Welcome to episode zero of Life With Fire, a new podcast that aims to deepen our understanding of wildfires and the critical role they play in America's forests, lands and communities. For our intro episode, host Amanda Monthei explains her background as a wildland firefighter and writer, and shares a bit about what you can expect from the show.

Keep an eye out on our first three episodes, which will be dropping by August 17.

You can listen to the show (or maybe even subscribe if you're really feeling it) on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
