I would highly recommend this entire series, especially to radio stations in the West where wildfires have become a constant concern.

  •  
  • Summary: On the first episode of California Burning, we explore the history of the Forestry Department, and how a series of unprecedented wildfires lead to policies that have made our forests ripe for even more catastrophic fires. Forest historians Steven Pyne and Char Miller tell the story. On this episode we also hear from Smokey Bear Biographer James Lewis to learn about the rich history of the most effective advertising campaign in American History and how the effectiveness of that campaign led to a deep misunderstanding of fire ecology.
