Episode 2 - Wild Lands, Wild Minds: An Arctic Conversation with Ryan Callaghan
Sam Soholt sits down with Ryan Callaghan from MeatEater fame for an unforgettable dive into the Arctic wilderness and beyond. Together, they swap stories from remote places where biting cold and vast landscapes shift your entire outlook on life.
But this conversation is about more than adventure. Sam and Ryan dig deep into why wild places matter — not just for those who hunt or fish, but for every American who treasures the freedom to roam public lands. They explore how technology can help conservation rather than harm it, and why telling personal stories might be our most powerful tool for protecting the places we love.
From the anxiety of watching wild lands disappear to the hope found in grassroots movements, this episode is a rallying cry for anyone who believes that the wild should remain wild — for us, and for the generations coming
