The Wolves

The Wolves

Author: Vox Media Podcast Network August 23, 2023 Duration: 41:31
We go searching for wolves in Yellowstone National Park, and learn about the dramatic and surprisingly relatable relationship between a powerful young wolf and the small, elderly wolf who had raised him. This month, we're bringing you two of our favorite episodes – two stories about the same family of wolves in Yellowstone. One is a love story. And one is a crime story. For the crime story, check out Episode 232 of Criminal. It’s called "Wolf 10." Rick McIntyre’s book is The Rise of Wolf 8: Witnessing the Triumph of Yellowstone’s Underdog.  This episode was originally released in 2020. Say hello on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

From the team behind the acclaimed Criminal comes This is Love, a podcast that explores the vast, often surprising dimensions of its title. This isn't a show about romance in the conventional sense, but an investigation into connection itself. Each episode is a carefully crafted story that uncovers the profound and sometimes unexpected ways love manifests-in devotion between species, in lifelong friendships forged by chance, in the quiet dedication to a place or an idea. The stories are intimate and human, told with the same narrative care and empathetic curiosity that defined its predecessor. As part of the Vox Media Podcast Network, this podcast releases new episodes twice a month, offering regular, thoughtful escapes into the complexities of the heart. You'll hear interviews, archival tape, and rich sound design that pulls you directly into the experience. It’s a series that challenges the simple definition of its name, revealing how love operates as a fundamental, shaping force in society, culture, and our personal journals of life. Tune in for stories that are moving, peculiar, and deeply true, each one a reminder that love is, indeed, far more than you might initially think.
