M.G. O'Connor Interview Episode 86

My interview with author M.R O'Connor about her book, Ignition: Lighting Fires in a Burning World is now posted. In a riveting investigation of the science and ecology of wildfires, journalist M.R. O'Connor ventures into some of the oldest, most beautiful, and remote forests in North America to explore the powerful and ancient relationship between trees, fires, and humans. She also writes about her experience working the fire line, the ecological balance of building and the need to purge the forest with “good fires.” A prescient read in our times that I hope you all will pick up.
