“The practice of Kinning as Porous beings”
Green Dreamer, with host Kamea Chayne
“Kinship is as close as your next footfall. It's as close as your next breath. It's an affirmation of your belonging to your place and to this planet.”
“Urban Ecologies: Where’s Nature in the City?”
Lifeworlds, with host Alexa Firmenich
How do animals disrupt our associations of what cities are ? What even is urban wildness? How do we imagine ourselves into these other types of being which would expand our empathic imaginations?
“Kinship and Foraging Stories”
Becoming Nature, with host Carina Lyall
This was a fun and wide-ranging conversation about kinship, the urban wild, and immersion in the little moments instead of looking for the big epiphany. There was also a lot of laughter—always a good thing.
“eye-to-eye animal encounters”
To the Best of Our Knowledge (Wisconsin Public Radio), with hosts Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson
I had the privilege of being featured in this episode about the surprising impacts of the “mutual gaze,” when our eyes meet the eyes of another animal. This episode is the first in a larger series of radio shows and podcasts related to the Kinship project and is sponsored by the Kalliopeia Foundation.
“Wildness in the city”
Think Radio, with host Alan Wartes
In this episode, Alan and I discuss my book The Way of Coyote a little bit. Mainly we talk about my background in the academic study of religion, how that intersects with nature, and I share a life-epiphany when I cried into my snorkeling mask while diving in the Red Sea.
“The Wild Bunch: A Conversation with Curt Meine and Gavin Van Horn”
Edge Effects, with host Daegan Miller
Daegan and I discuss a book I co-edited (with John Hausdoerffer), Wildness, as well as my “kayak-to-work” foolhardiness when I kayaked from Evanston to downtown Chicago on the beleaguered and beautiful Chicago River.
