I interview award-winning popular science writer Mary Roach about her new book Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. It's a humorous look at the serious topic of human-animal conflict in an age of exploding population and global warming.

Buy your very own copy of Fuzz.

This was Mary's third appearance on American Freethought. Listen to her first two appearances here:

099 - Mary Roach (Packing for Mars)

250 - Mary Roach (Grunt)

Plus:

(Briefly mentioned in the interview) The snail darter--a tiny fish once on the endangered species list--is back in the news!

Twenty years after 9/11: I look back at fact-versus-fiction in the root causes of the terrorist attacks, and assess our success after two decades of fighting the so-called War on Terror.
