Wendall in the Wild
by Gannett
Wendall in the Wild is a podcast about all the little wild things that live around, and sometimes with, us. How we affect them, how they affect us. Your hosts, Wendall Waters and Chris Stevens will take you on some adventures with bugs, frogs, birds, raccoons, invasive weeds, hermit crabs, wildflowers, and more. They will bring local experts into the studio to look at tips for how to recognize and enjoy, or in some cases deal with, the critters and plants that share our spaces. And, because Wicked Local is focused on community, they’ll be on the road hearing your stories.
