    Ep. 357 (Coffee Time) Legalized Hunting on National Parks and Grazing Leases on BLM Ground

    05/13/2026 | 58 mins.
    We dig into two big conservation stories... the Trump administration's memo opening select national park lands and wildlife refuges to hunting, and the BLM's decision to revoke American Prairie Reserve's bison grazing leases. We weigh both sides honestly and talk about what it means for the long game.

    Keith Horn stopped for coffee and a donut on his way mushroom hunting. A real estate sign a block away changed the course of his life. The 50 acres he bought in 2001 turned out to be the most diverse prairie we have ever seen, hosting 665 native species across five prairie types.

    Ep. 353 (Coffee Time) How Trees Affect Mental Health and A New Study on Agrochemicals and Cancer

    04/29/2026 | 42 mins.
    Trees cut depression by a third, reduce crime, and make people spend more money. That's what the research says. Then the team brings a brand new Nature Medicine study linking Tordon herbicide to early-onset colorectal cancer, and the maps are nearly identical.
