We revisit two earlier interviews on WestSouthwest. A Western Michigan University researcher looking into why so many bats are dying from White Nose Syndrome. And asking if Kalamazoo's craft beer industry can keep growing. 

  

Sehvilla Mann spoke with Western Michigan University researcher Maarten Vonhof about his quest to find out why so many bats are dying because of White Nose Syndrome. It orginally aired in January. Last week the U.S. Fish and Wildlife placed the Northern Long-Eared Bat on the "Threatened" species list. 

It was also in January when Encore Magazine Staff Writer Tiffany Fitzgerald shared what she learned about the craft brewery scene in Kalamazoo. While there are many options for beer lovers in Kalamazoo, the saturation point doesn't seem to be here yet.
