77: Yosemite National Park

There’s not much in life you can understand without context. When it comes to the systematic destruction of our planet during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, the context is this – for the first 300,000 years of human history, nature, as former Laker coach Pat Riley might put it, “kicked our ass.” Nature had us in a choke hold from the first cave to the first cafe, with famine, disease, natural disasters, and the occasional haymaker of a plague, bubonic, choleric, or otherwise. -Visit us online at: Itshometownhistory.com -Find us on all podcasting platforms: https://link.chtbl.com/hometownhistory -Support our podcast by becoming a patron at: Patreon.com/itshometownhistory -Check out our other podcasts: itsarclightmedia.com Episode Sponsor: - Go to Talkspace.com.
