A Podcast Called "Grouse"
Grouse is a show about the most controversial bird in the West and what it can teach us about hope, compromise and life in rural America. Hosted by Ashley Ahearn, Grouse is an eight-part podcast series produced in partnership with BirdNote Presents and distributed in collaboration with Boise State Public Radio. New episodes are released every Tuesday.
Don’t miss episode 3, which is all about fire and invasive annual grasses: “As the climate warms and invasive cheatgrass moves in, thousands of acres of sagebursh are burning across the West each year. And sage grouse are feeling the heat too, as the ecosystem shift destroys their habitat. Caleb McAdoo is a biologist with Nevada Fish and Game. He's lived in sagebrush country his whole life — he loves this landscape — and now, he's watching it disappear before his eyes. What can we learn from wildfire?”
