LANSING — With an astounding 1.75 million available podcasts out there on just about every topic, how do you decide? Well, if you’re looking for a listen on all things habitat, feathers and fur, check out “Wildtalk” from the DNR Wildlife Division – a new episode comes out the first of each month.
“We’re really excited for this year’s lineup of interviews and topics,” said Rachel Leightner, one of the podcast’s hosts. “January’s episode features a conversation with Nick Buggia, chair of the Michigan Wildlife Council.”
The council is a governor-appointed, nine-member public body that works to promote the importance of wildlife conservation and its role in preserving Michigan’s great outdoor heritage for future generations.
This month, “Wildtalk” hosts also will talk about wildlife and habitat work happening around the state, shine a spotlight on the snowy owl and answer listener questions from the mailbag. As always, listeners will get the chance to win a signature camp mug.
“These mugs are very popular,” said host Hannah Schauer. “The only way you can get one is to listen to the podcast each month.”
Catch the program on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or on your computer at Michigan.gov/DNRWildtalk. Past episodes, show notes and transcripts are available there, too.
