  • Great investigative work and storytelling

    Great investigative work and storytelling on an important topic. I love the primary source interviews of different stakeholders, review of relevant history and current events and insights on interconnections between the ecosystem and human activities. Have relistened to it all three times and am looking forward to more seasons hopefully.
