In this episode, we had a chance to sit down with author John Vaillant, who published a new book last summer about the 2016 Fort McMurray fires in Northern Alberta. The book, "Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World" is an in-depth exploration of the fires, which released in June 2023. We not only spoke about his reporting process in the aftermath of a catastrophic wildfire, but we also touched on some of the book's major themes and how these were, in many cases, paralleled by the 2023 fire season in Canada.
