Raw, authentic, we explore Rich’s transition into a hunter and the intricate details of our heart as hunters during this short and sharp conversation. This conversation specifically dives into the why behind why hunters hunt, especially Rich - asking the question - why do you hunt?

Kody Bidwell, who replaced Travis Thompson at All Florida, joins Robbie to talk about the new black bear harvest season out of Florida. This will be the second year of the Florida Black Bear Season and the politics are already at play. Last year, after a crazy controversy where anti hunters bought up a bunch of tags, backfiring into the quota actually going UP this year because of science (a 25% increase!), Robbie and Kody get into the nuances of this second season, with Kody telling us the lay of the land and what things are looking like on the ground in Florida.  Do you have questions we can answer?

Safari Club International Liaison (and South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment alum) Mpho Tjiane, based out of Jo-Burg, South Africa, joins Robbie to talk about recent news in CITES quotas for South Africa. South Africa released their 2026-2027 export quota this week, and Mpho dove into what that means for hunting and conservation. Mpho is the perfect person to explain this, including the context of how we got here because he was in the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and Environment, as the CITES lead when the quotas were pulled and the litigation occurred.

There is a thing called the "Governor's Tag" in our wildlife management system. It’s an often expensive tag that is accused to be antithetical to the North American Wildlife Model - because only the rich get to play in that proverbial sand-box. This is why Robbie went to New Mexico to start a documentary around this "Governor's Tag" - there is no better place to do this than in New Mexico. Robbie sits down live with John Mark Matkin, following his three-year journey to hunt New Mexico’s coveted Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep after ultimately winning the state’s Governor’s Tag for $1 MILLION. Robbie and John Mark are joined by outfitters/guides Jim Breck and GT, John brings us through the failed bids, setbacks, surgeries, and determination that finally led him to an extraordinary 200-plus-inch ram in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. There is so much more to this story than this podcast, but this is the beginning.  Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie sits down with Kristie Gill, a PhD student out of the College of Natural Resources at the University of Georgia, doing her field work in South Africa. Kristie has an incredible journey from an anti hunter to actually becoming PRO hunting and the evolution of her preconceived notions to opening her eyes to the realities of wildlife conservation. This all started with her first visit to South Africa and someone taking the time to explain to her the value of sustainable use of wildlife.  Do you have questions we can answer?

Flashback Podcast to March 2025 (Episode 543): There are certain topics in this world that are likely the most controversial - wolves, feral cats, and wild horses. Wild Horses for some reason evoke such emotions that there has been little work done on exposing what is actually going on.  We are starting to delve into this topic more and more and there is not greater place to talk about this topic than Nevada. Former Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee Jenny Lesieutre is now speaking out around the management of wild horses after being involved in the space for almost two decades. As a horse owner and self-professed horse lover herself, you’ll find that it is not from a place of malice that she advocates for management, rather because they are destroying their own habitat and environment without badly needed management protocols - because leaving them alone isn’t working. This is a MUST LISTEN PODCAST.  Update August 2026: You have likely seen the social media posts and New York Times article discussing the adminstrations new "rules" around gathers, horse slaughter, etc. As an update, nothing has changed. Everything around horses is the same as it has been for the last 20 years.  Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie sits down with Dale Lewis, founder of COMACO (Community Markets for Conservation). Based in Zambia, Dale used the free market tit tackle a problem at the intersection of snaring, conservation and community upliftment. Dale’s pipeline allows community agricultural products to make their way in to market in exchange for conservation pledges, essentially buying their help in exchange for helping them get their products to market. It’s a genius maneuver that’s working well for everyone, including both the people and the wildlife on their landscape. Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie goes off the cuff about an “election promise” by the federal Labor government suggesting a ban on trophies from 20 different animals, ranging from black bears to giraffes. Australia has already banned the importation of elephant, rhino, and lion trophies, so the basic question one has to ask oneself is: Why? Let’s call it what it is—a cynical and damaging push by the anti-hunter, anti–sustainable-use sector of Australia’s political wing. Learn all about the benefits of hunting and the amazing work hunters are truly doing on the ground in these “trophy destinations” right here in this episode of Short Truths—in just eight minutes.

In today’s media there are a lot of scientific reports, peer-reviewed science articles, and government gazettes that are long, cumbersome, and frankly difficult to understand. Let’s be honest too, nobody today has time to read those long articles and reports either. So we have decided to help you understand them. We have a new podcast series called The Deep Dive - where we’re taking a really dense scientific document and boiling it down for you so that you can understand it and share it at the bar, around the dinner table, on the golf course or wherever you are. We’re starting with a paper on legal reform of elephant management principles by Dr. Sam Ferreira. Please see below for the full link for the paper.

After a 3 week long documentary expedition visiting multiple owners and understanding their plights as it relates to rhino conservation, Robbie sits down with all three of the largest private rhino owners, outside the South African government itself, the first time the three have ever been in the same room. The conversation that ensues covers rhinos, which these three love more than anything, rhino conservation, and what it truly takes from budgets to land to medical, security and beyond to be stewards of these animals. It’s the epitome of rhino conservation.  Do you have questions we can answer? Send it via DM on IG or through email at [email protected]  Support our Conservation Club Members!

After hearing Oregon State Senator Mike McLane discussing the controversial IP28 ballot measure on his podcast, The Oregon Discussion, Robbie invited him on to discuss these critical thought processes around IP28, the ramifications of this if it becomes law (not only for conservation but the economy as well), and where we go from here. IP28 has failed and did not pass the Secretary of State Ballot Process, but this is an important podcast as IP28 is not about this ballot initiative but rather the long game of the anti-use community looking to abolish hunting, fishing, and all use of animal products.

We’ve had a lot of conversations with owners of rhinos in South Africa, and believe it or not, private owners are one of the most important cogs in the wheel of rhino conservation. Today, Robbie catches up on location with Jacques Hartzenberg, owner of Kalahari Oryx, an 86,000 hectare area in the northern part of South Africa - the equivalent of about 186,000 acres. As they are driving across this massive property in Jacques own Land Cruiser, they discuss what it takes to conserve these animals, what it’s like to be the third largest black rhino owner in the country, and just living and breathing rhino conservation as a helicopter circles overhead to dart a specific rhino for blood tests.

Sean Outram returns to the The Origins Foundation podcast, sitting with Robbie in his home of Lakipia County Kenya to rehash stories of his Great Grandfather and the good old days of Africa. George (his Great Grandpa) lived quite the life - from being documented, trampled by elephants, to pictures of him with Frederick Courtney Selous, to his eventual death by a lioness - it truly was a lesson in old school Africa at its finest.

When Murray “The Mad Sculptor” Grant takes off his hat and gets excited, his mane of exuberant white hair comes out and he looks a little like Albert Einstein. Murray is essentally a mad scientist built into a sculptor. Murrray invited Robbie to his studio on the family conservancy in Lakipia County, Kenya, where he creates his world famous bronzes, to talk about wildlife conservation from the eyes of an artist obsessed with recreating the beauty he sees in the world.  Get to know the guest: https://murraygrantbronzes.com/ Do you have questions we can answer?

We are doubling down on Rhino podcasts this week, because it is absolutely hot news right now. Wicus Diedericks is back for a second time this week. After a previous episode discussing their landmark case allowing them to export Rhino Horn (a key conservation tool in his tool belt) and the episode earlier this week recorded on location at his facility and touring the incredible work he does for Rhinos - Robbie has Wicus back on to discuss the current state of play now that the government has taken the next step, with the high court of appeals dismissing permission to leave. With the government now out, Wicus explains the state of the union for this court case and where we are with it, the biggest trade conversation since crocodiles were removed from Appendix 1 to Appendix 2.

Rhino conservation in South Africa is not for everyone. It's fraught with security liabilities, risks, and poaching concerns, all in an environment that is devaluing Rhinos. Wicus Diedericks, owner of one of only 2 or 3 white rhino conservation breeding facilities in South Africa, invited Robbie to Rockwood to see the scale of the operation. Wicus has been in a legal fight with the South African government about the trade of legal Rhino Horn. If you want to listen to the first podcast in this series check out episode 605 . Today Wicus and Robbie sit down at Rockwood, on the ground at his facility. From feed to camera to security infrastructure, one thing is clear: these people care about Rhinos deeply.  Get to know the guest: https://rockwoodconservation.com Do you have questions we can answer?

Yesterday we had a HUGE news story break. We have been keeping it quite a secret for over 2 months now, that we have our first set of cubs out of our Panyame Cheetah Project. However, even though having cubs is the most amazing news story ever, we are just as excited to announce that the entire Panyame Cheetah Project has been picked up by National Geographic and an article has been written about our work. If you had asked Robbie at the beginning of this project and the short life of The Origins Foundation what a goal would have been - it would have been to be featured in National Geographic. Well we have done it, in a short 6 year span as a non-profit. Get to know the guest: https://www.backcountryafrica.com  Do you have questions we can answer?

If you’ve never heard of The Metapopulation Initiative (TMI), you are about to hear a lot more about them. The TMI started by Vincent Van De Merwe, was an initiative to expand cheetah conservation in Africa and Asia. Vincent was a mover and shaker and didn't always do things by the book - he was so driven by his passion, that he got frustrated with the bureacracy of the world when it came to cheetah conservation. Vinny was the catalyst for our Panyame Cheetah project, and his tragic death just weeks before our historic move of 16 cheetahs changed our outlook on things. In order to continue his legacy, continue what he championed at TMI we needed to figure out something. We, The Origins Foundation, needed to help. In this podcast, Robbie sits down with the directors of TMI in South Africa and discusses the history and the announcement of TMI's partnership with The Origins Foundation.  Do you have questions we can answer?

In this first of a two part series on rhino conservation (one of the most delicate, complex and nuanced areas of conservation) Robbie sits down with the fan favorite Slots Media boys (and newbie Freddie) to discuss Rhino conservation on the ground. This podcast was recorded right after a rhino hunt, and just before a lot of fieldwork around Rhino conservation. Robbie wanted to gain their perception and perspective of how they feel about the hunt, generally about Rhino Conservation, BEFORE they spent several weeks learning all about it.

Robbie is joined by South African outfitter and Helix Program member Ruan of Inkulu Adventures to discuss his 21 years in the hunting industry and the meaning behind building his own safari operation from the conservation standpoint, to the community impact, and beyond. Ruan breaks down the significant costs involved in managing rhinos (security, insurance, fencing, feed, and anti-poaching measures) and explains why regulated rhino hunting provides critical revenue that incentivizes private landowners to maintain and protect rhino populations.  Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie is joined by return guest, Chris Comer, Director of Conservation at the Safari Club International Foundation from CIC in Vienna, Austria and the two talk about the fantastic research they are doing around large carnivores (specifically, leopards) across Southern Africa, to address the lack of data associated with these elusive creatures through a diverse, scaled, camera trap survey across multiple countries.

In one of our most accent-ridden podcasts ever, Robbie interviews three wildfowlers (Dave Upton, William Wykes, and Gerald Carlile) from all over the United Kingdom about their exploits in the marsh, the community and culture around “wildfowling” in the UK and the traditions they share. If you thought you heard some hectic accents before on the podcast - just wait till you listen to this one. However the topics that are covered in this podcast are the root of hunting worldwide, but focused on wildfowling (aka duck hunting in America). The individuals and Robbie explore the tradition, heritage, and elements that make wildfowling what it is, they even explore punt-gunning, though banned in the US, is still something you can do in the UK. Importantly the entire group talks about how self-regulating the waterfowling / wildfowling community is and why they self-regulate themselves. This is a must listen to podcast!

Robbie and the team were recently in England to undertake a documentary around the heritage and story around wildfowling - the UK's version of duck hunting (but don't tell them thats what they do). The British Association Of Shooting And Conservation (BASC) does a ton of work on wildlife, conservation and, of course, shooting. Robbie catches up with two of their researchers in the wild fowling department while he stopped in to visit BASC headquarters. Sophie and Heather explain the scientific rigor and information gathered from the sport for conservation in the UK.  Get to know the guest: https://basc.org.uk/  Do you have questions we can answer?
