Bonus Episode: How We Survive – The Changing Threat Oct 09, 2024

Show notes

We’re sharing a special episode in the feed this week of How We Survive from Marketplace.

For Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal, joining the Navy fresh out of college was one of the most consequential times of his life. It was the 1980s; the Cold War and the Soviet “evil empire,” in President Ronald Reagan’s words, was the greatest threat. Fast-forward through 40 years and one career change, and the threat looks different. Climate change does not have a face or a flag, but it will fundamentally change the way the U.S. military trains and fights. It already has.

In the sixth season of “How We Survive,” Ryssdal travels to far corners of the world, from a small Arctic village to a remote island in the Pacific and a warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. He shines a light on how the institution that shaped him could shape our climate future.

9. Presenting: Sea Change Apr 26, 2024

Show notes

Right now in the US, there is a GAS BOOM. A liquified natural gas boom — or LNG. The US produces the most LNG in the world. And the epicenter of this massive expansion? It’s here on the Gulf Coast.

Today, we’re sharing a special episode from Sea Change. Sea Change is back for a new season that tackles a range of issues, bringing new investigations into whether a global gas expansion based on the Gulf Coast threatens to upend the world’s climate goals and how money from the fossil fuel industry could influence university research. Sea Change unpacks the most captivating and challenging topics impacting our coasts. Like this episode, part of a special 3-part series with the Pulitzer Center’s nationwide Connected Coastlines, featuring the perspectives and experiences of individuals affected by the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in the Cameron Parish area of Louisiana.
