Are you looking at our society racked with disconnection, poor mental and physical health, social injustice, and the wanton destruction of the natural world and asking yourself, “What can I do?” Join anthrodidact Peter Michael Bauer as he converses with experts from many converging fields that help us craft cultures of resilience. Weaving together a range of topics from ecology to wilderness survival skills to permaculture, each episode deepens and expands your understanding of how to rewild yourself and your community.

  • "If you're interested in anthropology, human history, or how to navigate our future in a world on the precipice of catastrophe, Peter's podcast is a must listen. His guests and interviews are absolutely fascinating—not just interesting in a "this is smart and good for me so I should listen to it" sort of way, but in a truly riveting, "I can't turn this off" kind of way. Honestly, I can't listen to most podcasts because I'm a journalist and find most interviewers infuriating because they're so ego-centric they don't actually listen to their guests and ask the right questions; Peter, on the other hand, has evolved into a master interviewer over the years of this show. He always puts his guests first and knows how to adeptly steer the conversation to let his guests shine and make every episode truly delightful for the listener. Thank you, Peter! You make my unfathomable hours in the car in Los Angeles (as I figure out my own rewilding path) actually bearable."

  • "i started with episode 6 with dr leonard martin and since then, i've listened to a few episodes. each listening my mind is opened a bit further. ideas about collapse, the sixth extinction, rewilding are presented with care and depth. personally i had never heard of some of these ideas before, but the deep resonance in my body tells me that these are just names to experiences that we have already been living through. in a sense, it's comforting to talk about the crisis we're living through with openness. it reminds me that to be scared or to grieve is understandable and healthy. and for giving some contextual understanding to what we're living through, i am so grateful."

  • "This podcast is excellent and well-timed. Civilization, the type of society that builds massive cities and ravaged ecosystems with its fast-burn, suicidal track to oblivion, needs to be looked at critically, and that's one of the things that Bauer does a great job of in this podcast. This is the kind of content we need right now. Bauer is clear without being long-winded, concise without being blunt, informative without overloading the listener and passionate without coming off as radical or angry. I'm chomping at the bit for more episodes. Bring 'em on!"
