Show 22: A Wolf Called Romeo: The Alaskan Wolf Who Loved Dogs Today’s Guest Nick Jans My guest today is a man known to be the most prolific author and photographer of Alaskan wildlife, landscapes and culture, Nick Jans.

I’ve always loved the wolves, and what they’ve taught me about our dogs. Chatting with a studier of wolves in the wild, someone who has been up close with them, is a goal I’ve had for a long time — a bucket-list ticker!
