THE NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLIES: WHO IS TO BL...

The Alarmist
About this episode

Who’s to blame for the Night of the Grizzlies?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes writer and podcaster James III (co-host of the podcast Tiny Dinos) to discuss the gruesome details of the Night of the Grizzlies in Glacier National Park. Is this yet another case of humans getting handsy or had America somehow forgotten about the dangers of bears in the wild? Could the animated classic Yogi the Bear have somehow allowed us to let our guard down? More importantly, are we doing “National Parks” correctly? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
