Burn Wild

In an effort to stop a ski resort expansion in Vail, Colorado, environmental activists set fire to several buildings. It was the work of the Earth Liberation Front, an extremist group that targeted companies they felt were damaging the environment. The FBI labeled the group eco-terrorists and the country’s greatest domestic terror threat. For decades, two of its leaders have been on the run. Now it’s time for them…and the rest of the world…to face the consequences of their actions.

From BBC Sounds comes the new podcast “Burn Wild.” Host Leah Sottile of “Bundyville” and “Two Minutes Past Nine” turns her attention to a different kind of extremist. She poses the question, is it okay to do the wrong thing for the right reason?

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "BURN WILD" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 9 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
