On the latest podcast episode of “Conversations Different,” host Inez Russell Gomez talks with author, historian and podcaster Dan Flores about the new edition of his New York Times best-selling book Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History.  

The book, according to its summary, highlights the biological backstory of the coyote and explores how its existence throughout time has been to survive among other animals, cultures and even human efforts to eradicate it. Flores said the rerelease includes more information about coyote migration and how they are rapidly expanding into South America.  

Throughout the episode, Inez and Dan also discuss his telling of Western U.S. history on his own podcast called The American West, hosted on the MeatEater Podcast Network. The podcast focuses on wildlife, landscapes and influential historical figures of the West. It’s an overall thought-provoking listening experience worth checking out.  

Flores closes off this podcast with a reflection of what brought him to New Mexico as well as what it’s like to write and discuss new works for publication in today’s political climate.
