• Episode 550 - Ed Stoddard || A Human Rights Travesty, Part 2

  In this follow-up episode to Part 1 (if you didn't listen to Part 1 - go back and listen to it) - Robbie wanted to talk to someone else that has been on the ground in this part of the world, to hear an eye-witness account of what is happening. Robbie is joined by Ed Stoddard, a journalist out of South Africa for the Daily Maverick, to follow up on Mike Labuschagne’s episode about Kasungu National Park in Malawi. Ed, in this episode, recounts his personal invitation from Mike to come see the travesty happening on the Zambian side of the border. Ed witnessed first hand the effect of these elephants, which was the largest translocation of elephants ever attempted, and the impact it is having on the people living next to the park on the Zambian and Malawi sides.  Get to know the guest: https://www.fieldsportschannel.tv/fieldsportschannelpodcast99/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4690794/Dramatic-moment-notorious-ivory-poachers-gang-caught.html Do you have questions we can answer?

• Episode 549 - Mike Labuschagne || A Human Rights Travesty, Part 1

  There is big news coming out of the Zambian - Malawi Border this past week. A relocation of 263 elephants into Kasungu National Park has led to a human rights travesty. This travesty has now been picked up by a law firm in the United Kingdom that is about to file a class action lawsuit against IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) - arguably one of, if not the, largest NGO in the world. In this longer-than-normal episode, Robbie kicks off our series on Kasungu in Zambia with someone who has been on the ground in the area for 20+ years. Mike Labuschagne has been working in the Kasungu area for two decades, and at one point was even employed by IFAW. He is the force behind exposing the human rights travesty, and has an important story to tell on human wildlife conflict, investment, and sets the stage for one of the most important, if underreported, wildlife conflicts in the world right now.  Get to know the guest: https://www.fieldsportschannel.tv/fieldsportschannelpodcast99/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4690794/Dramatic-moment-notorious-ivory-poachers-gang-caught.html Do you have questions we can answer?

• Episode 548 - Barry Cromhout || The Business Card

  Barry Cromhout is a total unknown to both Robbie and our listeners - but after listening to Robbie on Andy Stump’s Cleared Heart podcast describing his grandfather Leo Kroger and his gun - he realized he’d met Robbie’s grandfather in 1998 and is one of the only remaining people with one of his wooden business cards. After exchanging a photo, Robbie invited him on for this episode, where the two exchange stories about the man, Leo Kroger, and the “Wild impression” he left on Barry Cromhout in 1998.

• Episode 547 - Rob McCanna || For The Record, What Is The Future Of DSC?

  There have been significant rumors and discussions about DSC's future since the Atlanta show in January of 2025. The show was not a success, and as such there have been rumbling from exhibitors, partners, and others about what DSC will do next. Robbie reached out to DSC CEO Rob McCanna to come on the podcast and talk about all of it, post the press release that just came out explaining the route forward for DSC over the next 5 years. Rob talks about his tenure as the new CEO, addresses rumors about the show and the move from Dallas to Atlanta, and provides a vision for the future of what they’re going to do next and where they go from here. He explains the mistakes that were made, and the measures being put in place to rectify those mistakes, and puts to bed the internet bashing and rumor mills.
