This piece is a nicely produced interview with an environmental advocate on a particular aspect of the Endangered Species Act. Host Betsy Rosenberg is polished, and the piece moves along nicely, although there isn't anything special beyond a straight interview. Stations considering it for broadcast should be aware that it is a political advocacy piece, partially sponsored by Earthjustice, which bills itself as the "leading national non-profit public interest law firm" dedicated to protecting the environment, and it directs listeners to that web site. To my ear, the piece spends proportionately too much time talking about what the group it represents is, rather than focusing on the topic, which is protecting the wolverine population.
