WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
It's the final episode of The WildFed Podcast, and Daniel and our show producer Grant Guiliano get together to reflect on the last few years of podcasting together, tie a bow on some of the recurring themes we've discussed on the show, as well as look to the future of WildFed. They chat about the value in reconnecting with the species in your landscape, their thoughts on the future regulations of hunting and foraging, imposter syndrome, plans for a future podcast + a few teasers for Season 4 of the WildFed TV show, and more. We're so incredibly grateful for your listenership and support over...

In the Shadow of Extinction with Dan Flores — WildFed Podcast #173
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
Well, it’s finally here. The last interview of the WildFed Podcast. We'll be back next week with our producer Grant to do a final wrap-up, but as far as guest appearances go, who better to take us out than Dan Flores, and on what better topic than his new book, Wild New World. The book is incredible, even, dare we say, required reading for anyone who’s been following the journey of this podcast. It’s not just a history of North America and the animals that live here now — the extant animals — and the ones that were here before — the extinct ones. It’s also the story of the human...

Uncommon Perspectives with A.J. DeRosa — WildFed Podcast #172
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
A.J. DeRosa is the founder of Project Upland — a multi-media operation that produces, in addition to video and web-based content, a quarterly, subscription-based premium print magazine. He’s also the author of the deer hunting cult-classic, The Urban Deer Complex. An accomplished hunter, rabid conservationist, and success in the hunting industry, he is not your typical hunter. Whether it's his politics, which are woven as a through-line throughout his unique positions, or his insistence on activism as a key component of conservation, he occupies a space adjacent — and sometimes quite...

The HogFather with Jesse Griffiths — WildFed Podcast #171
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food

Agents of Dystopia with Donnie Vincent — WildFed Podcast #170
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. But we'll admit, we weren't expecting it to be in this interview. Our guest today is hunter, conservationist, naturalist and filmmaker Donnie Vincent. Someone Daniel was tremendously inspired by — and still is today — when he first set out to get involved in hunting and outdoor media. Donnie is an iconoclast, standing out amongst successful hunting personalities in the way he hunts, looks, speaks, and for his uniquely thoughtful and artistic approach to outdoor media. Daniel and Donnie have podcasted together a few times now, and they've always...

Breaking Bread Together with Andrew Zimmern — WildFed Podcast #169
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
Our guest today is Andrew Zimmern, who you may know from the long-running cable TV series Bizarre Foods or most recently on Outdoor Channel, Andrew Zimmern’s Wild Game Kitchen (which you can watch free on outdoorchannel.com). Daniel has been a fan of Andrew's shows for a lot of years. In fact, they were some of his early inspiration for creating the WildFed TV show. Aside from his television work, Daniel didn’t know much about Andrew, and this was his first time talking with him. Like Daniel, he wants to reframe the way we handle and cook wild foods. But, Daniel quickly realized that...

Allergic To Hare with Tony Seichrist — WildFed Podcast #168
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
Today’s episode is with our good friend Tony Seichrist. Daniel first met Tony at his restaurant, The Wyld, in Savannah, Georgia where he cooked Alligator for Season 1 of WildFed. Since then, he's been featured in two episodes of Season 2, and he was just with us for an episode of Season 3 — making him our most frequent guest on the WildFed TV show. Tony is one of Daniel's favorite people. They share a lot of ideas, opinions and stances on things, yet both help one another to think in new and fresh ways too. He's one of those friends that inspires us to strive to be better. He’s also an...

The Right to Hunt with Ellary TuckerWilliams — WildFed Podcast #167
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
As someone that came to hunting late in life, someone that wasn’t raised understanding the intricacies and nuance of the North American conservation model or how our wildlife resources are allocated and ultimately utilized, Daniel was very impressed with the scope and breadth of our opportunities here in the United States as he started to take advantage of them. The more he participated, the more clearly he saw just how blessed we are here to have the ability to participate in this imperfect but extremely functional system. While it can always and should always be improved upon, when we hunt...

Hunting New Zealand with Philipp Spahn — WildFed Podcast #166
WildFed Podcast — Hunt Fish Forage Food
Philipp Spahn and Daniel have been chatting on Instagram for years. Like Daniel, he's a modern-day hunter-gatherer who loves to pursue wild foods in many diverse ways, across the landscape where he lives. Also, like Daniel, he arrived at wild foods through a background in health, nutrition and exercise, and like Daniel, he’s also documenting what he does in video form, which he presents on his YouTube channel The Wild Table. Unlike Daniel, he’s in New Zealand, which has a radically different hunting and fishing management system, a diverse bestiary of game species that are almost...
