Hello Readers (and viewers),
Well, while it takes a devoted viewer to watch a two-hour interview, many more are happy to hear just the nuggets.
So, while my latest interview with a Minnesota deer farmer (and now activist) Steve Porter still tries to hit its first 1,000 views, a few one-minute highlights from this conversation have now racked-up almost 1M views across social media.
Here they are on YouTube:
Minnesota is banning deer farms. This farmer is defiant.
Farmer Steve Porter is raising the alarm over MN's high wolf numbers.
Is Minnesota's goal for zero CWD cases causing more harm than good?
But if you’d like to follow the action on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, you can also see the videos on these platforms, where you can also enjoy the wisdom—or at least the opinions—of the crowd:)
I’d love if more people watched the longform content to get a better grasp of these issues, but I’m pleased these shortform videos can sneak into the nooks of people’s scrolling habits, catching their attention and making them aware of these societal topics.

p.s. I found a cheap flight for a last-minute, four-night stay last week down on Roatan Island, Honduras. Those who’ve known me a little while know this wasn’t my first visit there. In fact, it was the 4th I’ve made to this Caribbean destination, where a dual purpose of charity work and a study of novel government continue to call my return. More on this soon!
