The hit podcast from KUOW and Chris Morgan Wildlife is back for a new season!

THE WILD with Chris Morgan is a celebration of the natural world and the people devoted to wild places and incredible species. Each episode explores our world’s complex web of ecosystems, taking listeners on an immersive, sound-rich journey across the Pacific Northwest and around the world.

The seventh season will bring listeners up close to some of our world’s most resilient creatures and explore the inspiring ways these species adapt and thrive in their fast-changing environments.

The news right now feels bleak and overwhelming, especially as it applies to the natural world. I’m thrilled to bring our listeners stories they can believe in that will give us hope for the future of this incredible planet we call home. The world I operate in is healthy, hopeful, and healing, and it’s the world that I’m inviting listeners to experience with me — the natural world. Chris Morgan, Ecologist and Host of 'THE WILD'

This season THE WILD takes listeners on a sonic adventure, exploring how wild animals and entire ecosystems adapt to forces like wildfire, deforestation, and overhunting. From America’s biggest cat, the jaguar, navigating the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico to the comeback of the humpback whales to the shores of British Columbia to hummingbirds surviving in the brutal Arizona desert. Chris and team will unravel these inspiring mysteries of the natural world and find hope in the most unexpected places.

THE WILD with Chris Morgan will publish new episodes every Tuesday. Find all episodes, as well as other KUOW podcasts, in the KUOW app and other podcasting apps.
