In this episode of The Yosemite Podcast, I dig in to one of the most controversial projects to take place in any National Park, the damming of Hetch Hetchy, a mountain valley within Yosemite National Park that now serves as San Francisco's water sand hydro-electric power source.

In this episode of Little Yo Pod, I dipped into an older episode I did on another podcast called Sexy Planet, a podcast about why our planet is the best planet and what we need to do to help keep it sexy. I had to put that project on hold due to a busy schedule, but this was an episode I had released that I am really proud of and especially pertains to our upcoming topic all about fire in California.

I hope you like this slightly different episode! Thank you as always for your support.
