Local Motion: Wildish podcast, parts 3 & 4

Amy Berenbeim

On this week’s show, we have highlights from the third and fourth episodes of "Wildish," a new podcast from High Country News. Host Anna Coburn learns about federal mustang management in the not-so-wild West, introducing us to wildlife managers, landowners, and wild horse advocates. Her guests provide various perspectives on how to work together to manage wild horse and burro populations. Tune in to learn about the effect wild horses have on other wildlife, how humans evolved with horses, and how the federal government rounds up wild horses using a trained Judas horse.
