Episode notes

Alaska Daily is a new ABC drama starring Hilary Swank, Grace Dove and Jeff Perry. The story follows the investigation of an Indigenous woman who has gone missing in Alaska. Benji Jones explains what ROA will do to protect wildlife before it ends up on the Endangered Species List. And how state-led conservation comes largely from licenses for hunting and fishing.

The Endangered Species Act was transformative in protecting animals from extinction. Vox’s Benji Jones says its proposed successor, the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act, would be the most significant conservation law in decades.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
