Bonus: Why I Narrated an Audiobook About a Green Energy Fight

Recently, DSM host Anna Sale came across a book she liked so much that she offered to narrate the audio version. The book is by Amy Gamerman, and it’s called The Crazies: The Cattleman, the Wind Prospector, and a War Out West. It tells the real story of a down-on-his-luck cattle farmer who decides to build wind turbines and the wealthy newcomers who try to stop him. In this Slate Plus episode, Anna talks to the author about what makes this story so special and so critical. We’re also sharing a brief excerpt of the audiobook. The full audiobook, narrated by Anna, is available here -- https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Crazies/Amy-Gamerman/9781797186603 Podcast production by Cameron Drews.
