This is a podcast about the growing impact of wildfire smoke on the places we go to escape in the wilderness. As wildfires grow more frequent and intense, the haze they leave behind stretches far beyond the burn zone—affecting air quality, outdoor recreation, wildlife, and public health.

Listen as Dr. Kathy Vidlock and Joe Dantin explore how wildfire smoke is changing the way we live, breathe, and connect with the natural world and present solutions for navigating a smokier future outdoors.
