Through the podcast, you can discover new ways to enjoy the outdoors and learn about the 800 species looked after by Arizona Game and Fish, according to their website. From wildlife watching, hunting and fishing to off-road riding and boat safety, the podcast discusses outdoor recreation opportunities in Arizona for you and everyone in your family.

Recent topics have included Watchable Wildlife, Desert Tortoise Adoption, the Ben Avery Shooting Range, and podcasts about bats and rattlesnakes. In December, biologist Chrissy Kondrat discussed the Christmas Bird Count. This winter bird population survey has been coordinated annually by the National Audubon Society for over a century. The data assists with monitoring winter bird populations across North America and helps to assess the overall health of the environment.

Check out the podcast covering the Ben Avery Shooting Range if you enjoy shooting. Founded in 1957, Ben Avery is one of the largest publicly operated shooting ranges in the country and averages more than 120,000 shooters per year. The range sits on 1,650 acres in north Phoenix, directly behind the Arizona Game and Fish Department headquarters.
