Send us a textTicks. Nobody likes them. They carry and spread diseases to people, wildlife and pets. This spread is made worse by misinformation about tick ecology and behavior. In this episode I sat down with Dr Thomas Mather, one of the nation’s foremost experts on ticks to dispel myths and help people learn what they need to do to prevent getting bit and infected by these terrible diseases. Check out more articles and research about ticks at tick encounter and if you catch and tick and want to know what kind it is and what diseases it might be carrying you can take a picture and send it to tick spotters, where they’ll get back to you within 24 hours.Â

Gyotaku with Makai Impressions
Send us a textOne of my favorite forms of animal art is gyotaku, the centuries old process of making prints using ink, fabric or paper, and the natural textures of a fish. Brandon has been practicing this art form for 16 years and it’s now his full time job— people from all over the world send him fish to make his prints. This episode is all about the combination of fishing, food and art. We all like that. Follow Makai Impressions on Instagram and check out their work.Â

He also used to take cruise ship tourists on trips to view bears and you’ll want to hang out until the end of the episode to hear that one. Trust me. Follow his Instagram here.Â
