“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity.” —John Muir, 1901

THE WILD is hosted by Chris Morgan, a wildlife researcher and award-winning filmmaker. Chris uncovers the surprising connections we share with animals and the wild around us.

Taking listeners around the world to Italy, Germany and Chris’ own backyard in the Pacific Northwest, THE WILD explores the resilient power of nature and our relationship to it.

Chris has hosted Emmy-nominated environmental documentaries including PBS Nature and (most recently) "BEARTREK.” He is best known for his work on bears, which has taken him from the Pakistani Himalayas to Borneo to the North Cascades just an hour from his home.
