One Foot in the Black

One Foot in the Black is a six-episode podcast telling the story of fire in the West—how the landscape has been shaped by fire, how climate change is remaking the rules, and how our future with fire is tied to the past.

Join hosts Joseph Vaile and Alexi Lovechio, as they explore the facts, future, and solutions of wildfire in the era of climate change. You’ll hear from voices on the front lines—like cultural fire practitioners, wildland firefighters, fire scientists, and policymakers—as we write the story of our fire future together.
