Wolf Connection is amazing. They are best-in-class animal care givers and leaders in the animal sanctuary and education space. I really love the episode about Dire Wolves. It lwas such a great conversation about the Dire Wolves, wolf care, and what it takes to care for animals at this level. Great listen.

Kborgjr · Apr 2025

Love the subject. Hosts and guest seem like really great folks. From the episodes I’ve listened to the questions to the guests being interviewed feel random/disorganized. I also would like a basic, more zoomed out view and introduction to each subject at hand before delving into what feels like random interest points of the interviewer. Like when listening to an episode about wolves in Chernobyl I’d like to have some basic info about the size of the exclusion zone and how many wolves make their home there. The host asks what countries the exclusion zone is in in the last 5 minutes of the episode. When listening to an episode about the state of wolves in Washington I’d like to know how many packs there are in the state and if there are any wolves in western Washington (there was one pack established I’m not sure what happened to it). These are just examples but I’m sure the guests could give really great snapshots of their areas of study if prompted. It’s hard for me to jump around to various specific details without first having some basic context at the landscape level. Thanks!

Great podcast. If you care about wolves, predators or wildlife and conservation in general this pod is for you! I particularly appreciate the 3 (4?) part series on the depraved Cody Roberts wolf incident.

steve from carmel, ca · Apr 2024

Generally enjoy this podcast but just listened to episode 169 on the Wyoming wolf incident and thought it was a strange and glaring omission that they never discussed what the incident actually was! Very weird. Too indelicate to describe?? I had read about it and knew the story but not everyone has. It should have been summarized at the very least and not tiptoed around. People need to know the facts, even the unpalatable ones.
