Who’s moving here, more pig problems, bitcoin mining: Down in Alabama

From today’s Down in Alabama podcast:

There’s more than one reason for the negative impacts wild hogs have -- one being that swine put away nearly a quarter of available acorns.

Another is that pigs get into streams, root around and kick up sediment and go No. 2 right there in the water. Like the pigs they are.

On today’s news updates we’ll talk about what the latest research is saying about feral swine, which states new Alabamians are coming from, and Alabama’s first bitcoin-mining operation.
