Welcome to Episode 32 of the This Was An Assignment Podcast! This episode I had the privilege of talking to a very good friend of mine, Alec Erickson. Alec and I grew up playing sports together, but it wasn’t until recent years that we developed a better friendship. Alec is a really interesting guy. Not only does he work for the County Watershed as a field tech, but he also knows a lot about action sports, politics, and the mountains. Alec is a really good guy and I’m thankful for people like him that I can learn from. We talked a lot about the upcoming election, and Alec explained a lot to me about climate change, the wildfires, and what we need to do to get our environment healthy again. I hope you guys enjoy listening to this episode, and please, GO VOTE!
