Our One Wild and Precious Lives (and Our Dogs)

A podcast about living off the beaten track, dogs, and the overlap between the two. I want my listener(s) to get a glimpse at the world – maybe a different world from their own – through storytelling. Here’s to philosophy, conversations, change, training dogs, and treating humans with kindness. Queer stuff, life stuff, politics, and learning theory … We’ll see where this journey takes us!

The canine nerd level scale for dog geeky episodes (Malinois head in the episode picture):

Level 1: of interest for pet or companion dog owners

Level 2: for the engaged dog enthusiast who already knows things, and wants to learn even more

Level 3: for highly educated dog and animal training folks who love digging into the nerdy details of theory and philosophy

Queer episodes have a rainbow umbrella and mental health episode have a catnip plant in the episode picture.

Everything else on and off the beaten track just has a picture that seems fitting – either taken by Chrissi or a Pixabay image.
