Revisiting Australia's Bushfires (w/ The Guardian's Graham Readfearn)

This week, we talk to Australian reporter Graham Readfearn, who's part of an incredible environment and climate team at The Guardian Australia that is putting together the remarkable series "After the bushfires." We discuss what scientists have discovered regarding the devastating impacts to Australia's wildlife, biodiversity, and natural habitat, and how Australians are coping with the back-to-back disasters now that COVID-19 has hit and another bushfire season looms. We also finish talking about Graham's incredible wildlife feature story about a love story that rose from the ashes of the disaster.  Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also discuss the New York Times' reporting on the flooding in Bangladesh.
