"Ahearn excels at capturing natural sounds to create an immersive experience. Listeners feel as though they are right alongside her, listening to wolves howl, poking around cow dung looking for beetles and sitting in the saddle on cattle drives. Short episodes sometimes left me wanting more detail...collectively, the episodes offer numerous ways to rethink how meat is raised, and in the process, how ranchers interact with the land around them."
