Michael and Steve sit down with Mike Lagodny, professional wildlife guide and long-time friend of Steve! We chat about what it's like living practically on Yellowstone National Park, Mike's favorite foragables, his business "Montana Yellowstone Tours", as well as some good reading recommendations! Listen wherever you get your pods and if you're ever in Montana, get a tour with Mike- he's incredibly compassionate, super smart, and really knows his way around the ropes!!

The winter "preservation" series continues with dehydration. Michael and Steve talk about how they've dehydrated wild food in the past and all the pros and cons that come with it, as well as some more unconventional dehydrating ideas we've talked about in previous episodes. Thanks for listening to our show, this is officially the last episode of 2022 on the last day of 2022 so isn't that fun?

This episode we go over the basics of fermentation, its benefits, and the variety of ways you can implement wild foods in your ferment! Enjoy the holidays!!!

We had the absolute pleasure of having a long chat with Lisa M. Rose, author of the new book Urban Foraging. We chat about the book, her personal inspiration for foraging, and so so much more. We sincerely hope to talk with her again and hope you all enjoy this special extended episode this holiday season. Our merch store can be found at wildedibleworldpod.shopify.com or in the link in our bio where we've also included a link to Lisa's new book. Thanks, always, to Brett Westcott for supplying us with flawless, chewy tunes to rock all of your worlds with.

It's Wednesday, my dudes. Michael and Steve chat about hickory trees in this episode, mostly regarding the edible nut and how the hickory tree is a deeply underutilized food crop. Thanks for listening y'all!

We're back with our regularly scheduled Wednesday episode to talk about acorns! Many of you may already be familiar with the acorn as a food as we go a little bit into how to process it, how we've enjoyed it, and its nutritional qualities but there may still be a few resources you might not have known! Not included in the show, but was intended to be, was some resources on where to find acorn processing detailed step-by-step. The classic gold standard for years has been found in a chapter on acorns in Sam Thayer's book "Nature's Garden". An extra tip from Ellen Zachos @thebackyardforager is to use cold leeching whenever possible because hot leeching will cook the starches in acorns, and we need what starches it has to stay intact until cooking with the final product. Thanks to Brett Westcott for our music and to Laura Feller for our logo and always to you, the listener for supporting us!

We come back for our first second part (😅) to go a little deeper on apples, history of apples in North America, as well as a fun extra second half where we plug a new book that was sent to us by Lisa M. Rose. Thanks as always to Brett Westcott for our excellent music and to Laura Feller for our logo! It helps the show a lot if you spread the word with your friends and family and even more if you rate and review the podcast positively whenever possible.

Episode 25 is here! It's about crabapples- an amazing fruit with more variety in flavor, size and appearance than just about any other wild fruit. Listen now to hear the fellas enjoy cider at a local cidery and discuss the variety of flavors and opportunities apples offer.

In this week's episode, Michael and Steve focus mostly on the invasive multiflora rose, but most of the information could be applied to all true roses. There's tons of rosehips out and they're starting to get ripe right now so have a nibble, put 'em in tea, or make some syrup! As always, thanks for listening. Be sure to rate and review the show wherever you can to help others discover our show! Tell a friend or family member about it! We also have pins and stickers available - DM us!

We're back this week with a forager's prized spice!! Michael (@edible_illinois ) & Steve (@snoopdoggydoggwood) talk spicebush, a crazy tasting drupe while enjoying the ambiance of a local brewery. But that's not all... the second half is dominated by a tasting and unboxing of some soon-to-come pod merch! Thanks, always, for listening but also to Layra Feller for our amazing logo, Brett Westcott for our awesome tunes!
