re: Wild

By: Boyce Upholt
  • Summary

  • How do we live on this Earth? How should we? Our answers to these questions are shaped by our idea of "nature" as something separate from humanity. re: Wild is a series of conversations with people who are pushing the boundaries of that old idea. We'll talk to people who -- instead of conceiving of the wilderness as a place apart -- live, eat, and work in a more-than-human world. New episodes drop twice a month, on the first and third Wednesdays.
