    Episode 603 - Tony Schoonen || The Dark Numbers Of Poaching In The US
    Oct 30 2025
    When one thinks of poaching, the mind often turns to Africa—snares, and people involved in the illegal bushmeat trade. Few would think of poaching occurring in the United States of America. Boone and Crockett Club President Tony Schoonen and researcher Jon Gassett join Robbie to talk about the Club’s new Poach and Pay program. This enormous undertaking to understand poaching in the U.S. revealed a massive “dark number” of poachers—and what that means for the landscapes and lifestyles we love. It’s an incredibly fascinating episode where you’ll learn the data and science behind the true impact of poaching in the U.S. today, what motivates it, and what steps can be taken to combat its staggering scale. This is the kind of podcast you’ll definitely be talking about with your colleagues around the water cooler—or the coffee pot—in the morning.

  • Episode 602 - Leon & Sanjay || Eat Wild In The UK

    Episode 602 - Leon & Sanjay || Eat Wild In The UK
    Oct 28 2025
    The beauty of The Origins Foundation podcast is that you have no idea who we are going to speak with or what topic we’ll be exploring. If you look around the world at the hunting community and how we try to communicate that lifestyle to those who don’t hunt, a simple message that resonates is one around food. From the Australian outback to the woods of Mississippi to the inner city of London in the United Kingdom, food is a powerful messaging tool. Robbie is joined by UK chefs and members of the Eat Wild UK scene, Leon Challis-Davies and Sanjay Bhattacharya, to talk about the burgeoning wild game scene in the UK and some amazing recipes and resources that Eat Wild UK is providing for people to enjoy. This isn’t your typical dove popper cuisine, but rather high-end dishes that will make your taste buds salivate just hearing about them.

  • Episode 600 - Solutions For Madikwe?

    Episode 600 - Solutions For Madikwe?
    Oct 16 2025
    You have seen lots of recent discussions, talking heads, and articles about Madikwe, a nature reserve in the North West Province of South Africa, and its elephant dilemma. The Origins Foundation is firmly positioned to talk and deliver an understanding of the system from a practical conservation perspective. Robbie was forwarded a podcast radio spot in which a non-hunting economics professor was asked to bring his ecological perspectives to bear on the Madikwe situation. The interview was very biased and unfortunately didn’t have a voice from the sustainable use lobby, so we decided to bring our own voice to the table. Robbie reacts in this special episode to the radio/podcast interview titled “An Atrocity Planned in Madikwe.” Robbie plays the podcast for you and gives you an unscripted response to what he is hearing and gives his opinion on this Madikwe controversy.

    Episode 599 - Corina Jordan || Protecting Game In New Zealand
    Oct 14 2025
    Robbie connects with Corina Jordan, the new CEO of the Game Animal Council of New Zealand—a statutory authority that provides advice to the Minister of Hunting and Fishing in New Zealand (currently the Honorable James Meager, who was a recent guest on the show as well)—to talk about herds of special interest and other exciting developments in New Zealand hunting. New Zealand is an incredible hunting landscape, facing many of the same issues as other hunting communities, but also holding unique opportunities to truly cement a hunting legacy—from the Sika to the Wapiti herd—and to establish the critical management plans needed for the future.

  • Short Truths 24 || What Can You Hunt In South Africa?

    Short Truths 24 || What Can You Hunt In South Africa?
    Oct 9 2025
    Your favorite short truths series are back. The short truths are a short pieces of information that you can listen to, digest, and talk about. Today’s Short Truths question is, “What animals have quotas in South Africa?” And the answer is not what you’ve been told. Most animals belong to the owner of the land based on law and certificates of adequate enclosure. However, other animals have different rules. The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE, as it is called colloquially) hasn’t actually issued a quota for black rhino, elephant or leopard in South Africa since 2021. What happened in 2021? DFFE was taken to court by Humane Society International - and two full years later, the case was thrown out by a judge. Find out from Robbie all about the quota process and the goings-on there in this Short Truths episode. Do you have questions we can answer?
