In this episode, I interview Tim Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Tim discusses PEER's unique mission in representing public employees, particularly whistleblowers. Our conversation touches on the challenges faced by public employees, the critical state of public lands, and the impact of current administrative policies. Tim emphasizes the importance of public engagement and support for civil servants and federal workers.
