On this week's Ally Radio, we head to Maui, where a wildfire has destroyed an historic town, killed dozens of people and destroyed homes and businesses. Our friends at KMUD Redwood Community Radio were able to connect with our radio friends in Maui to check in.
Then, we look at the world-famous El Capitan. This granite wall has attracted climbers from around the world for decades. But, what do we really know about 'El Cap?' We chat with our outdoors writer, Matt Johanson.
