Jonathan Munnier - Podcasting And Adventures in Falconry
Monday, 18 August, 2025

This episode is a fun little "mic flip" where I get to interview Jonathan Munnier, host of the Falconry Chronicles podcast. We dive into his start in falconry and in podcasting, and how the two overlap. Then hop into some squirrel hawking, dog talks, and a run down of his last season with a hand-me-down goshawk! 1:40 - Jonathan's Falconry blunder story (it involves an audience... as so many of our follies do!) 6:08 - Jonathan's personal background in work and in music, and how that led him to falconry 15:37 - First dog stories with a Viszla, and how he ended up with his current team of Dachshunds. 12:34 - What you need to know going into your first Dachshund 31:34 - Red tails, squirrel hawking, and adding in dogs 43:05 - Jonathan's experience last season with a hand-me-down goshawk. His learnings, his takeaways, and some words of advice for those looking to pick up a second hand bird 55:05 - How you can support podcasters and keep falconry content coming to your feed 1:00:00 - Jonathan's rockstar story; that first catch moment, when it all finally came together and he could officially be called a falconer
