The Coyote Episode

Documentary filmmaker Julie Marron joins me on the podcast this week to discuss coyotes and her upcoming documentary film American Bolshevik, detailing the century-long attempt to eradicate this intelligent and often misunderstood predator and how communities of people are learning to coexist with these animals while learning to appreciate the role they play in supporting a diverse and balanced ecosystem. She explains why coyotes seem to be popping up in new territories and urban areas and why coyotes have been so resilient while many other North American predator species have not been able to survive human encroachment.
