A podcast about how and why gentrification happens. Season 3, produced in partnership with WLRN, Miami’s public radio station, introduces us to “climate gentrification,” reporting about the ways climate change, and our adaption to it, may seriously intensify the affordable housing crisis in many cities. In many parts of the US, black communities were pushed to low-lying flood prone areas. As Nadege Green reports, in Miami, the opposite is true. Black communities were built on high elevation ...

Right now, the world has already lost 27% of its coral reefs, sea-level rise is stripping us of miles of coastlines, 60% of species have been lost since 1970, and the last 5 years have been the hottest on record.

The producers of “Hear The Big Picture” seek to tie scientific subject matter to history and current events–so that it’s more than just “science.” Put another way, our content is about the significance of science to culture and everyday life. Climate change and global warming have many manifestations, from extreme weather events such as increasingly fierce hurricanes to world-wide sea level rise, acidic oceans, and larger, hotter deserts that burn more readily. The burning of fossil fuels su ...

Running My Mouth Off About Climate Change explores the lesser-known sides of the climate crisis—the stuff that rarely makes the headlines. We dig into solutions, side effects, and the raw, human stories behind them. Because when you tweak one part of the system, something else always moves—and not always in the way you’d expect. Sometimes the results are powerful. Sometimes they’re messy. Either way, let’s explore it together—and have a little fun doing it.
