| 5/5/26 | ![]() Upending the Conventional Wisdom on the Role of Fire and Old-Growth in the PNW | How did the majestic forests of the Pacific Northwest come to be? That may seem like an esoteric question, but if we want to know how to protect and steward them as we enter the chaotic era of the climate crisis, it’s a question worth asking New research by University of Oregon researcher James Johnston is upending a big part of the conventional wisdom around the key role fire plays in the lifecycle of our forests. James is an Assistant Research Professor in U of O’s Institute for Res... | 29m 00s | ||||||
| 4/15/26 | ![]() Environmentalists Are Losing on Wildfire. Here's How We Win | As I’m recording this in mid-April, we are coming out of the one of the warmest and driest winters on record in the Pacific northwest, and snowpack is at catastrophically low levels. Add in the Trump administration’s intentional sabotage and decimation of FEMA, the Forest Service, NOAA, and other federal agencies, and it is hard not to think that we are in for an unprecedented fire season. Aside from the threat of homes and communities burning, and smoke potentially blanketing vast swaths o... | 38m 48s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | ![]() The Fight To Save Roadless Forests, with Len Montgomery of Environment America | I’m so excited to be back with a new interview after taking a little time off. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of bad news to come back to, but as ever, I am inspired by all the great work being done by activists and organizations to fight for a better world. One of those people is Len Montgomery, Director of Environment America's Great Outdoors Campaign and one of the leaders of the coalition to protect the Roadless Rule. Len has been working tirelessly to hold the line against the Trump... | 35m 20s | ||||||
| 2/11/26 | ![]() Xerces Society Founder Robert Pyle on Invertebrate Conservation, Resurrection Ecology, and More! | Dr. Robert Michael Pyle is a pioneer and legend in invertebrate conservation research and advocacy, as well as an accomplished author and poet. In 1971, he founded the Xerces Society, which has grown into the most influential invertebrate conservation organization in the world. He is also the author of many books of prose and poetry, and a great storyteller. This is part one of our conversation, part two will be out next week. This episode was researched and co-hosted by Coast Ran... | 55m 33s | ||||||
| 1/28/26 | ![]() Against the Eco-Fascist Creep! With the Anti-Creep Collective | The word fascism gets tossed around a lot these days, but what does that term even mean, and what does it mean to call, for instance, the Trump regime fascist as opposed to, or in addition to, authoritarian, or autocratic? And what about terms like eco-fascism or petro-fascism? Last fall I interviewed University of Oregon Professor Sarah Wald and we touched on the term ‘eco-fascism’. That sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole on that term and the dangerous myths that many environmen... | 51m 15s | ||||||
| 1/22/26 | ![]() Jamie Workman On Why He Wants Us To "Own The Wild", Water Credits, and More! (Part 2) | Today I’m featuring the second half of my conversation with author, speaker, entrepreneur, and wearer of many more hats, Jamie Workman. Jamie is most recently the co-author, along with Environmental Defense Fund executive director, Amanda Leland, of the new book, “Sea Change: Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions”, which highlights the under reported success of collaborative, rights-based management in restoring decimated oceanic ecosystems, and the human communities who ... | 40m 44s | ||||||
| 1/16/26 | ![]() Sea Change - Can 'Rights-Based Management Save Our Oceans? | Of all the myriad harms modern society is inflicting on our oceans, overfishing is right up there with climate change itself as one of the biggest threats to both marine ecosystems and the billions of people who rely on seafood as a major source of nutrition and income. The authors of the new book, “Sea Change: unlikely allies and a success story of oceanic proportions”, argue that there is a proven policy that has been working around the globe to rebuild fish populations while also creating ... | 48m 28s | ||||||
| 1/7/26 | ![]() Will FOFA Fix or F**k our Forests?! A Debate with Citizen's Climate Lobby | I have been a vocal critic of the so called “Fix our Forests Act” or FOFA, that is making its way through Congress. I think it is a cynical, bad faith bill that at best, doesn’t address the wildfire issues it purports to solve, and could actually make those issues much worse. Combined with the attempt to repeal the ‘roadless rule’, which protects vast swaths of public lands from road construction and extraction, and the Trump administration’s Executive Orders on dramatically increasing timber... | 40m 09s | ||||||
| 12/30/25 | ![]() Are We On The Cusp of a Community Forest Renaissance?! (CRR Best Of) | It is plain for anyone to see that the short rotation, financialized plantation management practiced by the Wall Street investors who own the vast majority of private timberland is destroying our communities and ecosystems. Coast Range Radio has been highlighting the need for an alternative model of forest management that sustains both economies and ecosystems for years. So when I heard about today’s guest’s research into community forests, I was all ears. Alexander Harris is the Land... | 28m 56s | ||||||
| 12/23/25 | ![]() Landscape Conservation in the Kitsap Peninsula, with Great Peninsula Conservancy | Today we’re joined by Nathan Daniel, Executive Director of the Great Peninsula Conservancy. Nathan has helped guide some of the most ambitious conservation work going on in Western Washington - specifically on Kitsap Peninsula, the forested lowlands between Seattle and the Olympic mountains. Big thanks to Andy Shoemaker for co-hosting this episode! https://greatpeninsula.org/ https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/ | 29m 00s | ||||||

| 12/17/25 | ![]() Is Amazon Fueling A Water Crisis in Oregon? | Are Amazon data centers fueling a water contamination crisis in Eastern Oregon Rolling Stone recently published a major investigative piece asking that question. But Amazon is far from the only major corporation polluting the drinking water of Morrow County residents, and this crisis has been going on for decades. Oregon Rural Action has been organizing in and advocating for communities in Eastern Oregon for years. They were heavily quoted in that Rolling Stone article, and they have be... | 32m 55s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | ![]() Conservation Confidential: Mitch Friedman's "Wild Path to More Effective Activism" | Is the conservation movement being as effective as we need to be? This is a moment in time when so much is on the line, and we need to act not just boldly and quickly, but wisely and strategically. To discuss all of this and more, my guest today is Mitch Friedman, founder and Executive Director of Conservation Northwest, and the author of a brand new memoir: “Conservation Confidential: A Wild Path to a Less Polarizing and More Effective Activism.” Conservation Confidential is a highly ... | 35m 15s | ||||||
| 11/26/25 | ![]() Why is the Forest Service Trying to Log Walla Walla's Drinking Watershed?? | Should we be logging our drinking watersheds to protect them? That’s the question for residents of Walla Walla Washington, whose pristine drinking water comes off of National Forest land. The Forest Service is planning to a major and multi-faceted project with the stated purpose of protecting Walla Walla’s drinking water from wildfire. But what about the impacts of road building and commercial logging in intact, native forest? These questions over how and whether to use so called... | 43m 59s | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | ![]() Newport Crushes ICE Facility! (at least for now), With Mayor Jan Kaplan | By now, many, if not most of you have heard that ICE has been secretly planning to build some kind of jail or detention facility in Newport here on the Oregon Coast. The community pushback has been immediate, fierce, inspiring, and seemingly successful, at least so far. This is a developing story, and only one skirmish in a wider war to protect our communities from these masked and lawless thugs. The Newport City Council has been proactive, out front, and clear in their staunch opposition to ... | 29m 00s | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | ![]() Trump's EPA Sabotage, Is Oregon's Legislature Failing Us, and more, with Britney Van Citters of OLCV | My guest today is Britney Van Citters, Political and Organizing Director at the Oregon League of Conservation Voters. Britney joins to discuss how the Environmental Protection Agency is being refashioned into the Environmental Destruction Agency, OLCV’s legislative Scorecard, and what we can do to push Oregon legislators to meet this moment of overlapping crises with real action. My email is coastrangeradio@gmail.com, I would love to hear what you think of the show! Show Notes: https://ww... | 39m 30s | ||||||
| 11/5/25 | ![]() Free To Grow - Aerial Herbicide Spraying in Industrial Timberlands, With Filmmaker Jesse Andrew Clark | I’m joined today by filmmaker Jesse Andrew Clark, to talk about his recent documentary, “Free to Grow”. Free to Grow uses deeply personal first person storytelling to highlight the harms of herbicide spraying on industrial timberlands in the Northwest. Show Notes: https://www.oldgrovefilms.com/forest-stories https://www.opb.org/news/article/blm-investigates-after-company-sprays-pesticide-on-public-land-without-license/ https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/ | 33m 04s | ||||||
| 10/23/25 | ![]() Eco-Fascism, Public Lands Attacks, and the Power of Narratives, with Professor Sarah Wald | My guest today is University of Oregon professor and longtime activist, Sarah Wald. Sarah is the author of multiple books, and as you’ll hear today, a profound thinker on a wide variety of issues concerning the conservation and environmental justice communities. This is one of my favorite conversations I’ve ever had on this show, in part because Sarah was so game to explore some really complicated points of tension within our movements. I definitely learned a lot, and was happy to have ... | 1h 02m 00s | ||||||
| 10/14/25 | ![]() Heroes of the Forest, Part 1: Francis Eatherington | As I’ve talked about on this show before, the Trump administration is using every tool available to target public lands and our mature and old-growth forests (along with, of course, democracy, basic human rights, any shred of protection against corporate oligarchy, etc etc. But this is primarily a show about northwest conservation and climate, so as much as I want to rant about all the things, I’m going to keep it focused!) As we gear up for a new round of the Timber Wars, I’ve been thinking ... | 55m 26s | ||||||
| 10/8/25 | ![]() Maya Van Rossum's Green Amendment Movement | I don’t have to tell anyone how bleak things look at the federal level. Here in the Pacific Northwest, if we’re being honest, there is not a lot that we can do at the moment to influence federal policy. But when it comes to climate and the environment, I’ve always been a little ambivalent about how much can be done at the state and local level. I want to be clear, local activism and organizing are incredibly important, and that’s where most of us can make the most difference. But ... | 48m 31s | ||||||
| 9/30/25 | ![]() Defending Eastside Forests, with the Blue Mountains Biodiversity Project | We’re heading East today! Oregon’s Blue Mountains encompass some of the most beautiful landscapes and habitats anywhere. Within the Blue’s 15,000 square miles, you’ll find such Oregon gems as the John Day river, the Eagle Cap wilderness, Hell’s Canyon, and a huge percentage of Oregon’s forests. But because they are geographically isolated from major population centers, they often don’t get the recognition they deserve. That remoteness also makes them vulnerable to resource extrac... | 37m 48s | ||||||
| 9/24/25 | ![]() Greenwashing in the Evergreen State, with Journalist Paul Koberstein | My guest today is author and journalist, Paul Koberstein. I spoke with Paul in 2024 about a book he co-authored called “Canopy of Titans: The Life and Times of the Great North American Temperate Rainforest”. I recently read a great new article of his entitled “Greenwashing in the Evergreen State”, exploring how an industry funded quasi-academic entity got the Democratically controlled Washington State Legislature to endorse industrial logging as beneficial for the climate. I’m a sucker ... | 28m 59s | ||||||
| 9/9/25 | ![]() Action Alert! Defending the "Roadless Rule", with the Sierra Club and Representative Andrea Salinas | If you’re hearing this before September 19th, I need you to do me a favor: the Trump administration is attempting to eliminate a policy called the “Roadless Rule”, which would open tens of millions of acres of vibrant forests and public land to industrial logging and mining. The Forest Service is accepting public comment on the plan to eliminate the Roadless Rule until September 19th, and it is important that we flood them with comments and petitions to leave these critical forests and ecosys... | 46m 25s | ||||||
| 9/3/25 | ![]() Grieving In Nature, and Grieving For Nature, with Adam Sawyer | I just got back from a really amazing backpacking trip in the wilderness of Wyoming, and I’ve been reflecting on how nature, wilderness, sacred lands, whatever you want to call them, have always been a source of refuge, spiritual rejuvenation, and healing for humans. But a question I and so many others are grappling with right now is, how do we continue to find inspiration and healing in a world that is being so deeply harmed. My guest today is author, travel writer, and speaker, Adam Sawyer.... | 28m 59s | ||||||
| 8/19/25 | ![]() How the Trump Administration is Sabotaging Environmental Regulations | Just keeping up with the Trump administration’s all out war against our environment is exhausting. Fortunately, we in the northwest are blessed with incredible activists, organizers, and more relevant to today, environmental attorneys to help us understand the attacks so we can fight back effectively. One of the best of those attorneys is Brenna Bell, formerly of 350pdx and now with the Crag Law Center. This episode features a recent presentation Brenna gave along with Laure... | 56m 14s | ||||||
| 8/12/25 | ![]() Flight Paths: Why Understanding the Mystery of Bird Migration Matters for Effective Conservation | I’m delighted to be joined today by Rebecca Heisman, freelance journalist and the author of “Flight Paths: how a passionate and quirky group of pioneering scientists solved the mystery of bird migration”. Flight Paths is a fascinating and engaging deep dive into the history and science of bird migration research, and how understanding bird migration matters for effective conservation efforts. My 'emailbox' is always open coastrangeradio@gmail.com, drop me a line with show ideas, guest suggest... | 29m 00s | ||||||
