EP 76. Josh "Bones" Murphy — Storytelling to Save the Planet

In this special episode of The Sustainable Angler, I sit down with filmmaker, fisheries biologist, and master storyteller Josh “Bones” Murphy. You might recognize his powerful work in Artifishal, Purple Mountains, and The Scale of Hope—films that challenge the status quo and advocate for a deeper connection between people and planet.

We explore how stories help us make sense of the world, Josh’s evolution as a filmmaker at Liars and Thieves, and the inspirations behind his new nonprofit, Land & Sea for All—an organization committed to championing impact storytelling and amplifying individual and community voices to drive meaningful change.

This episode is dedicated to "the great connector" and friend to so many, Jeff Lee.

🎧 Tune in to hear how storytelling can protect wild places, inspire action, and ultimately, help shape a more sustainable and just future.
