Listen "Ep. 175: Outdoor Investigative Journalism: From Lyme Disease to Endangered Species with Jimmy Tobias"
Episode Synopsis
Journalist Jimmy Tobias started out working on backcountry trails for the US Forest Service and Montana Conservation Corps. Since then, he has become one of America's hardest-hitting investigative reporters specializing in public lands, conservation, and the outdoors. Tobias' story about the link between ecosystem disruption and tick-borne illnesses, "How Lyme Disease Became Unstoppable," was published in June 2022 in The Nation. That story was the original inspiration for this interview, but Hal and Jimmy range far afield, from ticks to endangered species protection and the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, which promises to dismantle federal public lands and their management once and for all.
