The Fair Chase with Jamez Zandstra
Today’s guest is someone who’s been steadily building a voice in the hunting world that’s both thoughtful and grounded in tradition. I’m joined by James Zandstra, one-half of The Fair Chase. If you’ve spent any time around hunting media, you’ve probably come across The Fair Chase — a platform that isn’t just about the hunt itself, but about the philosophy behind it. Ethics, conservation, storytelling — James and his team are helping reshape what it means to be a modern hunter. In this conversation, we’re going to dig into James’s background, how The Fair Chase got started, and what he sees as the biggest challenges — and opportunities — facing hunters today. We’ll also talk about storytelling in the outdoor space, balancing tradition with change, and why the idea of “fair chase” still matters more than ever.

Our Numinous Nature with Philippe Willis
Today’s guest is a man who didn’t just rethink his worldview—he rebuilt his life around it. Philippe Willis is the voice behind Our Numinous Nature, and his journey is anything but conventional. Once a city slicker, Philippe traded pavement for peaks and now lives deep in the mountains of West Virginia with his bride, embracing life as a full-on Appalachian mountain man. From that vantage point, he’s immersed himself in the living traditions of the region—studying Appalachian history, cultural archaeology, folklore, and oral traditions. But his curiosity doesn’t stop there. Philippe’s work reaches outward, drawing connections between cultures across the globe while staying rooted in the rhythms, stories, and spirit of Appalachia. What makes his perspective so compelling is the way he bridges worlds—the modern and the ancient, the intellectual and the intuitive, the local and the universal. He reminds us that culture isn’t just something we study—it’s something we live, inherit, and participate in. In this conversation, we explore the numinous through the lens of place, tradition, and story—how the land shapes consciousness, how folklore carries truth, and what it means to truly belong somewhere. So if you’ve ever felt the pull of the mountains, the mystery of old stories, or the sense that wisdom lives in the land itself—this one’s for you.

National Black Bear Festival with Tom Harrison
Join host Matthew Morris and guest Tom Harrison as they discuss the "Amazon of North Carolina," the beautiful Roanoke River watershed and the National Black Bear Festival in Plymouth, NC. The wildly successful Black Bear Festival was founded at the epicenter center of the black bear universe in Plymouth, NC. Nearby Plymouth is the home to the world’s largest black bears, the highest black bear densities on the planet, as well as the best public bear viewing in NC. These coastal giant black bears flourish here due to the abundance of high protein crops, mild winters, wonderful habitat, and perhaps even genetics. The award-winning Black Bear Festival was created to celebrate these magnificent animals and educate the public about them in fun and interactive ways. The event takes place each year on the first Saturday in June on Plymouth’s historic waterfront on the banks of NC’s Amazon – the Roanoke River.
