Description

This year has been the worst fire year on record, last year was the worst before this one...these current fires are more like firestorms than wildfires with thousands of acres already burned and smoke covering the entire western US....so why are they so bad? also we talk to Shasta-Trinity National Forest Rangeland Technician Scott Dunbar about the ways the misuse of land has led us to experience these giant blazes.
Can we ask you for a favor? Please rate and subscribe on itunes, the 5 star kind of course! It really helps :) We will forever be in your debt, thank you.

The longest running (and most popular) science podcast for those of us who got kicked out of class for throwing pencils at the ceiling. Adam and Noah are skeptical twin brothers whose separate journeys through professional science and engineering led them to a ridiculous notion: that reality is strange and barely understood. Unfortunately they just didn't have the attention span to listen to any science podcasts without wanting to gouge their eyes out with a spoon. If you've ever wanted to listen to more podcasts about cosmic quandaries, evolutionary mysteries, and giant creatures living underneath the ice of rogue planets but just can't stand academic rambling delivered with a nasally voice, then this podcast is for you.
