Summary
#35: An epic wolf journey becomes a lens on everything from ecology to migration, borders, and what it means to coexist with the wild in modern Europe. In this episode, writer and adventurer Adam Weymouth joins us to talk about his book Lone Wolf: Walking the Line Between Civilization and Wilderness. Weymouth retraces the thousand-mile path of an iconic wolf named Slavc, tracked by GPS as he traveled from Slovenia across Austria and the Alps to northern Italy—moving through deep wilderness, but also skirting suburbs, airports, and working farmland. Along the way, we explore the long, complicated history between humans and wildlife, the politics shaping species repopulation and rewilding across Europe, and the cultural stories that still cast the wolf as the villain. We dig into Weymouth's reporting and creative process: walking the route in stages, translating conversations across languages, balancing science with storytelling, and resisting the urge to turn the wolf into a mythic hero or monster. It's a conversation about nature and culture, fear and fascination, and the hope embedded in a species finding its way back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
