Originally released July 4, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week’s episode, we speak with Matt Rader, the President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. We dig deep into environmental justice and what it means for people to have access to green spaces and the many positive effects it has not only on the aesthetic of a city but the many mental, physical, social, and overall health benefits.  We’ve been wanting to cover this for a long time and Matt beautifully walks us through what environmental justice is, how it affects all of us, and the many models and programs PHS has put into effect to give Philadelphia access, experience, and a deeper and healthier connection to nature. We are so grateful to PHS and Matt Rader for his time, heart, and absolute dedication to getting Philly more access, agency, and connection to all things green. Lots of Love.Show Notes:Conquer The Soil InstagramPHS Online🔎 Please find out more info and message us at:  Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kindredpodcast.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thekindredpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Kindred⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ☕️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please support us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to us on Apple Podcasts✏️ Please follow, rate, and review - wherever you listen to your podcasts.💚 Thanks.

Originally released January 23, 2024. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025. In this week’s episode, we speak with long-haul hiker and adventurer Melanie Vogel. Melanie is the first woman to walk the Trans Canada Trail, the longest recreational trail in the world.  She walked from the Atlantic Ocean across and up to the Arctic Ocean, then down and over to the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 21,000 kilometers. Solo. Melanie’s story is one of unexpected connections, harrowing experiences, brutal weather, stunning beauty, finding a soul mate, finding oneself, and the slow and emerging awareness of what it is to be human. We were spellbound by her story of letting go of fear, anxiety, and control that we carry in our daily lives, and emerging as her true self - more than she had ever felt before. And this story holds, to date, my most favorite meet-cute. Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn have nothing on this one.  Please rate and review us! And share this episode with your people. It’s an incredible story for so many reasons and we’d love to hear what you loved about it. Lots of Love.

Our final episode of the season was supposed to air earlier this month, but due to the quickly changing political landscape, we couldn’t release it as planned. It was a tough call, but the right one. In this episode, Kate will be reading the statement we shared in response to all of this, which you may have already seen on our social media or in our newsletter.As we close out another season, we’d love to hear from you—what did you enjoy, and what do you want more of?

Originally released April 25, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week's conversation, we speak with Tracy Wilson, the Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) on a critical subject we knew little to nothing about the wild Mustangs and Burros of the West and North Western United States. She walks us through their challenges, the critical edge they live on, and why we must save this iconic historical animal. AWHC believes "There Is A Better Way" to work with supporting and managing these beautiful and powerful animals through programs like their fertility control, or PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida) the largest program of its kind in the world today. However, brutal and inhumane management via roundups by helicopter still remains the method of corralling the horses and burros, creating chaos, injury, extreme stress, and death. We also believe there is a better way. And we find out what that is, and what we owe these animals that long to live wild and free on our American landscape.Show Note Links:American Wild Horse CampaignEric Lundgren Study on BurrosThe Bureau of Land Management🔎 Please find out more info and message us at:  Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kindredpodcast.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thekindredpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Kindred⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ☕️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please support us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to us on Apple Podcasts✏️ Please follow, rate, and review - wherever you listen to your podcasts.💚 Thanks.

We are dropping this episode as an encore in light of the devastating fires LA have been experiencing the last few weeks. There are so many reasons these fires are happening and we wanted to re-share this episode on fire in support of answering some of the questions we have been seeing on social media and hearing on news platforms.  In this week's conversation, we speak with Tony Incashola Jr., forest manager for CSKT (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), and Stephanie Gillin, information and education program manager and former wildlife biologist for the CSKT at the Flathead Indian Reservation. Tony and Stephanie walk us through the history of fire and what it means to their tribes and how the criminalization of their fire practices not only impacted the health of the landscape but significantly changed how fire affects the land, ecosystems, and people of Montana and the general western part of the United States.

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Dave Onorato, Research Scientist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and the Florida Panther Project. For this conversation, we get to head down to Florida to learn all about the elusive Florida Panther!  Dave patiently walked us through what a panther is because I for one can get them confused with other large North American cats. He also shares with us the challenges panthers are facing today with both health and habitat and what the Panther Project is doing to actively support and protect these majestic cats! Dave also shares a few of his most memorable moments out in the field with panthers.  And can I just say, these beauties are definitely the OG on the smokey eye look. Pretty sure I know where the Kardashians learned it from.   Lots of Love. This is our final episode of Season 7.

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Dr. Katherine Gura, a research scientist at Colorado State University and a leader in raptor research and conservation, with a specific focus on Great Grey Owls. Katherine also has a background in wildlife ecology and is a long standing team member at the Teton Raptor Center working with raptors to better understand their needs in a time of changing climates and habitat loss. If you’ve ever heard the call of an owl, in the dark, under a full moon and gotten full body chills, you will know why we loved this conversation so much. And if you haven’t, take a listen because we offer you that experience today.  Katherine takes us into the habitat of the Great Grey Owl and sits with us as she explains why they are so exceptional, wise, and captivating. And we left this space understanding why this incredible raptor is a wildlife treasure, and what they offer not only their ecosystem, but what they mean to us and why we should value them and fight for their conservation.  Thanks so much to Katherine for taking us into the world of the magical Great Grey Owl.  An owl with a call that will echo through your soul.  Lots of Love.  Episode Time Stamps: Introduction: 00:53 Interview: 6:24 TA: 1:03:42 Show Note Links: https://tetonraptorcenter.square.site/product/phantom-of-the-north/49?cs=true&cst=custom https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Gray_Owl/overview https://www.cira.colostate.edu/staff/gura-katherine/ https://tetonraptorcenter.org/wild-women-of-wildlife-features-trcs-katherine-gura/ 🔎 Please find out more info and message us at:  Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kindredpodcast.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thekindredpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Kindred⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ☕️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please support us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to us on Apple Podcasts ✏️ Please follow, rate, and review - wherever you listen to your podcasts. 💚 Thanks.

This time of year can be challenging. It’s dark, grey and cold. So Kat and I thought we could offer a new perspective, one that Jenn and I have been shifting for years. How can we see darker and colder times as a way to rest and renew ourselves? What if we looked to the natural world for a better, more meaningful way to experience winter? Here are our thoughts on how we might lean into the winter season and look to animals and nature as a guide and inspiration on how to rest and renew ourselves and tap into seasonal cycles and see what we can learn from these organic rhythms during “darker” times. Happy New Year, dear listeners. From all of us at Kindred we wish you all a warm and peaceful holiday season! And may the energy this time of year can offer, nurture you through this winter. And all the best to you in 2025! As always, lots of love.

In this week’s episode, we speak with Rosalie Haizlett about her new book Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains. Tiny Worlds is an immersion into the small and tiny worlds of the Appalachian Trail and a journal of both paintings and thoughts about Rosalie's time spent hiking this long, old, incredibly diverse trail and mountain range.   Rosalie's gift lies not only in her beautiful watercolor illustrations, but also her ability to highlight and elevate what is often overlooked, but has always been there. The little guys. The ones who survive and endure through brutal landscape deconstruction like logging, strip mining, and development.  We loved the walk down memory lane visiting plants and places and spaces where we grew up, living in Maryland as children and camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia, where Rosalie lives today.  Thanks so much to Rosalie for also highlighting what we call the flower of our lineage, starting with our Great Grandmother! And, the moth that we love so much, Jenn even has an incredible tattoo of it!

In this week’s conversation, we speak with Stefania Uccheddu, Veterinarian and Coordinator of the Behavioral Medicine Service at the San Marco Veterinary Clinic and Laboratory, located in San Marco, Italy.  In this conversation, our focus is specifically the grief-like process that dogs can go through when they lose their dog companion, but Stefania does touch on a few other really key intersecting spaces that go hand in hand with the dog's experience. Having witnessed what our dog Blue went through after losing his sister Pip, I was really interested in finding out how we all might support our beloved dogs better after losing what we all consider a pack or family member.  Will you need a tissue, maybe. But really, this is a positive, kind, and really sweet episode. The focus is on acknowledging in our dogs what we humans are also going through. And this is what we love so much about the research Stefania Uccheddu and her team have been working on.  Please share this episode! It’s so validating and supportive for those of us who have gone through this with our pets. It’s such a gift.  Lots of Love.

In this week’s conversation, we speak with Nigel Rothfels, Professor of History from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Nigel has long been studying the history of ideas we humans have of animals and animal studies, which lucky for us includes all things zoos! Because boy did we have questions upon questions… And like all good questions and conversations the answer is never “good or bad” is it? It’s complicated. But Nigel patiently walked us through a long history and into some dark corners where we could shine some light. This conversation was dynamic, heartfelt, respectful, and at moments hilarious. It was such a pleasure to dig deep into a subject that we could push back on, disagree on, learn about, and come away with a sense of being heard but maybe more importantly shift our perspectives and be open to all the grey that complicated stories can offer us. Also, we talk about Nigel's new edition of his book Savages and Beasts: The Birth of the Modern Zoo coming out in the Spring, and about my new favourite animal conference that he is going to create and all I can say is Jenn and I would be perfect guests on this panel. Wink. Thanks for listening, Lots of Love.

In this week’s conversation, we had the absolute pleasure of speaking with  Carer and Head Manager of the Rhino Orphanage, Yolandé van der Merwe. We have been following the Rhino Orphanage since their foundation in 2012, so when we started this podcast they were immediately on our list!  The story of the Rhino Orphanage is one of great tragedy and great triumph.  It’s a story of the moment you see a life hanging in the balance, and in an instant the course of your life changes.  This conversation is a testament to the power of love, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the belief that we must help each other, humans and animals alike and that through action, time, and healing, we can all thrive and one day return to the life we once knew. Because of the Rhino Orphanage, baby rhinos are brought to a safe place and through the amazing veterinarian and carer teams, are given a second chance. It’s a brutal transition when a baby rhino loses their mother to violence, and is often attacked themselves, but the Rhino team is there to nurture them back to health, both physically and mentally. The team at the Rhino Orphanage are the Heroes of our time.  They are the reason rhinos might have a chance. Deeply grateful for this conversation, and all that you do Yolandé! If you need a coffee or a sammie while you're busy with the babies, text us.  Lots of Love.

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Kirsty-Jo Muddiman, representative for The Seahorse Trust and coordinator of the Malta Seahorse Project. Who knew that the seahorse is as fancy inside as out! This might be the most surprising little animal we have covered yet, and that’s saying A LOT. Take a listen to all the fun facts on seahorse morphology and biology and let us know which attribute is most surprising to you! Our big question is why hasn’t Disney or Pixar not created an animated film featuring this amazing creature that not only looks like a horse/fish/chameleon, but performs one of the most romantic mating dances OF ALL TIME. Thanks so much to Kirsty-Jo for this delightful conversation and introducing us to the stoic, romantic, vulnerable apex predator that is the seahorse.

In this week’s episode, we travel to Denmark and speak with author and long time marine biologist Hanne Strager about the incredible and dynamic predator the killer whale, or orca if you prefer. Hanne specializes in marine wildlife, specifically killer whales, and has recently published her new book titled, The Killer Whale Journals: Our Love and Fear of Orcas.  We wanted to speak with Hanne because we are keenly interested in the relationship humans have with predators and why killer whales have long been persecuted, misunderstood, and even demonised by humans, like MANY predators whether that be on land or sea. We think they are dynamic, highly intelligent, gorgeous, and captivating animals and Hanne tells us why! What an absolute honor to speak with Hanne. We steeped in her knowledge and experience and mostly her poignant insights on not only killer whales but also her view of the relationship we have with animals like killer whales and other powerful and intelligent predators.  Also, take a listen to this week's introduction to the episode and weigh in on whether my “joke” about killer whales is actually a joke, a riddle, or just a question! Jenn is most definitely unsure! Lols.  Lots of Love.

In this week’s episode, we had the absolute pleasure of speaking with entomologist Gwen Erdosh! We came across her Instagram account a few years back and have been huge fans ever since.  We are so inspired by Gwen for many reasons. She’s a woman who has loved entomology from a very young age, she features insects in a way that is super fun and respectful, and her passion for all-things-bugs is infectious.  Oh, and she speaks about them not only in English but in fluent Spanish (We can barely spell/say Pyrophorus Noctilucus in one language let alone two!)! It’s scientists like Gwen that are the future of saving this planet, and the incredible critical species that keep this world clean and thriving, and give us food, flowers, and all the good things! The fashion world and Hollywood’s got nothing on the spectacular insects Gwen finds. You wanna see the real trend setters? Head to Gwen’s Instagram account and get ready to be WOWED!  Lots of Love!

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Jen Davis, the education and learning manager for The Wildlife Trusts based around the UK. Jen focuses specifically on the role nature plays in childhood and how through educational programs implemented by The Wildlife Trusts, children can access empathy to nature, and a deeper connection to themselves and others. And, we dig deep into the critical role time spent in nature plays in the development of children and young people. Jen was such a joy and inspiration to speak with. You can tell how much she loves her work and how passionate she is about implementing time spent in nature for children into the educational systems in the UK. This conversation resonated deeply with us and is so very Kindred. Thanks so much to Jen Davis and The Wildlife Trusts for speaking with us and for the work you are doing in getting our children reconnected to the natural world! Lots of Love.

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Elly Albers who is all about the beautiful Pink Flamingo! Elly is the founder of the Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab, and owner of the Mangrove Info Center (Kayak and Boat Excursions) on the beautiful island of Bonaire.  When researching this episode, we were so pleased to find that flamingos are native to Bonaire, one of our most favorite places in the world, and then learning of the Wild Bird Rehab where flamingos and other birds were being cared for was a total bonus!  Originally from the Netherlands, Elly moved to Bonaire and worked in the animal shelters.  She ultimately started her business the Mangrove Info Center, where Elly and her team guide Kayak and Snorkel Tours. Then after a sudden need in 2018, she founded Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab.  On a recent holiday to Bonaire, Kate was lucky enough to meet Elly and get a tour of the facility. A highlight of her life for sure! Watch our socials for videos and pictures of the flamingos, and Tiny!- The Rehab's most recent intake and the youngest baby they have rescued yet! Lots of Love.

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Sloane Hawes, Chief of Research and Development at CARE, which stands for Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity.  Founded in 2020, CARE is America’s first national Black, Indigenous, and People of Color [BIPOC] led animal welfare organization. The primary focus of CARE  is “to rethink and rebuild Animal Welfare [Animal Protection]. Our goal is to do this in a way that honors and reflects the well being of all people; making human and animal well being our primary focus.” We have been following CARE’s work since they were founded by CEO James Evans, and tracking the new pathways and connections they have been forging in context to animal welfare and the BIPOC communities.  Sloane and the work CARE are doing are leaders in this field and unique in the intersections they amplify and work within. Thanks so much to Sloane for taking on big questions with many layers and giving us BIG answers.  And it’s not just about equity. Turns out, it’s all about LOVE.  Lots of Love.

In this week’s conversation, we are speaking with William Housty, Associate Director of the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department in Bella Bella, British Columbia. The HIRMD are in charge of overseeing the management of all natural resources in the Heiltsuk territory, including the beautiful and captivating sea wolves.   There is an air of magic and mystery about these sea swimming wolves that compel you to want to know, who are these beings and what is their story. William Housty tells us that story and what sea wolves mean to not only him, but to the Heiltsuk Nation. There are moments when you look into the eyes of another species and see into their being and know there is more… there is a story of life, suffering, and beauty, and a deep recognition and resonance. You know all at once you are not separate from or above them, but tied through a millennium of evolution and kinship.  Thank you to William for inviting us into this story of the sea wolf. We are so grateful for the chance to listen and to see.  Lots of Love.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Bear Biologist Chris Servheen. We finally get to meet our grizzly bear fears head-on and dispel all the misinformation that we have been wondering about for years!   We were so lucky to have been able to speak with Chris, one of if not the leading bear biologists in this country.  Chris has been working tirelessly for his entire career advocating for the health and protection of one the most incredible and majestic predators in the world, the grizzly bear. After a long and distinguished career to ensure that the bears were protected under the federal Endangered Species Act he retired. Until he didn’t.  Join us to learn all about what brought Chris out of retirement, what makes grizzlies legendary, and the secret to their magic. Lots of Love.

In this week’s conversation, we speak with Lance Foster, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. You know when you hear an idea and it hits you like “Oh my gosh, of course”? Well, that was my reaction when I heard Lance Foster talking on NPR about the work he is doing in gaining rights and legal standing for natural entities, like rivers. Yes. Rivers. And specifically like the river he lives near, the mighty Missouri! Lance walks us through what this all means, and why gaining civil rights for natural entities isn't just about protecting their health against pollution and climate change, but because of what systems like rivers are; beings that hold within them a whole world. A world much like our human bodies. An entity with Spirit. Thanks so much to Lance for his depth of insight and for offering us a new (or not so new) way of seeing the world. Seeing rivers, mountains, forests, and even, our trucks. Lots of Love.

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dr. Andrea Reid, a citizen of the Nisga’a Nation and assistant professor with the University of British Columbia’s Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries and the principal investigator at the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries. Andrea launched the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries and leads an incredible team where they are working to “build momentum and action in support of the study and protection of culturally significant fish and fisheries” (quoted from cif.fish). We learned about fish, specifically salmon and Andreas' favorite, the beautiful sockeye salmon, in context to Indigenous knowledge and science, and breaking down the differences between Native fishing practices and the western fishing industry. We wade into the world of salmon in connection to land,  fishing practices, and place and what this all means not only to the indigenous nations of Canada but to the world of ecology and conservation.  Andrea’s work is critical in navigating and healing the deeply damaging results of years of industry fishing and their indiscriminate methods of fishing and the devastating effects that “discard” or “by-catch” have on freshwater species and on rivers, people, and the ecosystem they live with. Thanks again to Dr. Andrea Reid for taking this time with us. It’s a conversation we are still having in our minds and hearts weeks after our recording with her. Lots of Love.Show Notes:https://oceans.ubc.ca/2023/05/19/andrea-reid/https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/decolonizing-methodologies-9781786998125/https://www.firstvoices.com/nisgaa/https://www.cif.fish/Please find out more info and message us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kindredpodcast.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @thekindredpod ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Kindred⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please support us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to us on Apple Podcasts Please follow, rate, and review - wherever you listen to your podcasts.

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Dr. David Scheel, behavioural ecologist and professor of marine biology at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, Alaska. David takes us into the wild and wonderful world of octopuses and we get a glimpse into the mysteries they hold. We also dive into his new book  Many Things Under A Rock: The Mysteries of Octopuses where David takes us around the world and into the very dens of these extraordinary animals.  As exotic as octopuses are, their behaviour can feel…relatable. But throughout history western culture has in some cases almost demonised them, missing so much of what makes them so intriguing; their intelligence, incredible sensory abilities, physiology, and maybe the most interesting thing about them, their daily lives.  Thanks so much to David for introducing us to the beautiful, intelligent, dynamic, miraculous, and quite sensible, Octopus. An animal that no doubt has a very real sense of humour.  And maybe most importantly we put to rest the debate of “octopuses” or “octopi.” You’re welcome. And you’re right! Lots of Love.

In this week’s episode, we speak with long-haul hiker and adventurer Melanie Vogel. Melanie is the first woman to walk the Trans Canada Trail, the longest recreational trail in the world.  She walked from the Atlantic Ocean across and up to the Arctic Ocean, then down and over to the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 21,000 kilometers. Solo. Melanie’s story is one of unexpected connections, harrowing experiences, brutal weather, stunning beauty, finding a soul mate, finding oneself, and the slow and emerging awareness of what it is to be human. We were spellbound by her story of letting go of fear, anxiety, and control that we carry in our daily lives, and emerging as her true self - more than she had ever felt before. And this story holds, to date, my most favorite meet-cute. Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn have nothing on this one.  Please rate and review us! And share this episode with your people.

In this week’s episode, we speak with psychologist Jill Suttie, staff writer and contributing editor for the Greater Good Science Center, at University of California, Berkeley.  Jill connects us to how being in nature helps us on a deep psychological, neurological, and overall physical level. We wanted to know what was actually happening in our brains and bodies when we spend time in nature and how those experiences translate to our mental and physical health.  We all know we love being around the beauty and calm of nature but how does it support our health?

In this week’s episode, we travel to Egypt and speak with equine veterinarian Dr. Farah ElMallah. What an absolute joy to speak with such an intelligent, driven, and passionate human about her work healing some of the most broken animals in the world: the horses and donkeys of the working and tourism industries.  Farah explained so clearly why specific kinds of work (and how much is asked of these hard-working animals) are so brutal for them. All too often she has seen the broken spirits in the eyes of horses and donkeys. And if you know horses at all you’ll know the beauty and majesty of their true spirit, and you’ll know the heartbreak of a horse with a broken soul. Please listen and share this episode. These animals need our compassion and we can help! Never use animals bound to the tourism industry.  Deep gratitude to Dr. Farah ElMallah for her dedication and in healing and supporting equines for the quality of life they deserve!

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dawood Mohammad, founder of Animal Rescue Kashmir (ARK) about how and why he started doing rescue work in Kashmir, and the often heartbreaking relentless experience of helping the dogs, horses, cats, and other animals on the streets of Kashmir. We were deeply moved and struck by his account, and where he finds the strength to keep doing this work at whatever cost to him. Here in the US, it’s the season of giving and gratitude and it’s times like this that we lend our focus to helping others especially. ARK needs support in the form of volunteers, but mostly from those of us oceans away, they need donations.  Please consider donating, even just $5, to this cause. There is never a day that ARK is operating above water and Dawood needs our help. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us with any questions at thekindredpod@gmail.com.

In this week’s conversation, we speak with Dr. Laurie Marker, founder and executive director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). Dr. Marker walks us through the history of the plight of cheetahs, and how she and CCF have saved this exquisite species from certain near extinction to now introducing them to places around the world where the cheetah has long been absent. Dr. Marker tells us about the incredible programs working to solve the human-wildlife conflict in the context of cheetahs, and the enterprising ways CCF is educating and supporting local farmers.  We loved hearing about the breeding and training program with Anatolian shepherd dogs, a Turkish guard dog, to help protect local farmers’ flocks, but wait, did she say…..guardian DONKEYS?  Listen here and fall in love with this incredible success story in the making and how one woman made it her life mission to save this vulnerable, beautiful, and iconic cat.  Thanks again to Laurie and CCF!

In this week’s episode, we speak with (multiple-time!) bestselling author, Sy Montgomery about her deep connection, understanding, and passion for animals. We were lucky enough to have this conversion on the day her most recent book launched, titled, Of Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell. In this book, Sy gives us an intimate gaze into the world of the turtle and inspires us to save and protect this incredible animal, one that’s quiet and stoic, has bursts of humor and speed, moments of sweetness and love, and an overall sense of longevity, steadiness, and a deep understanding of time. For us, Sy Montgomery embodies Kindred and is an inspiration and lamplighter in a time when this planet needs as many enlightened leaders as possible.  Also, please check out Matt Patterson and his amazing artwork.

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dr. Mathias Osvath, Cognitive Zoologist at Lund University about all things corvids and specifically the raven. We’ve known how smart these birds are but, um, did not realize HOW smart! You will never look at a crow, magpie, jay, nutcracker, jackdaw, rook, or raven (all corvids) the same after listening to this conversation.  Thank you to Dr. Osvath for taking a super brainy subject and breaking it down for us on Kindred so that we can understand how and why corvids are so intelligent. And the part where he talks about a baby raven practicing their little raven croak in a corner by themselves?….Unbearably cute. Plus many more incredible anecdotes.

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dr. Wai-Ming Wong, the director of small cat conservation science for the organization Panthera. Dr. Wong introduces us to only a few of the 33 small wild cat species (there’s a fishing cat?!?) and breaks down why we know so little about them! We love learning about the little ones out there, and it turns out these small creatures have BIG lives and personalities.  Grateful to Dr. Wong for explaining why small wild cats are so important and why, often, it's these types of animals that are a real barometer for the health of an ecosystem and a gauge on the state of climate change. We are so charmed by these two-and-a-half-pound cats, and who wouldn’t be with a kill rate of 60%! Not many animals can boast that! And maybe don’t let your house cats listen…they might get jealous.

In this week’s episode, we speak with Rachel Gardner, the conservation translocation officer for the executive agency Forestry England, about her job in species reintroductions.  Rachel takes us on a walk  back in time into England’s ancient forests and shows us what the future of forests and the landscape could look like. She talks about her work in species reintroductions and recovery projects with their Forest Wilding Programs, and the delicate but critical balance that’s needed to restore the health and diversity of forests and landscapes across the island of England. Forestry England says that “measuring and monitoring change” should be the bedrock of the larger plan and looking well into the future and what can be established now is critical to a successful plan. You could call this episode “Forests & Fairytales” after listening to Rachel tell the story of England’s forests over time. There is something magical there, and saving these spaces of ancient beauty not only for us but for the creatures that live there is worth the incredible effort that Forestry England is making. A fairy tale worth telling for centuries to come. Lots of Love Forestry England  White Tailed Eagles - Forestry England Kindred is hosted by Kate Coffin and Jenn Asplundh.

In this week’s episode, we speak with Matt Rader, the President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. We dig deep into environmental justice and what it means for people to have access to green spaces and the many positive effects it has not only on the aesthetic of a city but the many mental, physical, social, and overall health benefits.  We’ve been wanting to cover this for a long time and Matt beautifully walks us through what environmental justice is, how it affects all of us, and the many models and programs PHS has put into effect to give Philadelphia access, experience, and a deeper and healthier connection to nature.  We are so grateful to PHS and Matt Rader for his time, heart, and absolute dedication to getting Philly more access, agency, and connection to all things green.  Lots of Love.

In this week’s episode, we speak with wildlife photographer Meaghan Garrahan. Meaghan talks to us about why she got into wildlife photography, what it means to her, and what she hopes to offer not only us but the world she captures. Two things stand out about Meaghan’s work. One is the detail, intensity, and mood that her images hold, and two, the fact that this is a relatively recent focus for her.  One of her most powerful images is that of a keen-eyed golden eagle, quiet and powerful, emerging in flight from a cloud of mist. Within this image holds a similar energy Meaghan carries through her lens. Find her Instagram account @meagahan and look out for her image of the little fox, watching the sunset on the beautiful sandy dunes of Cape Cod. You’ll get what I mean.  Lots of Love Meaghan Garrahan's Website Meaghan Garrahan's Instagram Kindred is hosted by Kate Coffin and Jenn Asplundh.

In this week’s episode, we speak with wolf researcher, interpreter, and award-winning author, Rick McIntyre. Wolves are one of our favorite beings to talk about and to be able to speak with Rick about them is an honor and an absolute joy. In 1996, wolves were relocated from Canada to Yellowstone National Park and thus began the Wolf Reintroduction Project. What would follow would not only greatly impact the park and wolf conservation, but the incredible story of these wolves would travel across the world, enamoring hundreds of thousands of travelers to Yellowstone, and changing the way we see wolves and their families forever. Rick captures the trials and tribulations of pack life, doggedly documenting the growing packs in a detailed account while witnessing them for years upon years, which ultimately resulted in the book series Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone. It is because of the extraordinary work he did with the Wolf Project that he became known as “The Wolf Interpreter.” Thanks so much for listening and sharing. Lots of Love.

In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Andy Suarez, head of the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on all things ants. Although we didn't get a chance to cover all 15,000 different species of ants, Dr. Suarez takes us underground into the life of ants, how they operate, and what an absolutely critical part they play in all our ecosystems. Dr. Suarez highlights not only how critical they are to the health of our planet, but also what the study of ants' biology and behavior are contributing to us humans.  It's truly the tiny ones that we take the most for granted that make the world go round.

In this week's episode, we are checking in with Dr. Kate Stafford about the state of the Arctic. Dr. Stafford talks about her latest trip back and what's been going on with the Bowhead whale in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, north and northwest of Alaska. Dr. Stafford talks about the rapid pace of the melting ice, and the impact this is making not only to the sweet Bowhead whale but to the Inupiaq people of Alaska. It's a chilling recounting of what she is seeing out on the melting ice. We are left with more questions than answers but one thing we know, the Bowhead whales are in trouble. We last spoke with Dr. Stafford in our previous episode #11 called The Song Birds of the Ocean. Please listen to that conversation if you haven't already. Lots of Love.

In this week's conversation, we speak with Tracy Wilson, the Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) on a critical subject we knew little to nothing about the wild Mustangs and Burros of the West and North Western United States. She walks us through their challenges, the critical edge they live on, and why we must save this iconic historical animal. AWHC believes "There Is A Better Way" to work with supporting and managing these beautiful and powerful animals through programs like their fertility control, or PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida) the largest program of its kind in the world today. However, brutal and inhumane management via roundups by helicopter still remains the method of corralling the horses and burros, creating chaos, injury, extreme stress, and death. We also believe there is a better way. And we find out what that is, and what we owe these animals that long to live wild and free on our American landscape.

We’ve asked Shawn Heinrichs to drop in and walk us through what has happened at a few of the big conventions, like COP 15, COP 27, and CITES, as far as what concrete action has been implemented in support of slowing climate change and specifically in context to protecting the high seas and marine wildlife. He gives us the reality check we all need, and more importantly how our oceans and the beings that live in them are desperately trying to survive in a brutal climate of indiscriminate fishing and our human “out of sight, out of mind” perspective.

In this week's conversation, we speak with Dr. Kelly Slattery of Home & Shore Vet about grief in specific context to the non-human members of our families. Grief and losing a loved one, human or non-human, is something nearly all of us have experienced and we feel the topic of grief is a really important one to cover and one that is often shied away from because, well, it's a tough subject. But Kelly walked with us through this whole conversation with grace and a deep understanding of the beautiful bond we have with our pets, and why it's so hard to lose them. We're so grateful to Kelly for her kindness and the grounded space she created for this episode. We are dedicating this episode to not only the loved ones we have lost, but to the people who are going through a tough time. We hope you feel seen and heard and maybe not so alone. Lots of Love.

In this week's conversation, we speak with Dr. Elaine Ostrander about all things dogs and why they look like they do. In layman's terms, Dr. Ostrander explains how dogs don't often look like their closest genetic relatives, the wolf. She answers the long standing question and for us the mystery, of how Freddy the Great Dane doesn't look like Franky the Dachshund. We might even have those fancy Victorians to thank for it.
