Today, we are exploring a growing threat to our freshwater supplies in coastal regions all over the country. With climate change, we are experiencing sea-level rise and more frequent droughts, both of which make it easier for saltwater to creep into places we don't want it. First, we go to Plaquemines Parish, an area that's been dealing with the effects of saltwater intrusion on their drinking water for months. An extreme drought across the Midwest has meant a less-than-mighty Mississippi. Which, has allowed seawater to come up the River—otherwise known as our drinking water supply down here. And then we travel to the coast of North Carolina, where we see another impact of saltwater intruding where we don't want it. And we find out: what happens to agriculture when the saltwater comes in? Both of these places offer a glimpse into what could become a saltier future for much of our coastal communities. Reported by Halle Parker and David Boraks. Hosted by Carlyle Calhoun and Halle Parker. Our managing producer is Carlyle Calhoun. Our sound designer is Maddie Zampanti. Sea Change is a production of WWNO and WRKF. We are part of the NPR Podcast Network and distributed by PRX. David Boraks story was produced through a collaboration between WFAE public radio in Charlotte and Climate Central, a non-advocacy science and news group.

NCSEA was lucky enough to be invited back to the 2022 State Energy Conference to host another live recording of the podcast.

One year ago, co-hosts of the pod Tariq and Larken were just getting to know each other, and this unshared, timeless outtake was captured. 47 episodes later, the rest was history. If you listen closely you can hear WFAE’s David Boraks in the background. The post R&D in the QC – Special Holiday Outtake from 2017 appeared first on PFM Hero.

Updated Friday, Nov. 3, 2017, 11:24 a.m. This election season, political reporter Tom Bullock has been busy covering the race for Charlotte mayor and council through his Candidate ME podcast. This week, there’s more of that - he goes outside the city. Tom spoke to WFAE’s David Boraks about races for mayor and town board surrounding Charlotte. David says that concerns over growth are a consistent theme.

Environmental reporter David Boraks joins WFAE Talks for the first time. He talks about the dispute between Tesla Motors and Charlotte-area dealerships. The dealerships say Tesla cars can be sold in Charlotte, as long as dealers sell them. Tesla wants to having its own car lot and sell directly to the public, but many state laws across the country protect dealers from that kind of competition. We’ll also discuss recommendations for Common Core in North Carolina. A committee is recommending only small changes after much legislative and public debate more than a year ago. Plus, the potato field that on I-77 Friday morning.
