You might think that you are not a forager. But what if no matter our lifestyle or job title, we are forever hunter gatherers in this world: of food, of love, of meaning. In this immersive episode, join Alex on a walk through an ancient forest as you explore what it means to live life as a forager. It's a journey through the Garden of Eden grocery store, a wrestling with the gods, and a coming home to feast and famine.   CITATIONS <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Changes in the Landscape by William Cronon </li> </ul>   If you'd like to support Human Nature Odyssey, please subscribe wherever you enjoy your podcasts and leave us a review.

Human Nature Odyssey explores the myths, systems, and stories shaping our unraveling world.

Blending history, mythology, philosophy, ecology, and cinematic audio storytelling, the show uses the past to better understand the present — and the possible futures we're creating.

You are living the latest chapter in a 10,000-year human story. Join documentary filmmaker and storyteller Alex Leff on a cinematic audio journey through civilization, collapse, meaning, and myth, in search of clearer ways to experience the incredible, terrifying, and ridiculous world we inhabit.

A narrative audio documentary for anyone asking how we got here — and what comes next.
