You could consider him somewhat of an ‘anti-hunter’. Hailing from a wildlife and zoology background, Ryan Dalton is a UK comedian who has never hunted before. During the COVID Pandemic, Ryan started the Into The Wild podcast, which explores topics around nature and wildlife conservation.

In this podcast he recounts with Robbie his trip to Namibia to speak with people on the ground about their experiences, their thoughts, and what hunting is doing for them.

You could say Ben Masters is ‘in the news’ right now. He’s a member of the Texas For Mountain Lions Coalition that recently submitted a petition to Texas Parks and Wildlife around mountain lions in Texas.

In this ‘can’t miss’ conversation, Robbie asks him about anecdotal evidence, his thoughts about moving forward, and if he’s really as anti-hunting and anti-trapping as the rhetoric says he is.
