This week, we journey from the dirt beneath our feet to the predators on the prowl, asking tough questions and uncovering wild truths:

🦶 Grounding/Earthing – Can simply standing barefoot on soil reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and ease anxiety? Or is this just wellness-world folklore? We dig into the science (and the skepticism) behind the earthing trend.

🪰 The New World Screwworm Fly – This tiny parasite is no small threat. Known for burrowing into warm-blooded animals, it once devastated livestock populations in the U.S. It’s back in the headlines—so what’s the real risk today for animals and even humans?

🐕 Buford the Brave – Meet the Great Pyrenees from Arizona who leapt into action to save a boy and return him to safety. This isn’t just a heartwarming story—it’s a powerful reminder of the protective bond between animals and humans.

🐺 The Grey Wolf Debate – As wolf populations rebound, so do tensions. Ranchers report livestock losses. Conservationists call for protection. Where do we draw the line between preserving a species and protecting livelihoods?

Plus, we add in some "getting to know us" questions where we're not shy about our answers.

It’s a wild ride of facts, folklore, and fierce debates—tune in and root yourself in the wild truth.
