Human stories from wild places around the world.
This part-Brit part-South-African from America interviews guests with both deep knowledge and entertaining stories in their back pocket.
From old traditions to modern technologies. From hunting, fishing, foraging, homesteading, tracking, tanning... even to animal communication... we celebrate the wild skills and adventures that make our species thrive.

EP:026 Larry Knowles on edible seaweed, spear-fishing & the life aquatic
For decades Larry has been fishing and foraging for the tastiest ocean snacks Northern California has to offer. Not only feeding himself and the people he cares about, but also selling healthy products through his environmentally conscious seaweed snack company — Rising Tide Sea Vegetables.
Larry has a deep understanding of coastal habitats in Northern California. Through his stories we hear the events that shaped his perspective on our place in the eco system, the problems with mass scale food production, and the common misconceptions of human impact. We also learn some tips and tricks on the best way to approach harvesting sea veggies and fish for ourselves.
Thanks again to Larry for sharing his time with us today!
You can find his foods at Rising tide sea vegetables
