Hosted by Justin Townsend and the Harvesting Nature team, the show goes beyond recipes and hunting stories to examine how food is grown, harvested, preserved, and carried through real life. Each episode dives into the whole wild food system, from hunting, fishing, and foraging to butchery, preservation, and cooking, while asking more profound questions about sustainability, tradition, and how people have continuously fed themselves from the land. Along the way, Justin and his co-hosts are joined by chefs, hunters, foragers, biologists, writers, and cultural knowledge-keepers who help connect ecology to the table. Whether discussing regional foodscapes, seasonal harvests, preservation techniques, or modern wild-food culture, the Wild Fish and Game Podcast is about learning to eat with the land rather than against it. Harvesting Nature is a wild food media company dedicated to education, conservation, and self-reliance through hunting, fishing, and foraging. Questions, feedback, and guest suggestions can be sent to whatscooking@harvestingnature.com.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wild-fish-and-game-podcast-22214"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 269: Wild Game Is More Than Protein","slug":"episode-269-wild-game-is-more-than-protein","published_at":"2026-03-31T08:25:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wild-fish-and-game-podcast-22214/episode-269-wild-game-is-more-than-protein","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wild-fish-and-game-podcast-22214","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/WPCM8828993779.mp3?updated=1774886297","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/WPCM8828993779.mp3?updated=1774886297","summary":"Summary: This episode explores the full value of wild animals beyond just protein, emphasizing traditional and cultural uses of all animal parts, including fat, marrow, organs, and connective tissues.
