    Ep. 20: Coyote: America’s Jackal and Its Roller-Coaster Ride Through History
    Jan 27 2026

    Like no other western animal the coyote has been a central character in the Pleistocene West, the Native West, and the Frontier. One of the epic stories of the Modern West is how coyotes are transferring their own brand of western survivalism to the entire country. Despite a $500 million-dollar war to exterminate them, the coyote is in fact The Dude, and The Dude absolutely abides.

    Ep. 19: Shadows of the Frontier
    Jan 13 2026

    When the U.S. Census announced in 1890 that the Frontier was over, America was plunged into a period of anxiety. As evidenced by the grand Indian photographs of Edward Sheriff Curtis, western nostalgia became a dominant theme of art, film, and pop culture. Another artist of the age, though, showed that the West endures into the modern age.

  • Ep. 18: From Safari American-Style to the Boone & Crockett Club

    Ep. 18: From Safari American-Style to the Boone & Crockett Club
    Dec 30 2025

    When the long-term market exploitation of wildlife was joined by a form of elite safari hunting known as “field sports,” a massive destruction of western animals threatened to destroy millions of years of North American evolution. Teddy Roosevelt’s and George Grinnell’s Boone & Crockett Club wasn’t perfect, but it helped government usher in a new stage before Wild Wild West anarchy could run its course.

There is something about listening to an expert speak on a subject that you can't really put into words. This type of work should be celebrated. Thank you, Professor Flores and thank you, Steve Rinella!

I've been a fan of Professor Flores since first coming across his work in American Serengeti. He's able to deftly balance factual description with scientific and historical explanation/analysis, while infusing the totality with a sense of wonder, awe, and mystery. He captures the essence of the west more than any other writer I've read. In this podcast, he's at peak performance. In addition to the breadth of knowledge conveyed, Professor Flores is a master of the penetrating vignette to illuminate key points of analysis and understanding. I'm really enjoying the format of a prepared exposition followed by discussion with Steven and Randall, two intelligent and entertaining interlocutors. All in all, top notch. My favorite podcast of all time.

Dan Flores at the height of his powers!
