Wood Fired Herping
Wood Fired Herping is a podcast about herping, life outdoors, and the food that brings it all together. Hosted by chef, photographer, and lifelong herper Zeev Nitzan Ginsburg, it blends field herping adventures with deep conversations, wild landscapes, and meals cooked with purpose.
Equal parts storytelling and campfire chatter, this show is for anyone who’s ever successfully chased a snake through the thorny underbrush, pulled off the highway for a promising stretch of habitat only to find nothing at all, or cooked something that made the whole day worth it anyway.
At its heart, Wood Fired Herping is about intersections: wild and quiet, instinct and ritual, science and soul.
