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.

In a time of political division in our country, one Santa Fe man has made it his mission to bridge the divide through humanitarian work and sharing stories. His firsthand accounts with migrants, residents and federal agents, who all claim allegiance along the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, give a glimpse into the conditions in that region and how politics over policy is impacting everyday lives.  

Morgan Smith, a retired lawyer and governmental official, says he's been involved with Mexico since being a college student but has taken that task to heart in recent years with his visual and written reporting. He joins “Conversations Different” host Inez Russell Gomez in the latest podcast episode to share insight into his numerous trips to the border and what they have taught him about people and immigration.  

Smith also reflects on the volunteer aspect of his trips which involve him loading up his vehicle with items and donating them to local shelters or individuals in need in the El Paso/Ciudad Juárez area.  

Connect with Morgan to hear more of his stories or to donate for his next trip. He can be reached at morgan-smith@comcast.net
