Trailer - Raising Wild

Welcome to Raising Wild! This is a podcast about raising kids—and ourselves—a little more feral. On purpose. In this short trailer, host Ashley Arnold introduces Raising Wild, a new podcast from Wild Idea Media about childhood, nature, freedom, risk and the wild parts of ourselves we don’t want to lose. Through conversations with writers, scientists, educators, adventurers, leaders, athletes and parents, Raising Wild explores how we give kids a wilder, more connected childhood in the world we actually live in—and how we reclaim it for ourselves—so we can take risks, think independently, and love, value and protect the wild places that shape us. The first full episode launches on July 8th with Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods and the forthcoming NOTICING: Intimate Encounters with the Natural World. In that conversation, Ashley and Richard talk about childhood, technology, awe, attention, nature connection and why learning to notice the living world around us may be one of the most important things we can practice.
