The chemical industry is big business in Louisiana. Companies here manufacture plastics, fuels, pesticides, and cleaning products. But one part of the chemical industry that's often overlooked is the fertilizer business. Today, you're going to hear the story of modern fertilizer, and how this powerful concoction of chemicals has radically reshaped how we farm and what we eat. In this episode, we follow the journey of fertilizer from Louisiana to the Midwest, then back down along the Mississippi River to a place it creates in the Gulf. A place called: The Dead Zone.This episode was produced in collaboration with the Food & Environment Reporting Network, an independent, nonprofit news organization.

Sea level rise is this big, scary reality. We're always hearing predictions from scientists that the oceans will swallow islands, flood major cities, and wipe out huge stretches of coastline. The longer we burn fossil fuels, the bigger the surge. It sounds apocalyptic on this huge, global scale.But also totally abstract – it's hard to picture. What will it mean for the sea to rise two feet… 4 feet…even 7 feet by the end of the century?Turns out, it depends where you look.In the first part of this episode, we're going to drop in two communities on America's coasts, each coming up with their own set of solutions to the water that is slowly consuming their edges.The holiday season has officially begun, and for many it's a time of reflection.

Japan was the world's largest importer of LNG for half a century. In the final episode of “All Gassed Up,” we travel to Asia to learn how the global gas industry is expanding — how the need for LNG continues to be sold. Right now, LNG is in its golden age – times are good, profits are high. And Japan's big bet is that these good times will keep rolling. That more and more of the world will get hooked on LNG. And this whole global gas expansion hinges on the Gulf Coast. Come with us to unravel this huge, risky gamble against climate action, and learn that, for many in the gas industry, natural gas is not a “bridge fuel.” It's a destination. So what happens to the rest of us if this so-called bridge never ends? “All Gassed Up” is a special 3-part series from Sea Change. This special series is part of the Pulitzer Center's nationwide Connected Coastlines reporting initiative. For more information, go to pulitzercenter.org/connected-coastlines.

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. For the last year, we've traversed Louisiana trying to uncover what this growing LNG industry means for the state. But, after talking with everyone – from shrimpers to energy insiders – we realized that the stakes were far bigger. If we really wanted to tell the whole story, we had to travel even farther. In this 3-part series, we follow the journey of American gas around the world to find out if LNG is the miracle fuel it's claimed to be. If it really can prevent a climate apocalypse. Or is it a carbon bomb waiting to go off? In part one, we start in Louisiana — ground zero. We see how the rise of these massive export terminals has transformed one community.

Until the Ukraine War, Russia was Europe's biggest supplier of natural gas. After the invasion, political leaders wanted off Russian gas, and fast. So, they turned to the U.S. In part two, we follow American gas all the way to Germany — Europe's biggest energy consumer, where the energy crisis hit hardest. US LNG provided a lifeline for Germany.

We know that everyone has a role in tackling the climate crisis, so what about artists? We talk with Atlanta-based artist Heather Bird Harris, who has begun making her own paint out of the earth to talk about environmental crises in Louisiana. And we sit down with ecologist Ashley Booth and historian Jeffery Darensbourg to hear how art can combine with other disciplines to communicate in a way they can't. Then, we go to A Studio in the Woods — literally, a studio tucked deep in the woods — to see a rock puppet show grappling with our increasingly extreme weather. Artists and musicians Quintron and Miss Pussycat then join us for a thoughtful conversation about the profound effect weather has on our lives. They discuss how they use their work to process their own experiences — and how it could help us give us a new perspective on long-standing problems. To hear a livestream of Quintron's Weather Warlock, visit www.weatherfortheblind.org. To learn more about Quintron and Miss Pussycat's work and upcoming tour, visit their website here.

When we talk about climate change, we hear one word all the time: resilient. We use it to talk about everything from our houses, to our power grid, to ourselves. Earlier this spring, we asked our listeners to tell us how you feel about this word. And you blew up our voicemail box. In this episode of Sea Change, we hear your responses. And we ask: how can we address the physical forces of climate change and the broken social systems that make it an even greater threat? We hear stories about efforts from across the Gulf Coast – from storm-proofing homes to creating neighborhood disaster response groups – to help keep people from needing to be resilient in the first place. A special thanks to Rob Verchick, author of The Octopus in the Parking Garage: A Call for Climate Resilience (out now!). And, to everyone who spent time with us for this story, from a construction site in rural Alabama to the streets of New Orleans' Gentilly neighborhood.

Louisiana is home to the country's largest hotspot for toxic air — an industrial corridor nicknamed “Cancer Alley.” More than 150 petrochemical plants line the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Amid the boom, many Black communities live with a disproportionate amount of pollution. But years of protest have begun to bear fruit. We travel the Mississippi River to learn what has allowed the industry to flourish on its banks, see how the tide might turn in one neighborhood's fight for clean air, and ask what's next for a growing environmental justice movement as federal regulators take firmer action.

We love shrimp in the United States. As a country, we eat over 2 billion pounds a year, making it the most consumed seafood in the country. So times should be really good for shrimpers, right? But shrimpers say things have never been worse and that their whole industry here in the United States is on the brink of extinction. This narrative episode goes on a journey from the fishing docks to shrimping in the bayous exploring land loss, climate change, and other issues endangering the future of the Gulf shrimp industry. We also uncover the threats imported shrimp pose to a way of life and human health. Hosted by Carlyle Calhoun and Halle Parker.

With agriculture accounting for 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, it's easy to argue that farmers need to be involved in our work to mitigate and adapt to intensifying climate change. Hot Farm, a new podcast from the Food & Environment Reporting Network hosted by Eve Abrams, travels across the Midwest, learning from farmers about what they're doing, or could be doing, to improve our relationship with the earth and fellow inhabitants.

More than 30 years ago, after a drought wiped out his commodity crops, Dave Bishop changed the way he farmed. It was 1988, the same summer that a scientist named James Hansen told Congress that human activity was causing “global warming,” unofficially launching the climate-change era. While Bishop's neighbors vowed that next year would be better, Bishop decided that he couldn't go on doing the same thing. He started diversifying the crops he grew and replacing chemical fertilizer with manure. Over the next decade he kept asking himself, “What else can I do?” He began selling what he grew directly to consumers—something virtually unheard of in farm country back then. He didn't consider what he was doing a crusade against climate change, but rather a way to break free of a system that was squeezing farmers from both ends—forcing them to grow only a handful of commodity crops and sell those crops to a handful of big buyers who set the prices. In this episode, producer Eve Abrams uses Bishop's story to explore what some farmers in the Midwest are doing to combat climate change—from cover cropping to agroforestry. We need more Dave Bishops if we are going to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions coming from U.S. agriculture. But as Abrams makes clear, change is hard. “Once you have an entrenched system the resistance to change is unbelievable,” Bishop tells her.

Over four episodes, host Eve Abrams and her team travel the Midwest, engaging with farmers who are confronting the difficult reality of climate change—increasingly extreme floods and heat—including those who don't believe they're part of the problem. We also meet the scientists who are developing new crops that are better suited to an unpredictable climate, and the people who are trying to convince farmers and consumers to embrace those crops. And we get a detailed look at one possible future for agriculture in America: As California dries out and heats up, people are asking if other regions of the country can take up the slack. Part 1 coming April 12.

Using audio from her interviews with incarcerated people and their families, Abrams shares the touching stories of those impacted by mass incarceration and calls on us all to take a stand and ensure that the justice system works for everyone.

다큐멘터리 작가 이브 아브람스는 "미국은 세계 어느 나라보다도 많은 사람을 수감하고 있으며 그들 중 1~4% 정도는 무고한 사람입니다. 주로 아프리카계 미국인의 형제, 자매, 어머니, 아버지 등 87,000명이 불필요하게 그들의 삶과 가족에게 분리되어 그들의 꿈까지 저지당하고 있습니다."라고 말합니다. 그녀는 수감자 및 가족들의 인터뷰를 인용하여 대규모 수감에서 영향을 받은 사람들의 감동적인 이야기를 공유하고, 사법 제도가 모두에게 올바르게 적용될 수 있도록 우리가 나서야 한다고 제안합니다.

Estados Unidos encierra a más gente que cualquier otro país del mundo, afirma la documentalista Eve Abrams, y entre un 1 y un 4 % de aquellos que están en la cárcel son inocentes. Eso son 87 000 hermanos, hermanas, madres y padres, principalmente afroamericanos, separados innecesariamente de sus familias, poniendo en espera sus vidas y sus sueños. Utilizando audios de sus entrevistas con gente encarcelada y sus familias, Abrams comparte historias conmovedoras de aquellos a los que les afecta la encarcelación masiva y llama nuestra atención para que le plantemos cara y nos aseguremos de que el sistema judicial funciona para todos.

Os Estados Unidos prendem mais pessoas que qualquer outro país no mundo, segundo a documentarista Eve Abrams e algo entre 1 a 4% parecem ser inocentes. São 87 mil irmãos, irmãs, mães e pais, em sua maioria afro-americanos, desnecessariamente separados de suas famílias, suas vidas e sonhos interrompidos. Usando o áudio de suas entrevistas com pessoas encarceradas e suas famílias, Eve compartilha histórias comoventes daqueles impactados pelo encarceramento em massa e faz um apelo a todos nós para que tomemos um posição para assegurar que o sistema judiciário funcione para todos.

Le taux d'incarcération aux États-Unis est le plus élevé au monde, déclare la documentariste Eve Abrams et environ un à quatre pour cent des personnes incarcérées sont innocentes. Cela représente 87 000 frères, sœurs, mères et pères, en majorité Afro-américains, injustement séparés de leur famille, leur vie et leurs rêves mis en suspend. À l'aide d'interviews de détenus et de leur famille, Eve Abrams partage l'histoire émouvante des personnes touchées par l'incarcération de masse et nous invite à prendre position et à nous assurer que le système judiciaire fonctionne pour tous.

Once you've left home in search of a better life, what might make you return? During the Great Migration, six million African Americans left the South for the North. Donnie “Pen” Travis was one of them. But that was just the start of his journey. In this episode of Gravy, Eve Abrams brings us the story of one man's migration, and how farming prompted both his depature… and his return.

When you grow up in communist Bulgaria there s a few things you have to live without. Kiwifruit for one. And bubble wrap. Even today the remnants of Soviet domination hangs over the country to such an extent that still no bubble wrap is available. That s why NOLA garian Boyanna Trayanova, travels with her own supply of bubble wrap when she travels from her home in NOLA to her birthplace Bulgaria. And good thing she did or she would never be playing the giant drum that she wrapped and lugged back after she ran into Max from New York and his friend s mom hooked her up with the drum after Max s friend in New York saw Boyanna playing it in a Bulgarian field on YouTube and called Max and said "let her have it" or words to that effect . You couldn t make this sht up. And then, get this, back in New Orleans Boyanna, who plays drums for everyone in town and has lived here for a decade, suddenly decides to get all Bulgarian now she s got this giant drum and runs into Georgi who is also Bulgarian and plays jazz guitar and then they stumble into Matt who just moved to town to play accordion with the Panorama Jazz Band and Matt, although 100 American is totally Bulgarian ed out and rides a unicycle. Their band is Mahahla. Talking of bizarre and magical coincidences, how about this one Eve Abrams came to town for the first Mardi Gras after Katrina and her accommodations get kind of screwy so her friend s sister very kindly put her up for a couple of nights and who should also be staying there at the emergency crash pad but this super cute guy who was from here but was then living 1 mile away from Eve in Brooklyn. She s married to him now. And he plays in various NOLA non Bulgarian bands with Boyanna. If you ve read this far, you ve got to be thinking there s no way a bunch of people sitting around a table having a few drinks could top that string of coincidences. Okay, well how about this Geoff Douville, co owner of hipster hang The Lost Love Lounge, has a comedy night on Tuesdays no cover and Georgi from Mahala has never been to it. Even though Georgi hangs out at Lost Love once a week, he s never met Geoff. Andrew Duhon has been in Lost Love frequently and never met Geoff either. And how about this Geoff has been playing in the band Egg Yolk Jubilee for 18 straight years and once had his own podcast with a guy who now lives in DC. Eve is also a teacher, she got her first broadcasting gig at This American Life with a story about her school, and back to Geoff s friend the Department of Education is in DC. The coincidences keep piling up. Right Before the bartender cut everybody off, this motley collection stumbled out of Wayfare into the seemingly never ending daylight. It was the best of Thursdays, it was the hottest of Thursdays... Thank God for Hangover Destroyer. Photos on this page by Douglas Engel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
