A wild encounter with cougar cubs in a Snoqualmie backyard is followed by a journey through the once war-torn expanses of eastern Germany in search of wolves. The first episodes of ecologist Chris Morgan’s new podcast, The Wild, highlights these types of rapid human encroachment on nature and the strategies we can adopt to coexist with the creatures who dwell there. The 12-episode KUOW podcast follows Morgan from the snowcapped mountains of Italy to the shores of Seattle in search of the creatures we rarely encounter. Winner of numerous awards and a regular host for National Geographic, BBC and Discovery Channel productions, Bellingham-based Morgan is also an educator and one of the world’s premier bear experts. Conservation, he believes, depends on people grasping the connection between their well-being and that of wildlife. Through its thought-provoking yet humorous content, Morgan’s podcast should encourage listeners to venture into nature and make that connection.

Winter Isn’t Over Yet
Why now might be the best time to take your kids skiing.
For many avid skiers in the Pacific Northwest, this winter has been a bust. Drier-than-normal conditions and a lack of snow have put a real damper on powder days, lift operations, and access to the mountains. As an avid backcountry skier, I’ve noticed the lean conditions and have not made it a priority to get…

REI brings back guided travel, betting that memories matter more than stuff.
In my household, with two young boys under the age of five, we often have to remind them to take things back. Did you really mean to tell dad that his dinner isn’t good? You might want to take that back. Did your brother deserve to be hit? Let’s rethink that one. Extreme analogies aside,…
