    In this episode, we're finishing our two-part series covering some stories from the recent wrongful terminations carried out by the U.S. federal government. In this episode, we hear from former US Forest Service ranger Liz Crandall about her life, the work she did, and how her job was stripped from her. We also hear Kathryn Brainerd's story about how the job she was offered simply ceased to exist.

    Ep. 93: Wrongfully Terminated (feat. Alex Troutman)
    Mar 26 2025
    On February 14th, the Trump Administration wrongfully terminated tens of thousands of probationary federal employees. For all of these employees, their termination was blind-siding and life changing. Even though this episode was recorded before some recent changes, there is still so much up in the air. In Part 2 to this episode next week, we'll give updates on Alex and Cheyenne, and get more into what Reduction in Force means.

I like listening to Ashley's collection of attack stories from the news, and really enjoy when she has specialists on the show with solid information and facts. There are a lot of interesting animal interactions that are explored and explained.

*That said,* Nick repeatedly saying "nice" in response to a charging animal being shot or a dumb person being attacked is off-putting. The b**ls it takes to argue with his friend and co-host, Ashley, (who has worked as a wildlife control officer among many other skilled animal management positions) over "why can't we ride dolphins if we ride horses?" -esque questions is astounding.

I understand having a layman to ask questions that people who work with animals may not realize isn't common knowledge. Instead, there are episodes I stopped midway through because I couldn't listen to anymore gleeful ignorance being asserted with the same certainty as *actual facts, research and hands-on experience* from Ashley.

Ashley, you got this. Nick, be supportive and not defensive. One of you is right when you two disagree and ***spoiler*** it's Ashley.

If I could just mute Nick
