Alkaline Trio vs. wild bears

I covered the release of five black bear cubs back into the Carson Range this week, the culmination of a project we've been following for more than a year. It was pretty intense, to say the least. My photographer, Patrick, got some spectacular video of the release, which can be seen along with my story here . You can see me in some of the shots and Carl, the biologist who led the adventure, is talking to me in the narration -- we just cut my audio in editing.

I've done about four stories on Carl and his new wife (one of the few people in the Carson City area who might be cuter than me), so I guess that makes us all sort of work friends. Which is good, because, as you'll see in the clip, Carl is not a guy you want to get crosswise with.

Also, I did a phoner with Matt from the Alkaline Trio in advance of their show next week. He was a really cool guy, one of the easiest rock star interviews I've ever done. Check it out here.
