James Crimp and the polar bears

This interview focuses on a Steller Seconday School student's recent trip to see polar bears in Canada. It was interesting to hear this student's progression from first being involved with his school's environmental club to travelling to Canada to see firsthand how climate change affects life in the Arctic. I was surprised to hear that James Crimp didn't have a "polar bear thing," as ATMI reporter Javon Johnson calls it, before going on the expedition, and he only developed a specific interest in polar bears after seeing them in the wild. The interview is on the long side, and can be strengthened with tighter cuts and a stronger focus on what Crimp saw during the trip. I would guess that listeners have not had the rare opportunity to see polar bears in person, and would appreciate hearing more about Crimp's observations. The volume levels during the interview also seemed to peak frequently.
