I spend a lot of time in New Mexico, and have been waiting for the right moment to bring my recording gear. Unfortunately, the state of the Rio Grande in ABQ this summer was that moment.

What happens when the river that cuts through town runs dry? That's what played out in Albuquerque, New Mexico this past summer. In August, our producer @marinahenke.bsky.social went to Albuquerque to talk with the people who flock to the Rio Grande daily. outsideinradio.org/shows/a-dry-...

Being the kid of a Shakespeare professor meant for some theater-centric summer trips. This week on Outside/In, I got to investigate an absolutely WILD production of Titus Andronicus I'd heard about for years.

A field trip, a play, and @marinahenke.bsky.social's case against outdoor dining. outsideinradio.org/shows/fiasco...

Urban light pollution is so extreme, in many cities you'd be lucky to make out 1 star. But @marinahenke.bsky.social spoke to a dark sky advocate who thinks there's hope. In fact, @meganeaves.com thinks we all could be urban stargazing. Check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts. 🌠

A new "Avatar" comes out this weekend and we've got movies on the mind! It doesn't hurt that @natehegyi.bsky.social is a huge movie buff (the same can't be said for @marinahenke.bsky.social). Check out our latest episode where you get your podcasts. outsideinradio.org/shows/the-fe...

The FernGully Effect — Outside/In

With a third Avatar hitting theaters this weekend, we were inspired to bust out the popcorn, dim the lights, and play the part of pop culture critics. How do movies – from blockbusters to documentari...

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...

The Brick Lady of St. Louis — Outside/In

After a tornado tore through town, a neighborhood in St. Louis is trying to save its bricks. Can they?

A tour of a 90,000 specimen-mycological collection was not on my 2025 bingo card.

Why were fungi incorrectly classified as plants for more than 200 years? Patty Kaishian, the curator of mycology at the New York State Museum has the answer. This week on Outside/In, @marinahenke.bsky.social takes a field trip to Albany. outsideinradio.org/shows/taxono...

Big news: After nearly a decade, DuPont has agreed to settle a class-action suit brought by the people of Hoosick Falls, NY, the community I spent years following for my book. All told, the village's roughly 3,000 residents will receive about $90 million in damages. #PFAS #ForeverChemicals

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.

Outside/In@outsideinradio.bsky.social · last yr.

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...
