    Kay, the Bear Lady: North Carolina's Answer to Timothy Treadwell
    Apr 6 2026
    Now there are two of them (this is a reference to a Star Wars meme, which I am using to communicate the idea that Wes introduces us to a woman whom he likens to Timothy Treadwell, in that she grew a little too comfortable around bears for her own good)!?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast. Wes, Jeff, and Mike are hilarious and I feel like I'm hanging out with my brothers when I'm listening.

They have really interesting information, and they use stories that, while sometimes have tragic ends, as teachable moments.

Absolutely Brilliant

I am an aspiring wildlife biologist who's just finished my college degree and working for my states conservation department. This podcast is incredible! I love the true crime aspect of the animal attacks combined with the incredible biology of each animal that manages to shed good light on every animal involved in the encounters. The storytelling is great and all the guys are so funny. Fantastically paced podcast that caters to basically my main interest which is human wildlife conflict :)

Favorite podcast!

I normally listen to crime podcasts... but one day I decided to give this show a shot. By far the best decision ever. I LOVE how all 3 guys have different takes and views yet blend so well. We have Wes, the smart biologist, Jeff, the hilarious smart-ass with horrible ideas (who also causes me to laugh way too much) and Mike, the one who is experiencing this all through them 😂 Let's just say Wes would be crawling in the den, Jeff would be outside giving bad advice while Mike is at home editing this whole scene 😂

Literally the BEST
