#44 - Wild Roof Podcast: Simmons Buntin and Kathryn Wilder
In the December episode, authors Simmons Buntin and Kathryn Wilder join host Aaron Lelito to talk about creative nonfiction as a genre, how place and the natural world inform their writing, and their approach to shaping individual essays into a book-length collection. We chat about craft, cows, cultivating awe in our daily lives . . . and beer. Listen up for a wonderful conversation with Simmons and Kat. * Simmons Buntin, the author of Satellite: Essays on Fatherhood and Home, Near and Far, is a tall drink of water who seeks a certain beauty in all of his pursuits, whether writing, editing the award-winning online journal Terrain.org, lecturing, making photographs, managing projects and teams, or even walking the dogs. That seeking — that seeing — is a professional and creative pursuit well beyond the surface of things, something akin to truth. And quite often: humor. * Kathryn Wilder is a writer and rancher in Dolores and Disappointment Valley, Colorado. She is the author or editor of five books. The latest, The Last Cows: On Ranching, Wonder, and a Woman’s Heart, is available now from Bison Books. In this engaging and thoughtful narrative that blends biology, geology, natural history, and human history into her personal story, Wilder offers an intimate view into the inner workings of a rancher’s heart.

#43 - Wild Roof Podcast: Michael Engelhard, Author of No Place Like Nome
In the November episode, author Michael Engelhard joins host Aaron Lelito to talk about his essay collection No Place Like Nome: The Bering Strait Seen Through Its Most Storied City. In this chat, we learn what brought Michael to Alaska, why Nome is a special place (even by Alaskan standards), and how we can learn from a grizzly bear mother protecting her cubs. Michael was trained as an anthropologist with a degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and he worked for twenty-five years as a wilderness guide and outdoor instructor in Alaska and on the Colorado Plateau. In No Place Like Nome, Michael Engelhard surveys the seam that links two neighboring continents through the lens of one pivotal city. The region's legacy of millennia shines on pages enriched by this writer's recollections-from mammoths to Cold War monuments, from a spa turned orphanage to cyclist miners and shaman hoards. Meet the explorers and adventurers, reindeer herders and hustlers, the dancers, drummers, dreamers, warriors, walrus-tusk carvers, and whalers, clergy, foragers, and photographers who shaped a place of conflicting visions as thoroughly as it shaped them. See more about Michael's book here.
