Falling Victim to a Scam
2026/07/04
It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side, but this time, we are providing more of a public service.  In this day and age, unfortunately, you don't only have to be aware in the woods, but also aware and vigilant due to really bad people.  We ALMOST fell victim to an elaborate scam and it was quite a scary situation.  We were fortunate to have escaped it, but many people aren't as lucky.  We decided to share our experience in the hopes that we can create more awareness around these situation, and if we can help just one person it is worth it.  It's a different walk in the wild side, but a wild ride on the wild side, nonetheless!

Wondering About Weeds
2026/03/25
Welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side!  This episode of our podcast is a "mostly Marvin" podcast, as Gabrielle and I have both been very busy, but haven't had an opportunity to get together for a podcast!  Since Spring is, well, springin', I was wondering just how many folks realize that there is a supermarket in their own backyards.  Many of the household, so-called "weeds" are actually some pretty darn delicious edible plants with nutritious benefits, and many are referred to as superfoods.  Rich in vitamins and minerals, these plants have been safely consumed by generations.  Join "mainly Marvin" for this podcast as he wonders about weeds, and learn a little about many of the common but maybe not well-known plants that can be consumed.   Here are some websites for more information: https://www.almanac.com/edible-weeds-garden-eating-weeds https://honest-food.net/edible-weeds/ https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/foraging-harvesting-indigenous-wild-plants-best-practices.pdf https://blog.herbsociety.org/foraging-wild-weeds-seasonal-greens/ Stinging Nettle Eating Competition Interested in having Marvin and Gabrielle speak at your event?  Email us below for more information!

Oh Deer!
2026/03/03
Hey y'all and it's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side!  This episode, we're fawning over white-tailed deer.  These animals are some of the most recognizable and common mammals in many areas.  Whether you see them hiking, out in a field, or along side a road (yikes!), deer are one of those animals that draw mixed emotions.  They are truly amazing animals, but can be a nuisance in the back yard, a danger along roads, or a source of food and sport for many.  Join us to learn a little more about smallest member of the Cervidae family in the U.S. Here's some interesting websites about white-tailed deer: https://www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/species/deer.html https://www.fs.usda.gov/database/feis/animals/mammal/odvi/all.html Deer and Driving: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2351989425004585 https://www.dnr.sc.gov/news/2022/oct/oct17-drivers.php Interested in having Marvin and Gabrielle speak at your event?  Email us below for more information!

Who Is the Grey Ghost?
2026/02/03
It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side!  For this episode, we're chatting about on of the most unique and interesting birds of prey, the northern harrier.  But why do they call it the grey ghost?  Well, join Marvin and Gabrielle on the, um, INSIDE, and not on the back porch as the snow and temperatures fall outside and a warm fire inside.  A perfect time to discuss this winter migrant to our area!

Looney for Loons!
2026/01/10
Happy New Year and welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side!  We kick off 2026 with a chat about loons, those amazing and marvelous waterfowl that have probably provided more sounds for movies than just about any other bird.  These amazing birds not only have a haunting call, but they are amazingly very well adapted to their aquatic lifestyle.  Join Marvin and Gabrielle on the back porch for a fun albeit windy podcast about these incredible waterbirds and learn about the habits, what they eat, their adaptations, and of course, their looney tunes! Here's some great websites about loons: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Loon/overview https://www.aba.org/common-loon-secrets/ https://loon.org/the-call-of-the-loon/?

Christmas without Chestnuts
2025/12/09
Welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side.  Happy Holidays from Gabrielle and I, and we are in the Holiday spirit!  This episode, we talk about one of the most recognizable songs and nut (actually more like a fruit), the chestnut.  Chestnuts and Christmas just seem to go together, but sadly, because of a blight, the once dominant and massive tree that produced delicious nuts for wildlife, people, and generations of  Christmas around the world was eliminated from the forests of eastern US in the blink of an eye (40 years).  We'll talk about how chestnuts went from a holiday staple to just a verse in a song.  What happened and can you still get chestnuts?  Join us as we sit around the fire pit on the back porch and reminisce about what used to be and the possibility that one day, the chestnut will once again, return to it's former glory. You can learn more about chestnuts from these websites: Chestnut blight:  https://tacf.org/history-american-chestnut/ Chestnut research:  https://www.esf.edu/chestnut/index.php https://www.finedininglovers.com/explore/articles/chestnuts-z-26-things-about-chestnuts How chestnuts are used in Italian cooking:  https://www.lacucinaitaliana.com/italian-food/how-to-cook/roasting-chestnuts-a-guide-to-the-cherished-italian-holiday-tradition The Italian Chestnut Growers Consortium:  https://www.consorziocastanicoltori.it/ (in italian, so please get google to translate) Interested in having Marvin and Gabrielle speak at your event?  Email us below for more information!

Beautiful Things Called Waxwings
2025/11/18
It's that time again and for this episode, we are chatting about one of the most deceptively beautiful birds that come to our area in the Fall, the cedar waxwing.  These social birds are mostly seen invading fruit trees and flying from tree to tree in large flocks.  Upon a closer look, these brown blobs suddenly reveal an amazingly beautiful bird.  With beautiful coloration, a crest on its head, and a bold black mask, these birds reveal a ravenous appetite for fruit!  Join us and learn more about this bold, beautiful, and quite interesting fall migrant.

When Plants Attack!
2025/11/04
After a little hiatus and celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, we're back!  We had a great time celebrating with friends and family, but are happy to be back in the podcast studio!  This episode is about some strange plants that you may have seen, but maybe didn't know what they were.  We're talking about parasitic plants, but these plants aren't your run of the mill parasites, they are funky, spooky, and fascinating!  Join Gabrielle and I on the back porch as we talk about these "sapsuckers" and "nutrient vampires" right after Halloween!

The Local Legends of South Carolina - Pt. 3 - The Legend of the Gray Man
2025/08/15
Hey everyone and welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side!  We finish up our three part series on the local legends of South Carolina with one of Gabrielle's favorite legends of the Lowcountry, the Gray Man.  This legend is a prognosticator of hurricanes and landfall, often protecting the person and property he reveals himself to.  The legend started in the 1800's in Pawley's Island, SC and has persisted to this day.  There are different versions, but all have a similar outcome.  A person sees a gray man in an overcoat and hat, he warns them to flee the impending storm, and their homes are spared, even when everything around them is devastated.  Join Gabrielle and I in Pawley's Island, close to where the legend was born, and then join us for dinner as we talk to a local young man, Chandler, who happened to be our waiter at the amazing Rustic Table restaurant.  We hope you enjoy this episode and here's a few websites to learn more about this legend of the Lowcountry: https://wkml.com/2024/08/21/the-mysterious-legend-of-the-gray-man-ghost-in-south-carolina/ https://pawleysvacationrentals.com/the-grey-man/ https://southcarolinaparks.com/huntington-beach https://hammockshops.com/ Awesome restaurant featuring our waiter, Chandler! https://www.rustictable.com/ Interested in having Marvin and Gabrielle speak at your event?  Email us below for more information!

Local Legends of South Carolina - Pt. 2 - The Hound of Goshen Hill
2025/08/01
It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side and we are road trippin' for  part 2 of our "Local Legends of South Carolina" series!  This time, we're up in Union County, where a local legend is well known by folks in the area, but maybe not known outside of this area of South Carolina.  Goshen Hill Plantation was the site of a settlement where a man was wrongfully hanged for a murder he didn't commit, and both he and his faithful dog were executed in a wrongful rush to judgment.  Scary stories of a white dog with a hideous grin that haunts this area of Union county have been told for years and a simple drive along Old Buncombe Road can really get your imagination going!  Join Gabrielle and I along this stretch and a few more places as we search for the Hound of Goshen Hill, secretly praying that we DON'T see him! Check out the web pages below for more information and check out our Facebook pages  for videos, pictures, and more!
