In this episode, Author Nancy Flinchbaugh interviews Christopher M. Batin, a fellow author, award-winning photojournalist and an Alaskan "legend" who spent his career as a hunting and fishing guide, teaching, writing and leading people into the last frontier. Chris talks about the early influences in his life that led him to connect with nature, particularly his father and Uncle Bob, as well as the Book The Secret Life of Plants and writings by Thomas Merton. #writingforchange, #alaska, #ChrisBatin, #naturalist, #Merton, #nature
