Episode Synopsis

What is wilderness, what is wildness, and is there a difference between the two? Who gets to decide? Do people belong there? How do Indigenous perspectives aid our appreciation of wilderness?
As tourism both celebrates and simultaneously overwhelms or outright ruins some of the most beloved and endangered places on Earth, these questions are more pressing than ever. Who better to discuss them at The Long Table than Phillip and April Vannini, wanderers, ethnographers, and authors of an important new book, In the Name of Wild: One Family, Five Years, Ten Countries, and a New Vision of Wildness (UBC Press). 
The Vanninis are joined in conversation by seasoned wilderness campaigner Valerie Langer, host Ian Gill, and knowledgeable invited guests for this, the second Long Table podcast brought to you from the Upstart & Crow Literary Arts Studio on Granville Island in Vancouver, Canada.
