Last May a tornado hit St. Louis, pummeling some of the city’s most vulnerable neighborhoods. There was no way it wouldn’t touch STL’s brick salvage economy. I got to follow along with a bricklayer, who’s racing to build back houses before it’s too late. outsideinradio.org/shows/the-br...

Absolutely fantastic new book by @mariahblake.bsky.social -- it was the (sobering) delight of some time off this week to finish "They Poisoned the World." For anyone who wonders what dogged environmental journalism is, look no further than Blake's footnote section -- a thing of absolute glory!

New at @searchlightnm.bsky.social: our own Molly Montgomery spoke with @mariahblake.bsky.social, author of “They Poisoned the World,” an important new book about the history and toxic legacy of “forever chemicals.” (Which were an outgrowth of the Manhattan Project.) searchlightnm.org/new-mexico-p...

Been thinking a lot about big ships lately, over at @outsideinradio.bsky.social! This was a gnarly story to report: lots of fuzzy numbers, conflicting narratives and long-held truths. As always, going directly to the people interacting with these ships reaped the most interesting answers.

This summer, more than 100 cruises will visit Portland, Maine. They arrive with a promise: more ships mean more money for a local economy. But how is that playing out on the ground? @marinahenke.bsky.social spent the past few months charting these muddy waters. outsideinradio.org/shows/cruise...
