WHIN PODCAST
From the Nevada backcountry to the heart of your speakers, The WHINside Podcast is your front-row seat to the gritty, ground-level stories of wildlife conservation. Brought to you by Wildlife and Habitat Improvement of Nevada (WHIN), each episode dives into real projects—guzzler builds, predator management, waterfowl banding, youth hunts, and more. You’ll hear from the volunteers, biologists, hunters, and land stewards turning sweat equity into lasting impact. This isn't theory—it's action. Whether you're a seasoned outdoorsman or a curious conservationist, tune in and find out how WHIN is putting every dollar and drop of sweat to work for Nevada’s wild places.
Meet the Conservation Crew
Davin Sundvick
Host
Davin Sundvik is the spark plug of the WHIN crew, the young, ambitious force who hits the ground running long before the rest of us have poured our first cup of coffee. He’s got that boy-wonder mix of grit and imagination, the kind of guy who can pack a trailer full of gear, build a habitat project from scratch, and still find time to turn it into a killer social media reel before sundown. Even with a young family at home, he’s out there working shoulder-to-shoulder on every conservation project, proving that stewardship isn’t about age, it’s about heart. Davin brings the youthful motor that keeps this whole conservation machine humming, a reminder that the next generation isn’t just ready to step up, they already have.
Joel Henderson
Co-Host
Joel Henderson is the kind of southern waterfowler who carries Alabama mud on his boots like a badge of honor, a man shaped by early-morning river bottoms and the wild chorus of wood ducks breaking dawn. He’s got that rare blend of backwoods grit and conservation-minded purpose—someone who doesn’t just chase ducks, but defends the wetlands they depend on. Joel brings a lifetime of swamp wisdom to the WHIN Podcast, weaving stories of flooded timber and flyways with a deep respect for habitat, stewardship, and the wild places that define us. When Joel talks about ducks, he isn’t just talking about hunting—he’s talking about legacy, restoration, and ensuring the next generation inherits something worth waking up at 3 a.m. for.
Don Probst
Co-Host
Don Propst is the kind of hunting partner every crew wishes they had—the steady hand, the quiet mind, the guy who sees the whole landscape even when everyone else is focused on the next ridge or the next flock. He’s the thinker of the outfit, the one who asks the hard questions that make the rest of us better hunters and better conservationists. Don has that almost old-timely humility about him—sharp as a skinning knife but never showy about it—just a reliable presence who keeps the wheels turning and makes sure we all get back to camp in one piece. He’s the founder’s spirit in human form: thoughtful, grounded, and always looking three steps ahead to protect the places and wildlife we care about most.
Vince Marra
Audio Engineer
Vince Mara is the kind of behind-the-scenes craftsman every good camp—and every good podcast—relies on. He’s the technical wizard who sees sound the way a tracker reads a trail: every nuance, every glitch, every whisper of interference spotted long before anyone else notices. As our audio engineer, Vince is the guy who keeps the whole operation crisp, clean, and running smooth, the unsung hero who makes sure every story and every conservation message comes through loud and true. But don’t let the cables and mixers fool you—Vince is as dedicated to the field as he is to the soundboard. Age doesn’t slow him for a second; he’s at every project, boots on the ground, putting in the sweat for wildlife and habitat just like the rest of us. He’s proof that conservation needs thinkers, doers, and the rare few who can turn a mess of wires into something that sings.https://whinlv.org/whin-podcast/
Mitchell Stoker
Youth Host
Mitchell Stoker might be the youngest member of the WIN Podcast crew, but you wouldn’t know it by the way he carries himself in the field. He’s the boots-on-the-ground leader of our youth efforts, the guy who can wrangle a pack of teenagers, point them toward a project, and somehow turn the whole thing into an adventure worth bragging about. Mitchell’s got that raw energy and curiosity that reminds you why we fell in love with the wild in the first place. He’s already stacking real conservation work under his belt—building guzzlers, hauling gear, teaching younger kids what stewardship actually looks like. More than anything, he represents the future of WHIN: capable, hungry for adventure, and dead set on leaving Nevada’s wildlife and habitat better than he found it.
John Scanlan
Guest Coordinator
John Scanlon is the kind of guy you meet once and somehow feel like you’ve known your whole life. He’s got that natural friendliness that opens doors, tightens circles, and brings the right people into camp—and into the WHIN Podcast. John’s been hunting long enough to have stories buried in every corner of the map, and he seems to know just about everyone who’s worth knowing in the outdoor world. He’s our talent scout, the guy who can shake a hand at sunrise and have a guest booked by sundown. But beyond the introductions and connections, John shows up—every project, every build, every muddy, wind-blown conservation effort. He’s the reminder that stewardship thrives on community, and few people build that community better than John.
