I decided animals needed an election postmortem after being erased from the political and media agenda by self-centered anthropocentrism; so I wanted to use this media platform with my friend from Oregon, Dr. Debra Merskin, to collectively grieve, vent, and discuss how we really feel this week as animal rights activists, vegans, environmentalists, social justice advocates, human animal earthlings, and feminists who were excited to have America's first women president after 200+ years! While the show is hopeful and uplifting in parts, that was not actually my aim. I just wanted to get real in explaining my despair and my fears and to share in some communal grieving and exhaustion that I know so many of you are feeling. In this 33- minute spirited discussion (it really gets going in the middle), we talk about how wild animals and domesticated animals (and all of us in a climate crisis) are likely to be negatively impacted (progress backtracked and undone) by this federal trump administration and all his (potentially unscientific and inappropriate) appointees, empowered by a conservative judiciary and legislative branch. We try to re-affirm biocentric values and discuss how we can put other animals on the political and media agenda so they are not continually ignored and forgotten, especially as we humans are largely the source of their harm, extinction, and exploitation and thus are responsible for rehabilitation; reminding us that we are all interdependent beings in a shared vulnerable biosphere (the ultimate reality apart from the post-truth mediated realities). We end with a “what to do now” variety of options on how to continue to be an activist for all marginalized communities of beings, if you even have the strength to be an activist at all anymore – local and community activism vs national or global solidarities -- collective resistance and non-compliance with authoritarian tactics and harmful policies. But maybe just for now, allow yourself to be sad and rest (and eat good vegan food).

Why do we celebrate Fat Bear Week? For bears, fat means survival. Every year since 2014, bystanders are welcomed to celebrate Alaska's Katmai National Park and it's healthy ecosystem, an ecosystem that provides enough salmon for Katmai's people...and bears. Kennedy highlights some of her favorite chubby front runners, who will be more than set for a peaceful hibernation during the winter months.

Every year, the Katmai National Park in Alaska puts on a March Madness-style bracket of all the fattest bears in their park. It's a celebration of fatness, because a fat bear ahead of hibernation means a healthy bear come spring. This competition is popular — there were over a million votes tallied last year — and it speaks to a larger cultural obsession with bears. In honor of Fat Bear Week, Host Brittany Luse journeys through time to unpack what bears mean to us — and why they're family, friend and foe all at once. And later, an exploration of how the queer community emulates bearness — and what the symbol of the animal can mean to them.

Ya'all, it's the most wonderful time of the year: Fat Bear Week! Brown bears in Katmai National Park and Preserve are putting on the pounds before they hibernate. During this time, their metabolism, heart and breathing rate slow way down and they recycle their waste internally. Today, we look at the cool (and peculiar) biological processes taking place during hibernation. Plus, we talk through some other science headlines we're obsessing over, including the light pollution from satellites and how gravity affects antimatter.Read a science headline you want to know more about? Email us at shortwave@npr.org.

Travel reporter Natalie Compton ventures to Katmai National Park to meet the chonky stars of Fat Bear Week up close. Today, we dig into this wild tradition and what it teaches us about tourism, conservation and, of course, fat bears.Read more: It's impressive that anyone makes it to Katmai. Getting to the motherland of fat bears requires the kind of time and money Taylor Swift fans put into attending the Eras Tour. First there are the flights to Alaska. Then a floatplane or water taxi to the park. And there's a lottery system to score one of the 16 rooms at the lodge. Still, Natalie Compton made it — and so did a number of fat bear fanatics. Natalie talks to guest host Lillian Cunningham (host of the podcast “Field Trip”) about the adventure. To learn more about our National Parks, listen to “Field Trip.” Lillian will lead you on a journey through the messy past and uncertain future of America's most awe-inspiring places. You can find all five episodes here, or look for them wherever you listen to podcasts.

California wants to transform math instruction in schools — focusing on individual students' needs rather than requiring them to follow the same algebra-geometry-calculus track.  The House is at a standstill until the middle of next week when they elect a new speaker. That uncertainty and instability could be a sign that our democracy might be in trouble. Critics review the latest film releases: The Exorcist: Believer, Cat Person, The Royal Hotel, and Dicks: The Musical.  Katmai National Park's brown bears are packing on the pounds ahead of winter hibernation. The public will crown one of them as the fattest ursine resident.

Did I mention we'll even get a sneak peek into their steelhead operation in the lower 48? This is going to be one wild ride! Fishing Bristol Bay Show Notes with Kate Crump 03:20 - Kate and Justin have been in Alaska since April to prepare for this season. We hear about the different projects they're working on with the help of their friends and family before they open on June 17 with their first group of guests. 08:12 - Kate and Justin worked as guides for a number of years before they decided to have their own lodge. The Lodge at 58 North operated as a DIY property before, so the Crumps rallied their families and friends to assist them with the major remodeling of the place. 12:45 - The Naknek River is their home water, but they also fly to locations like Katmai National Park, Nushagak River, and Becharof National Wildlife Refuge, using their float plane, a de Havilland Beaver. 13:04 - Kate also dreams of flying their float plane. This reminds me of an episode featuring Tim Rawlins of LineSpeedJedi, who shared his experience flying a float plane in Alaska. Different Species at Bristol Bay 15:41 - According to Kate, Bristol Bay is the greatest swung fly fishery for rainbows in the world. But they also have people coming up in June specifically for King salmon because the Nushagak is home to the largest runs of King Salmon. 19:41 - Kate tells us what makes Bristol Bay so special compared to other fishing locations in Alaska. We also hear about the management practices for sockeye salmon in their area. 25:47 - Kate describes the diverse fishing experiences available at their lodge. They are a small operation that accommodates a single group of eight guests or two groups of four. This setup allows for a personalized and intimate experience for each fishing trip. 34:00 - Kate walks us through the different seasons up there. Additionally, we delve into whether they have plans to make Alaska their permanent home in the future. 42:23 - We talk about fishing for King Salmon and the important regulations in place to protect them. 49:58 - Kate shares insights about the rainbows in their area and discusses the perfect rod for targeting them. We also delve into the incredible abundance of sockeye salmon up there. The Crumps in Oregon's North Coast 58:22 - Kate shares a glimpse into their steelhead operation in the lower 48 and how it differs from their guiding experiences in Alaska. 1:00:54 - Kate says she is the only female fishing guide on the north coast. She opens up about the barriers she encountered and her mentor, Nancy Morris Lyon, the first female fishing guide in Bristol Bay. 1:13:32 - Kate loves hiking into small streams and fishing for rainbow trout in June and July. Her go-to mouse pattern is RIO's Pip Squeak. 1:16:00 - Kate enjoys listening to music while flying around on their float plane or when she's out on a boat. 1:18:13 - Kate always makes sure to have her sunglasses and rain jacket with her when venturing into the backcountry, and she recalls a time when she forgot her rain jacket and vowed never to make that mistake again. As a Patagonia ambassador, she highly recommends their Swiftcurrent rain jacket. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/470

This week Clint and Dawson sat down with Mark Martin. Mark was President of Marmot Mountain for 21 years. Mark is an avid fly fisherman and has an obsession with fishing for rainbow trout in Alaska. Mark grew up on the Rogue River in Oregon. He has fished his entire life. Mark says he has had a passion for fishing but pretty sure it has “morphed” into an obsession for big trout and steelhead. His first trip to Alaska was almost 20 years ago with the family. Got to experience the vast wilderness of Alaska from many points of view (kayak, boat, plane, hiking) and also got a taste of how different Alaska is for fishing. Mark returned in 2010, as part of a “buddies” trip to the Bristol Bay area for gigantic rainbow trout. These first trips were self-guided, with lots of lessons learned about how to best fish the rivers and creeks, what gear to bring for the day, where to walk and where to avoid, plus proper bear etiquette. He was able to learn enough to succeed on the early trips but also realized that a guide was essential to really access the best locations. Mark explains float planes are essential to travel to the remote rivers and creeks. Since 2010, he has been on 17 trips to the Bristol Bay area for rainbow trout fishing. And while there are opportunities to fish for salmon (Kings, Silvers, and Sockeye) in the area, it is the allure of an Alaska Rainbow Trout that keeps him coming back. They are strong, feisty, and acrobatic unlike any other freshwater fish in his opinion. Mark shares stories, tips and discusses the fishery, the Bristol Bay area and the grandeur Katmai National Park and lots and lots and lots of bear stories. Thanks for listening!

The federal government is leasing sites for innovative floating offshore wind farms in the deep waters along the California coast, and the oil and gas industry has expertise that can be put to good use for this untapped resource.  Also, Fat Bear Week celebrates the bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska who stock up on plenty of fat reserves to get them through the long frigid Alaskan winter, and salmon are the unsung heroes.  And protecting “megaforests,” the remaining intact big forests on Earth, offers a low-cost and highly beneficial way to mitigate the climate crisis.  -- Support for Living on Earth comes from maude.

National Women's Soccer League coaches fostered a culture of abuse and harassment, while team owners and the president of U.S. Soccer at the time failed to stop the abuse, according to a new report. “Confidence Man” and “The Divider” are recently-published comprehensive books about Donald Trump's presidency. KCRW gets summaries and asks why there's a continued appetite for Trump books. Music legend Loretta Lynn died today at age 90. Her legacy paved the way for outspoken women in country music. What TV show to watch this fall? “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey,” “Breeders,” “Warrior,” and “Miracle Workers” are recommendations from The Atlantic staff writer Shirley Li. Bears at Katmai National Park are packing on pounds in hopes of being crowned the fattest and thus healthiest. It's also close to hibernation season.

Only News from the Peak brings you artist and bear management tech Carl Ramm, who saw many of this year's contenders in action earlier this year as part of his work at Brooks Camp in Alaska's Katmai National Park.

Snow has fallen in the Rockies, the days are getting shorter, and some animals are realizing that winter isn't that far away.  With the change of seasons underway, you should mark your calendar for the most unusual competition in the National Park System and get started on your bracket. Not your NCAA basketball tournament bracket, but your fat bear bracket.

"Violent Ends" is back! Our semi-recurring format -- where we compare and contrast two movies with similar set-ups but very different conclusions -- gets a bear-themed outing. Dan shares two documentary excursions to Katmai National Park in Alaska to document some ursine friends. First up is Bears, the 2014 family-friendly Disneynature film, where (surprise!) John C. Reilly narrates a year in the life of three bears. Then, Dan and Brian discuss the tragic fate of Timothy Treadwell, the bear-obsessed conservationist as they talk through the Werner Herzog documentary portrait Grizzly Man.

We are finishing up Animorphs' Book 7 - a Rachel narrated book. In this last half of the book, the Animorphs are trying to figure out how to change their bleak future from being conquered by Yeerks. Talking points include how Ax would react to Sees candy (and how we may or may not have reacted similarly), the continued relevance of Keanu Reeves, the grizzly bears of Katmai National Park (check out the park's bears on their live webcams here), and Morgan revealing her new Animorph tattoos. Yes, she truly is a super fan.Twitter: @MiddleMorphEmail: MiddleMorph@gmail.comWe acquired the DNA for our morphs from these awesome photographers: Dirk van Wolferen, Marc-Olivier Jodoin, and Billy Huynh via unsplash.comOutro Music is "Rat Catcher" by Eaters: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/eaters
