Ep. 76: Smooth Brains & Nature Break

Wild and Free: A Battle Born podcast is a platform for non-profit professionals, social justice activists, and community-driven artists trying to make a difference in the Southern Nevada community. We talk about the issues that matter and will motivate our fellow community members to get involved.

Like many, our team has been dealing with family changes, work transitions, and general pandemic fatigue. We are back from our needed break to bring you the information you need to get involved and enjoy our community. 

In this episode, we revisit our talk about one of our favorite things about Nevada...NATURE! We've added in some sounds from the last pre-pandemic camping trip Alison, B & Jacob went on. We also break down some of the obstacles and barriers for community members that would like to enjoy our natural surroundings, but may not be sure how to start. Getting outside is easy, but it can be intimidating. We provide tips, resources, and our personal stories that will leave you asking the same question that our Co-Wrangler Alison does, “Is this Nature?”.

Ep. 74: Invest in Nevada

In the latest episode, we are joined by Jared Busker, Principal at Busker Consulting and co-lead for the Nevada Revenue Coalition.  Jared talks about the need for our state to raise revenue to help fund current programs, as well as expand needed services during the post-shutdown world. One of the biggest hurdles for this current session of the Nevada State Legislature is revenue. There will be many opportunities for regular Nevadans to get involved in the conversation.

Ep. 71: Happy Holidays...mmm...delicious

We are still in the thick of the pandemic, the government has abandoned us, and the holiday season is here. While there is a lot to be mad about, we wanted to highlight local businesses who could use your support during the holiday season (if you are able). This list was co-created with our listeners. Most of the individuals and businesses also have an online store, so you can stay safe while shopping local. 

We know this is a tough time. Please make sure to take care of yourself. If celebrating the holidays isn’t going to work for you this year. That is OKAY!

The 2020 Election is over (well, mostly). We revel in some of the victories, and wallow in some of the defeats. It is a bunch of feelings all wrapped up into a conveniently delivered podcast.
