It’s about animal attacks but they take care not to demonize the animals. So they’re very compelling stories and they also give you practical information about how to avoid being attacked and what to do if you are attacked, plus biology and conservation info and lots of jokes. Pretty sure Wes is a low-key leftist too.

Grizzlies are probably Wes’ favorite animal and he’s worked with them a ton so they are featured prominently on the podcast.

TL;DR: Do not hug this adorable cuddly motherfucker under any circumstances.

That sounds cool except for the attack part. Know any podcasts that are just kinda about animals doing the things they do when people aren't there? I'd be so down for that.

I don’t, unfortunately! This is the only animal-related podcast I listen to but now that you mention it, a podcast just talking about wild animals being cool would be great.

There's YouTubers I treat like that but I'd like some looser discussion. A total moron who loves animals and an expert guest would be amazing.
