with those involved keeping what is generally considered a safe distance before the unexpected attack. The incident is the second reported bison-related injury in Yellowstone this year and serves as another reminder that wild animals can behave unpredictably, even when visitors follow recommended safety guidelines. Reference: https://cowboystatedaily.com/2026/07/11/tourist-seriously-injured-after-yellowstone-bison-launches-man-8-feet-in-the-air/ Black Bear Tears Into Camp in Wyoming, But Two Women Escape Unharmed Two women are counting themselves lucky after a frightening overnight encounter with a black bear in Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. Maggie Bassett and Shonna Dehl were camping when they say a black bear ripped into their tent, apparently determined to get inside. The pair yelled, screamed, and even fired warning shots, but they say the bear kept returning. After several tense minutes, the bear finally left long enough for the women to reach their vehicle. They stayed inside, honking the horn for hours before driving to a nearby family cabin. Neither woman was injured, but when they returned later, they found their campsite and tents badly damaged. The women say they had taken recommended bear precautions, including storing food properly and keeping nothing edible inside their tents. Wildlife experts believe the bear may have been "food-conditioned," meaning it had previously learned to associate campsites and people with food. Bears that lose their natural fear of humans are more likely to approach camps and create dangerous situations. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has been notified and plans to trap and relocate the bear. The incident is a reminder that even when campers do everything right, wildlife can still behave unpredictably. If you're spending time in bear country this summer, experts recommend securing food, carrying bear spray, staying alert for signs of bears, and giving wildlife plenty of space. Preparation can't eliminate every risk, but it can greatly improve your chances of staying safe.

In this episode, host Zach Urness talks about one of Oregon's great river trips — the Wallowa-Grande Ronde River. The float trip, which includes segments of both rivers, can be done as a day-trip or a multi-day adventure into a beautiful roadless wilderness of northeast Oregon. The river is known for being fairly friendly with rapids that are not super challenging, but it does require understanding the river, campsites and details like shuttles and water levels. In this podcast, Urness explains everything folks need to know to get on the water.

Isle Royale is one of the least visited of America's National Parks. Located in the northwest corner of Lake Superior, it's a tough place to get to.  Access is only by seaplane, ferry or private boat. But once visitors do come, they are likely to return. Karen Bacula has been coming to this remote island since 1997. As a teacher, she also brought students to explore this unique archipelago of islands. Now, retired, she volunteers as director of Michigan Tech's Isle Royale Institute and coordinates Moosewatch volunteers, helping people take part in fieldwork that supports the world's longest-running predator-prey study. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Karen about citizen science, wilderness learning and the lasting pull of Isle Royale.Quotes:“What connected me and made me want to just keep coming back was the beauty, the quiet, the simplicity, but yet incredibly complex whole area of what was there being surrounded by the lake. And many of the people I met were just absolutely wonderful.”“The power of the island, the power of the lake, the serenity, but also realizing that at the drop of a hat, the weather can change. So there's predictability and uncertainty in every step that you take. And I like that feeling.”“There's something special and new about it each time and getting to see the changes.”“We're looking for dead moose and looking for the condition of the skeleton to see what the moose age-wise, health-wise was like, potentially how it died.”“It becomes very cross-curricular at all different grade levels. But they all come out with the big excitement being to learn how the study's done and to learn the field techniques for collecting data for this study.”“Two things I tell them to pack that are not necessarily on the gear list is their patience and sense of humor.”“Work to bring some of what you just felt right now with the people you met and living as close to the earth as you can live, bring some of that back with you and hold on to that.”Helpful links:Learn more about the Wolf-Moose Project:isleroyalewolf.orgLearn more about joining a Moosewatch expedition:isleroyalewolf.org/volunteer-moosewatchLearn more about Moosewatch for Educators:isleroyalewolf.org/moosewatch-for-educatorsLearn more about Isle Royale wolf-moose population dynamics:isleroyalewolf.org/population-dynamicsLearn more about supporting the research through the Wolf-Moose Foundation:wolfmoosefoundation.orgLearn more about the Northern Moose Alliance: moosealliance.org Plan a visit to Isle Royale National Park:nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/index.htmConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

When you buy a hunting or fishing license in Mississippi, where does that money actually go? Russ Walsh, Director of Conservation at the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, breaks down why your license isn't just "permission to hunt" — it's a direct investment in the conservation work that brought deer, turkey, and other species back from near extinction.

Building on their recent conversations about roadless areas, and travel management, the pair hike into a section of national forest just outside of Bozeman. This specific area underwent a thinning treatment in 2022 to protect the city's water supply from catastrophic wildfire.This place offers a firsthand look at how logging and thinning can reduce wildfire risk while simultaneously creating better forage for elk and other wildlife in areas without roads. Ultimately, Randy wants to drive home the point that we can have public lands that can benefit both wildlife and people.

The crew react to the viral video of the Bison throwing a man into the air. It devolves into a conversation about wildlife you don't want to miss.

Most people assume the greatest dangers in the outdoors come from bears, sharks, snakes, or other wild animals. After spending decades exploring remote forests, marshes, islands, and backcountry across America, I've learned something different. Sometimes the most unsettling encounters don't involve wildlife at all. In this deeply personal episode of Dark Outdoors, I share five true stories from my years in the field—encounters that reminded me the wilderness isn't always as empty as it seems. From discovering a bizarre hunting blind unlike anything I've ever seen, to mysterious infrared lights deep in the woods, an unsettling late-night encounter at an Arkansas boat ramp, finding myself surrounded by armed strangers on a remote island, and stumbling onto an active meth lab in the middle of nowhere, each experience taught me an important lesson about awareness, instinct, and reading what I call human sign. Outdoorsmen spend years learning to read animal tracks, trails, and behavior. But sometimes it's the signs left by people that tell the most important story. These aren't ghost stories. They aren't urban legends. They're true experiences that changed the way I approach remote places—and may change the way you think about them too.

Montana is a destination for many, but it doesn't run on its own. Heather Harris is the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks as Grassland & Wetland Coordinator for the state. She received her bachelor's degree in biology from Trent University, that's in Canada, and her M.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from Mississippi State University. She grew up in Northern Ontario where she spent most of her time outdoors. She spends a good portion of her spare time hunting turkey, waterfowl, upland birds and big game and training her bird dog Riggs. She also happens to be DrMike's sister-in-law so this one is fun! Join us for another great interview on the FowlWeather Podcast.

The Wallace Line is an invisible boundary in Indonesia marking a remarkable divide in wildlife. West of it, animals are typically Asian; east, they're Australasian. Richard and Terry explore its story with Derek, while BirdWatch Ireland's Niall Hatch joins from Indonesia to share his encounters with the region's unique wildlife...

This week on The Great Outdoors with Charlie Potter, the remarkable comeback of the California condor takes center stage, along with Canada's proposal to restrict access to millions of acres of land in the name of conservation.

For the 26th year, Pacific Power and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife opened the Merwin Fish Hatchery to more than 150 children with disabilities — each one welcomed by volunteers, handed free poles and tackle, and given the chance to reel in rainbow trout and take home up to five fish. The day's biggest catch, a 6-pound 7-ounce trout, was landed by Stuart Ruckman. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/sports/merwin-day-of-fishing-for-kids-with-disabilities-celebrates-26-years/ #MerwinFishing #KidsWithDisabilities #PacificPower #WDFW #ClarkCounty #WashingtonState #YouthFishing #OutdoorAccess #CommunityNews #ClarkCountyToday ---

In 1902, an American classic was born: the teddy bear. Named after President Theodore Roosevelt, the toy became a huge hit, and sparked an idea…maybe every president from then on should have their own viral stuffed animal. Jon Mooallem tells the story of the ill-fated billy possum, and how our fickle feelings about animals have shaped the history—and perhaps the future—of our relationship with the natural world.

When twin brothers Trevor and Kyle Ritland were children, their father — a biologist — would tell them stories about a mythical creature that lived high in the misty mountains of Costa Rica: the golden toad. The toad was elusive, he told them — but for a few weeks every spring, hundreds of them would emerge from the shadows to mate, lighting up the dense forest like brilliant spots of fire. Until one day, the golden toad vanished — never to be seen again.It's mysteries like these that have drawn scores of researchers out of their labs and into the wild — tugging them to explore, to climb distant mountains, to venture into faraway forests and discover or rediscover a creature, a place, some new clue.On this encore episode, we hear stories of those adventures. We talk with Trevor and Kyle about their quest to find out what happened to the golden toad — and what they ultimately discovered. We hear the epic tale of writer Kim Frank's travels to India in search of wild Asian elephants. And we talk with conservation ecologist Ryan Almeida about how the global wildlife trade is affecting certain species and their habitats. We talk with brothers Kyle and Trevor Ritland — a writer and documentary filmmaker, respectively — about their search for the mythical golden toad, a presumed-extinct species that hasn't been seen for over three decades, and what they learned in their travels through the cloud forests of Costa Rica. Their book is “The Golden Toad: An Ecological Mystery and the Search for a Lost Species.” About 10 years ago, writer Kim Frank set out to understand why wild elephants were trampling people in India. But her journey and the human-wildlife conflict was far more complex than she imagined — taking her down dead ends, meeting with an Indian princess, and finally coming face-to-face with the forest giants.  They're the kind of animals you only expect to see in documentaries — green anacondas; giant alligator snapping turtles; even the deadly black mamba — but around the world, millions of these often-dangerous animals are sold as pets. We talk with conservation ecologist Ryan Almeida about what fuels the wildlife trade, its effects on native habitats, and what happens when these pets escape into new ecosystems.

#236 - The Darien Gap has a legend attached to it, but Daniel Eggington brings the parts that don't fit the movie version: endless wet days, rivers fought step by step, fear used as a tool, and the mental math of staying alive when you're deep in the jungle with no easy reset button. Daniel doesn't chase comfort or bragging rights. He chases places where there's no blueprint, because that's where he learns fastest and where the story is earned instead of staged. We start with the moment that set his trajectory: leaving the UK as a teenager for Sumatra after working at a zoo and falling in love with wildlife. From there we dig into expedition travel the way it actually works: preparing for snakes and insects, relying on locals for real knowledge, and keeping your impact low. Daniel shares his Guyana journey down the Essequibo River by dugout canoe, including encounters with local belief systems like Kanaima and how culture can shape safety choices as much as terrain does. Then we go deep on the Darien, including geopolitical shifts, how different groups control different areas, why “permission” is part of the route, and what a truly miserable day looks like when you're soaked, underfed, and still pushing forward. We also talk endurance training, why people choose suffering in controlled doses, and Daniel's next massive goal: a first-of-its-kind Congo River walking expedition planned for 12 months or more, supported by a broader team and modern field comms. If you're into extreme adventure, jungle survival, expedition planning, and the mindset behind big goals, hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs a push. After you listen, leave a review and tell us: what would your no-blueprint adventure be?To learn more about Daniel Eggington and his upcoming expedition along the Congo River check out www.danieleggington.com and follow him on Instagram @danieleggington.To learn more about me and see clips from past, present, and future shows give me a follow on Instagram @humanadventurepod.Want to be a guest on The Human Adventure?

In the last 50 years, Britain has lost an astonishing 73 million wild birds from its landscape, according to the British Trust for Ornithology. Habitat loss, pesticides, disease, cats and the climate crisis mean there are fewer birds than ever before. For children and young people it can be difficult to appreciate the scale of the loss due to a psychological phenomenon called ‘shifting baseline syndrome', where each generation inherits a degraded version of the environment, and therefore doesn't notice the overall decline. But Gen Z are bucking the trend. Thanks to social media and the Merlin Bird ID app, birding has become cool. To find out what we're missing from the dawn chorus, and why young people are embracing birdwatching, Madeleine Finlay hears from the writer Robert Macfarlane and from Jess Painter, a member of the RSPB's youth council.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

We've been waiting to get these guests on for a while, but the wait is finally over! Jeb and Ward Burton join the show to talk all things Chicagoland, the outdoors, and more with Tommy Baldwin on Door Bumper Clear.

In Spot On, Spot Off, the topics we cover include: Did SVG get payback on Austin Hill like Richard Childress said he did? Does NASCAR need to step in and slow down Toyota? Brad Keselowski's comments on the lack of collaboration outside Toyota camps The restart Chase Elliott wishes he could have back The fans call in with hot takes and the usual incoherent babble for Reaction Theatre, including one caller who passionately screams about hot dogs (?). For Ask DBC, we ask Ward Burton about the memories he shares with Tommy—the good, the bad, and the unseen—while Jeb talks about growing up around wildlife alongside his dad, who is going python hunting!

She was the granddaughter of a king, married off at thirteen to settle a debt, and somehow ended up as the only woman to ever run the Tower of London. And then, a few months later, she was a prisoner inside the same walls she used to command. But this isn't just one woman's unbelievable life. Eleanor had two sisters, and once you line all three of them up next to each other, you stop seeing bad luck and start seeing a pattern. This is the story of what actually happened to rich women in medieval England, and why the question at the center of Eleanor's life never really went away.
