Episode 6 Synopsis- In this episode, Emily tells a terrific story about parachuting beavers and asks us to think about all the ways these animals have helped to build (literally and figuratively) the Mountain West. She and Michelle are then joined by animal rights lawyer Asha Ramakumar and New York Times bestselling author of Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America, Leila Philip. This episode is a little longer because we were having just too much fun conversing with Asha and Leila. And we have fewer sources to list below because most of the episode is comprised of the interesting ideas of our guests.
