Yosemiteland is a new podcast from Capital Public Radio

A new podcast from Capital Public Radio reporter Ezra David Romero is digging into stories about Yosemite National Park. Called Yosemiteland, the limited-run series explores everything from commercialization to climate change. A new episode also deals with how the park is dealing with wildfire. That's of special concern now as most of the park is closed to the public due to impacts from the Ferguson Fire. We recently spoke with Romero about his reporting on the fire, and on how the normally traffic-clogged roads of the park have changed the Yosemite experience.
