Into the Wild with Brooke Williams

Wild Connection

Hi Everyone, welcome back to a new episode of Wild Connection. You may have noticed there was a short break and that is because I had some traveling to do. I also have some big news that is going to impact the podcast. I will be going to Uganda, to a place called Bwindi Impenetrable Forest soon and I am hoping to bring you new episodes from there. If people in the communities are willing to share their stories and experiences then you will get to hear them. So please support the podcast and spread the word if you are enjoying it.

This week’s guest is pretty special. Brooke Williams has spent the last thirty years advocating for wilderness. He is the author of four books, including Halflives: Reconciling Work and Wildness. And when he’s not writing books he’s teaching courses and spending time in the desert in Utah, where he lives. You may think the desert has no seasons, but Brooke will be quick to tell you this isn’t true and if you slow down enough you can witness the changing tides out in the desert. But those tides are changing. There is more heat, more fire, more floods. I connected with Brooke to talk about his latest book Mary Jane Wild: Two walks and a Rant. As you will hear, he is inviting you into his experience.

You can pick up a copy of his latest book

on Amazon or you may just find it in a local bookstore. Let's support those local bookstores.
