Today we’re hosting an episode by our friends and fellow Umbrella Podcast Collective members, “History Unhinged: Rainy Day Rabbit Holes.” Enjoy!

What do you do when beavers become a problem? If you're Idaho in the 1940s—you toss 'em out of airplanes, obviously.

In one of the most bizarre (and oddly effective) wildlife relocation plans in American history, Idaho officials came up with a truly unhinged solution: strap parachutes to live beavers and drop them from the sky into the backcountry. In this hilarious and curious episode, Shea and Jody dig into the Great Beaver Drop of 1948 and the logistics, ethics, and wild ingenuity behind it. From test beavers to confused fish & game departments, this episode will have you laughing and saying "Only in Idaho..."
