Click here for the original audio and to read a book excerpt.

We revisit Peter O’Dowd’s February 2025 conversation with author and Yellowstone fishing guide Callan Wink.

Wink’s novel “Beartooth” centers around two brothers eking out a living near Yellowstone who take an illegal but potentially lucrative expedition into the park with unexpected consequences. The book comes out in paperback on April 7.
