Today's episode covers the 2007 brown bear attack on Katie Evans in Romania. This story is best told in episode 227 of the podcast "This is Actually Happening" - to differentiate our telling of the story, we discuss Romanian relationships with bears (past and present), and what types of animals call Romania home.

To understand John's perspective more or to read his writing on the attack, see his piece on Slate, or read his book "Young Widower: A Memoir".  You can also visit his website https://johnwevans.com.
