2026/02/03

This remotely recorded episode features the creator of the Falconry Journal app, Tim Williams. Tim comes on to discuss his motivations for taking on the endeavor of creating the app, the different upgrades he's making to the app through offering the pro version, and how falconry is for him in northern California. This should be a good listen for current users of the Falconry Journal app, and for those of you who haven't used it, you should at least give it a trial. It's a great tool to have!Support

I hope you all enjoyed episode 200! We're continuing on with 201, and just a heads up, from here on out, I'll publish what I can, when I can publish it. Unfortunately, there might be more remote recordings in the future, but I'll do my best to continue to do in person when I can. This episode and a few others were supposed to be recorded in person at the Arizona meet in Camp Verde, but because of some unfortunate circumstances, I had to cancel plans last minute. Fortunately, one of my planned

2026/01/20

Well, here we are folks.... Another couple of big milestones for the podcast! This 200th episode also marks two years of being on my own under Falconry Chronicles, and I held this recording back to mark such an occasion! The guest for this episode, Dr. Ken Riddle, has been requested many times over the years, and thanks to the help of Rob Rainey, Robert Bagley, and other mutual friends, this recording was finally able to take place last summer. I'm so glad that it did, because Ken has roughly 75

Episode 199: Doug Bensinger

2026/01/13

This episode was recorded seemingly forever ago, almost three years to be exact. Now that I've made my way completely through my backlog and had a chance to listen back to this episode that I've held in reserve for so long, it felt like an appropriate time to put it out. I recently published another episode featuring a longtime Indiana falconer, so I figured this would be a good time to publish another! Doug agreed to do this recording while I was still working a travel position in Terre Haute, and

Falconers and their opinions... You all have heard that sentiment mentioned many times now on the podcast, and for those of you who have been active falconers longer than five seconds, you know this sentiment all too well! There are some opinions that are more rooted in fact and that are widely agreed upon, but others are up for much more debate. There are always going to be disagreements within the falconry community, as there are in any life endeavor. I have no doubt there will be many who both

We're not only back in the US for this episode, but also my home state of Indiana! This episode was recorded at the end of last season at the last Indiana Falconers Assocation meet of the year in Terre Haute. It was requested by other IFA members that I get a conversation recorded with Mike Jones to get his memories of the early formation of the IFA and NAFA, his early days of falconry in the state, and some other good memories.Support at buymeacoffee.com/falconrychroniclesSpecial thanks to the

Episode 193: Cameron Coley

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/11/11

In the coming weeks, we're going to be jumping around some other countries, since logistics and time have been preventing more face-to-face conversations lately. I've been getting back in touch with some of my international falconry friends, and was introduced to Cameron Coley remotely. He talks about falconry in the province where he's from in South Africa, some of the species he's gotten to fly, including his red-breasted sparrowhawk he flew for multiple seasons, getting to see some falconry in

Episode 192: Brooke Reed

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/11/04

This episode is the last episode from Oklahoma, for a little while at least. In this episode Brooke Reed joins us to talk about her short tenure in falconry thus far. Even though she's only been at it for a few years, she's been pursuing her falconry career rather tenaciously, and also already giving back in terms of helping with her state club and other things. She also talks about doing a slightly longer apprenticeship due to various circumstances, juggling falconry with an unconventional career,

Episode 189: Rob Summers

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/10/14

Due to some family circumstances, I was unfortunately not able to record with Rob while I was in Oklahoma, but I did manage to catch up with him after the fact and get his recording done later remotely. I was happy to do so, since it has been six years since he recorded his episode with my old partner Israel with Falconry Told, and he's another falconer I wanted the chance to do a follow up episode with. We talked about where he's at with falconry now, some of his experiences building drones and

We carry on in Oklahoma with Samantha Grayson, who was gracious enough to still make it out to do this recording despite limited sleep and a lot of moving challenges! Samantha talks in this episode about the different species she's flown, including one species in particular that not a lot of people have experience with, as well as her times spent in Mongolia and getting to fly a golden eagle while there, and her work/life balance, amongst other things.

I was really excited to get a chance to do this episode with Tim! Being an original art fan and fellow nerd and musician, as well as an Indiana native, I knew this would be a really fun conversation to have. It certainly didn't disappoint!

Episode 185: Phil and Gayla Salvati

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/09/16

This is one of a couple of fun husband and wife falconry episodes recorded in Oklahoma. These are always fun to do, since each has had their own dynamics and perspectives to bring to the table, and it was a lot of fun hearing Phil and Gayla's! Multiple toasts were had during this episode with the wine that they brought, and we discussed some pretty crazy things they've had to deal with in falconry, and their relationship in general. Hopefully you'll get something out of hearing about their falconry

2025/09/02

This episode kicks off several episodes that were recorded while in Oklahoma for a weekend back in July. Our guest for this episode, Rob Rainey, helped get everyone lined up for these recordings, and was also kind enough to host me for the weekend while I was there. It would've been very difficult to make this happen without his help, so big thanks to him for his help! In this recording, we talked about his experiences helping out with different organizations, including NAFA and the Oklahoma
