Episode Details

Cal Flyn’s gripping new book, “The Savage Landscape,” reveals that true untouched wilderness is a myth—humans have left their mark almost everywhere. From the Amazon to Antarctica, she journeys through remote corners of the globe, confronting danger, isolation, and the raw beauty of places we think are pristine. Drawing on years of research and personal peril—including a harrowing ice cave fall—Flyn explores how humans interact with wild spaces, even when they’re not perfect. She highlights Indigenous communities as vital stewards, like India’s sacred groves, proving reverence can be a powerful force for conservation. Ultimately, Flyn urges us to find wildness in our own backyards, reminding us that connection to nature doesn’t require far-flung adventures—it’s right outside our doors.
