I think this episode and book changed my life course many moons ago. I get tears every time I listen to the song. :) It’s the story how how the conservation movement got started in America. It’s a good listen and the book is a good, quick read.

    I’m on my phone and have no clue what hell these links may unleash, but here’s the album on youtube and spotify.

    …Now that I think on it, it’s been so long since I listened to the 99PI episode, I can’t even remember if they make use of or even mention the album. Apologies for my fanboy hat maybe being screwed on a little too tight! 😆

    EDIT: As for their non-Wild-Ones work, I tend toward their first two albums since they’re a bit more… moody 'n dramatic than the newest one. They’re a side project of a bunch of musicians, so the discography is pretty small and easy to get through.
