We are excited to share an episode from our friends at Wyoming Public Media, who produce the The Modern West, a podcast documenting the evolving identity of the American West.

Hop in a pickup as we head out into the National Elk Refuge outside Jackson, WY, to hear all about the debate over whether to wean elk off winter feeding before chronic wasting disease strikes. This is a story about science, politics, and the messy reality of managing wildlife in the American West.

Check out this episode, titled "Wasting Away", and listen and subscribe to the podcast The Modern West on all platforms or visit themodernwest.org.
