Where The Buffalo Roam
Posted by Mark Winegar on July 22, 2008
This is a stunning travelog of America’s western wilderness in 28 parts. Each pod focuses on one aspect of the natural west. Water in Wyoming and the West discussed the fragile nature of water and its significant role as a life-giver. Mountain Lions presents the illusive predator from its own point of view. The true role of western women is revealed in A Woman’s Work Is Never Done: Geraldine Lucas. And Bison examines the natural history of the King of the Prairie. I think this would be a wonder series for a geography or American history course.
I enjoyed listening to these pods and learned a lot despite living in the west for the past decade. These programs from Teton Science are brief and to that point. The banjo music in the background moves the mind west of the Mississipi. You can find these pods on iTunes.
