The DNR Wildlife Division's “Wildtalk” podcast is hitting January in full stride. Show hosts talk to Olivia Triltsch, Michigan United Conservation Clubs’ Habitat Program and Partnerships coordinator, about MUCC’s On the Ground program, get into a high-flying discussion about snow geese, and wrap with a chat about coyotes and why you’re likely to see and hear more of them this month.

Now in its eighth year, “Wildtalk” remains focused on providing core components – insights, interviews and questions answered on the air – but show producers also say they’re looking at 2025 as a season of “scheming, plotting and looking ahead” to try out some new things!

Listener feedback is going to play a big part in the show’s progression. In fact, listeners are invited to take a survey that’s open right now. A bonus: Completing the survey gives you an extra chance to win one of the show’s popular camp mugs.
