The journey into lead testing began with a desire to help others identify dangerous substances. Lead testing technology has advanced, making it more accessible to the average person. Lead exposure can have severe impacts on health, particularly in children. Housing, traditional medicines, and contaminated food are primary sources of lead exposure. The Flint water crisis exemplifies systemic failures in public health and safety. Lead poisoning can lead to behavioral changes and mental health issues. Public awareness and education are crucial in combating lead exposure. The conversation emphasizes the need for affordable lead testing solutions. Eric's mission is to empower individuals to protect themselves from lead exposure. Lead levels in drinking water can be extremely toxic. Lead mimics calcium, causing severe health issues. Heavy metals can significantly impair immune function. Lead exposure is linked to increased cardiac risks. Detoxification is essential for health optimization. Environmental awareness is crucial in preventing lead exposure. Calcium plays a vital role in neurological health. The brain's sensitivity makes it vulnerable to toxins. Heavy metals affect every system in the body. Lead exposure has generational impacts on health. Advocacy is crucial for environmental justice and public health. Access to information can empower individuals to make informed choices. Heavy metals in food and water pose significant health risks. Quality control in supplements is essential for consumer safety. Contaminated seaweed can be a hidden source of toxins. Detoxification should focus on removing harmful substances, not adding more. Personal responsibility plays a key role in health and wellness decisions. Understanding the context of heavy metal exposure is important. The emotional weight of environmental issues can be overwhelming. Collaboration and transparency in testing can improve public health outcomes. Do practical stuff that helps, but don't panic. Life's meant to be lived, not lived in fear. If you do a detox program, you can live more freely. Heavy metals can cause gut issues and affect mental health. Zinc deficiency is common in chronic illness. Testing for lead is crucial for safety. The marketplace isn't inherently safe; be cautious. You can learn a lot about health on your own. Detoxing kids early can prevent future health issues. Understanding the gut is essential for overall health.   Summary: In this conversation, Eric Ritter shares his journey from personal experiences with addiction and lead exposure to becoming an advocate for lead testing and awareness. He discusses the importance of understanding lead's impact on health, the technology behind lead testing, and the various sources of lead exposure, including the infamous Flint water crisis. The conversation highlights the need for public awareness and the role of capitalism in both the proliferation of lead and the potential solutions to combat it. In this conversation, Matthew Coffman and Eric Ritter delve into the alarming levels of lead found in drinking water and its severe health implications. They discuss how lead mimics calcium in the body, leading to neurological impairments and cognitive dysfunction.

In this episode, Manny Teodoro, author of The Profits of Distrust, explores the deep connection between trust in tap water and trust in government. He explains how public distrust grows when water systems fail, as seen in the Flint Water Crisis, and how this distrust forces many, particularly low-income and minority communities, to turn to expensive bottled water. Manny emphasizes that restoring trust in public water systems requires governments to take clear and deliberate actions. Transparency is key—governments need to openly share how water is treated and explain the steps taken to ensure safety. Proactively engaging with communities, addressing their concerns, and demonstrating a commitment to improving water quality can break the cycle of distrust. He highlights three essential elements for rebuilding trust: excellence in delivering high-quality and reliable services, openness in sharing transparent information, and equity in ensuring fair access to safe water for all. This conversation highlights how public institutions can rebuild confidence through visible action, fairness, and honest communication, ensuring access to safe and affordable water for everyone.

Jordan Chariton - Founder and CEO of Status Coup, Jordan has been covering stories that corporate media REFUSES to for over a decade.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Jordan Chariton, an independent investigative reporter known for reporting on-the-ground across America on significant stories that often fall through the cracks of mainstream media. Chariton has made twenty reporting trips to Flint since 2016 investigating the water crisis and cover-up. He also covered the indigenous-led protests at Standing Rock in North Dakota against the Dakota Access Pipeline, the United Auto Workers strike across the Midwest, and the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, and he has reported across the US on union drives, worker exploitation, poverty, homelessness, and protest movements. He is the CEO and lead reporter for Status Coup News, an independent news outlet on YouTube. His recent book, We The Poisoned : Exposing the Flint Water Crisis and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans, is the focus of this episode. From crooked Wall Street financial schemes to political payoffs, destruction of evidence, witness tampering, falsified water data, threatened whistleblowers, and panicked phone calls, We the Poisoned: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Cover Up and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans reveals, for the first time, the real story behind how the government poisoned a major American city — and how they are still getting away with it. We the Poisoned is a cautionary tale about “run-government-like-a-business” leaders who champion privatization and economic development at the expense of the environment, public health, and vulnerable citizens. Perhaps even more important, with water and environmental contamination surging across the US, Chariton's revelations provide a road map for how to fight back and prevent similar tragedies from happening to other communities. In this episode host Michael Shields and Jordan Chariton discuss how Jordan originally became compelled to invest so much time and effort covering this multifaceted scandal. They expound upon just how bad the water in Flint was when the source was switched to the Flint River, how the declaration of a financial emergency was used to hijack Democracy in Flint, the utter lack of accountability to those responsible for so much pain and loss, how the Flint scandal is emblematic of many profound problems in America, and so much more.Grab a copy of We the Poisoned here!

Welcome to the Water Quality Association Podcast. Learn more at https://wqa.org. As we mark WQA's 50th anniversary, we feature one of our memorable podcasts from the past several years. We go back to October of 2018 and our conversation with Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the pediatrician who helped bring to light the lead crisis in Flint, Michigan. We talk with Dr. Mona, as she likes to be called, about how she was able to detect the elevated lead levels in the blood of children in Flint, leading her to conclude that the public drinking water was the problem. She talks about the book she wrote about her research and where she's focusing her efforts after Flint. This was an audio-only podcast back then, so no video available. You're invited to connect, inspire and elevate at the 2024 Mid-Year Leadership Conference, Sept 17-19 at a convenient Midwest location near Chicago's O'Hare airport. Don't miss out on this collaborative, strategic conference for the water treatment industry. It won't be the same without you. Learn more and register at https://wqa.org/mylc.

Speaking for Kids host Matt Gillard, president and CEO of Michigan's Children,welcomes participants from Peckham - Flint's recent “Exchange for Change” program,the multi-week roundtable between law enforcement officers and court-involved youths.Over four weeks, seven officers from the Genesee County Sheriff's Department andFlint Police sat down with seven youths enrolled in Peckham's Youth Services Programwith the goal to find ways to “bridge the gap” between the community and police. Theyexplored difficult topics including trauma, implicit bias, policing practices, and individualrights, and discovered a shared desire to improve their home community. In thispodcast, Matt talks with the guests about the impact the Flint Water Crisis had on youthbehavior and the distrust of authority that emerge from that environmental disaster. TheFlint cohort is the third in a series of dialogues that started with meetings between locallaw enforcement and youth enrolled in Peckham's Lansing program since the programlaunched in November 2021. A fourth session is planned in the fall. The program is acollaboration between Peckham and Michigan's Children. Listen to it today.

Flint was once one of the richest cities in the United States. But in the 1980s, it was badly affected by the downturn in car manufacturing and by 2014 it was nearly bankrupt. To save money, the city switched its water supply away from Lake Huron to its own Flint River, but state officials failed to treat the river water properly. As a result lead, a powerful neurotoxin, was released into the drinking water.Despite mounting evidence, officials denied anything was wrong and it took them a year and a half to switch water supply back to Lake Huron. But many residents of Flint –a majority African-American city with high rates of poverty– have been left fearful about the long term impacts on their children.Rob Walker speaks to lifelong Flint resident Jeneyah McDonald who had two young children at the time. He also hears from Dr Mona Hanna-Attisha – a paediatrician and professor of public health– who helped bring the scandal to national attention after showing that lead had found its way into the bloodstreams of the city's children.(Photo: Bottled water donations to help with the Flint Michigan water crisis in 2016.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with writer and labor organizer Mindy Isser to discuss her recent piece in In These Times entitled "In Labor's Mission to Organize the South, Another Domino Could Soon Fall." Then, he speaks with Anna Clark, reporter at ProPublica covering issues in the MidWest, to discuss her recent reporting on the Flint water crisis, 10 years later. First, Sam runs through updates on Biden's continuing arms sales to Israel, Israel's goal of settling the Gaza Strip, Michael Cohen's star turn, US inflation rates, climate change, Maryland's primaries, Trump's corruption, Rudy Giuliani, suits against major corporations, and the 2024 Presidential Debates, also diving into appearances from Vivek Ramaswamy and Mike Johnson at the Trump Trials, featuring some live translation during the latter's speech. Mindy Isser then jumps right into the South's long history of anti-union sentiment and politics, looking at the statistics behind the South's union dearth, and the major driving forces of racism and anti-communism that have shaped the elite-driven attack on organized labor from the Congress of Industrial Organizations' (CIO) “Operation Dixie” in the 1940s through the UAW's ongoing expansion attempt today. After expanding on the role race has played in the recent union-busting attempts at the Vance, Alabama Mercedes plan, Sam and Mindy discuss the recent NLRB ruling that established a system card check lite, and how southern politicians are pushing back against it, before parsing more specifically through what the UAW's success organizing the Chattanooga VW plant meant for a union renaissance in the South, and the hope that remains strong heading into the Vance Mercedes plant vote tally. Next, Anna Clark joins, first walking through the now infamous story of Flint, Michigan's water crisis, which began one decade ago this spring with the horrendously executed switch off of Detroit's Lake Huron water supply, followed by a tremendous display and unaccountability and incompetence from the political leadership of Flint appointed by Governor Snyder. After expanding on the devastating health effects faced by the consumers of Flint's toxic water supply (including a two-year outbreak of legionnaires disease), and the lack of transparency in the face of crisis, Clark looks to the attempts at finding justice for the people of Flint, tackling the state of an ongoing class action lawsuit before wrapping up with the failure of various criminal proceedings, and how Flint is still holding out hope for accountability. And in the Fun Half: Sam talks with Kowalski from Nebraska about getting more votes in a 2024 Nebraska Republican primary than Nikki Haley, and why his stance on immigration (among others) worked in his (albeit brief) campaign, Marjorie Taylor Greene's beef with Mike Johnson continues to stew, and Charlie from the North East has an expansive conversation on gun control. The Biden Administration continues their genocide denial, Tim from Boston has a podcast rec, and Eric Adams has a totally-not-racist idea to solve NYC's lifeguard shortage. Sam from Baltimore discusses his perspective on Maryland's David Trone, and Ronald Raygun challenges Sam on the wokification of comedy.

Are you seeing the headlines about lead poisoning? Maybe you've heard that water bottles contain lead, or that cinnamon in applesauce was poisoning shoppers. Host Faith Salie talked with Dr. Adam Blumenberg to discuss the crucial context for news about lead poisoning.

Originally published in 2019, Benjamin Pauli's book, Flint Fights Back offers lasting insights into one of the most important drinking water-caused public health crises of American history. In this 2024 interview Pauli shares some explanations from the book but also offers his insights, in this year of the 10th anniversary of the Flint Water Crisis, on what is happening in Flint today and what, after all, we have learned from the fight for clean water in Flint, Michigan. -Patricia Houser, New Books in Environmental Studies Host. An account of the Flint water crisis shows that Flint's struggle for safe and affordable water is part of a broader struggle for democracy. When Flint, Michigan, changed its source of municipal water from Lake Huron to the Flint River, Flint residents were repeatedly assured that the water was of the highest quality. At the switchover ceremony, the mayor and other officials performed a celebratory toast, declaring “Here's to Flint!” and downing glasses of freshly treated water. But as we now know, the water coming out of residents' taps harbored a variety of contaminants, including high levels of lead. In Flint Fights Back: Environmental Justice and Democracy in the Flint Water Crisis (MIT Press, 2019), Benjamin Pauli examines the water crisis and the political activism that it inspired, arguing that Flint's struggle for safe and affordable water was part of a broader struggle for democracy.

Here's episode 64 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast! It's great to have author and Pro-Publica reporter Anna Clark back on Left of Lansing this week. Anna's written an insightful article on Michigan's Emergency Manager Law, which allows state government to erase democracy by completely taking-over financially-strapped cities. Anna highlights how despite Michiganders voting to eliminate the law a decade ago, Republicans not only reinstated the law, but ensured voters could never have a say again. Emergency managers were used in Detroit's bankruptcy, and of course, in Flint which led to that city's man-made water crisis.  Please, read Anna's Pro-Publica article, and read her book on the Flint Water Crisis, titled "The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy." To learn more about Anna, and to get a copy of her fantastic book, please visit her site, annaclark.net. My opening monologue celebrates Governor Gretchen Whitmer signing bills that bans convicted domestic abusers from owning guns for eight years. It's another victory for Michigan progressives when it comes to gun safety in the state. And my "Last Call" deals with younger voters, and why they are souring some on President Joe Biden.

My Left of Lansing "Friday Short" covers a sad ending to the Flint Water Crisis, in which not one public official will face prosecution for their role in one of the greatest man-made disasters the state of Michigan, and the country, has ever experienced.  Former Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder won't have to face any kind of punishment for the crisis he and his administration caused. Meanwhile, as Allen Overton, pastor of Flint's Christ Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church told Bridge Magazine: “Injustice, in this community, has been the norm,” “This just continues to show us that this legal system that we call justice is not really justice at all." Nothing could be more true.  People like Rick Snyder can walk between the raindrops, untouched by the same justice we must follow.  It's a tragic ending to a tragic story he and his people caused.  leftoflansing@gmail.com  leftoflansing.com

Amanda kicks the episode sharing why black models have boycotted Melbourne Fashion Week due to instances of racism and underpayment. Amanda introduces a new segment called "Voting and Venting," aiming to address voter apathy in the Black community and restore belief in the political system by providing historical knowledge and current information. She discusses recent headlines, from the reopening of areas in West Maui following wildfires to the end of criminal prosecutions in the Flint Water Crisis, and Magic Johnson becoming a billionaire. In Blackurate News, Amanda highlights Bowie State University's initiative to offer inmates in Maryland the opportunity to earn degrees while incarcerated,  The episode explores Khia's comments on the new class of female rappers, and Seales tests your knowledge with her Black Pop Quiz segment. Listen, Laugh, and Learn with The Amanda Seales Show FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:   (4:07) - Black models boycotted Melbourne Fashion Week due to racism in Australian fashion industry. The models shared that they've seen staff use racial slurs in front of them, and hairdressers are not shy when it comes to making derogatory and degrading comments about their hair. Two models said they discovered they were grossly underpaid compared to their white counterparts.   (7:47) - It's the Amanda Seales Show, I'm Amanda Seales… And now it's time for a segment, we're calling “Voting and Venting."   Voter apathy is a serious issue in the Black community for numerous reasons, like, ya know, voter disenfranchisement! But I personally believe that with more historical knowledge and current information, our belief in the political system can be restored. In this segment, we're gonna vent a little, but also weigh in on some important voting matters with experts.   (11:04) - 60 Second Headlines   Story 1: Today areas of West Maui will reopen to tourism following the deadliest US wildfire in more than a century.   Story 2: More than two months after white boaters attacked a Black riverboat captain in Montgomery, Ala., two of the five people charged in the Alabama Brawl have pleaded guilty.   Story 3: The next installment of National Geographic's GENIUS franchise will focus on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, and how their dueling philosophies helped usher America through the Civil Rights Movement. The eight-part series “Genius: MLK/X” will premiere in February on the National Geographic channel.   Story 4: The Michigan Attorney General's Office is officially ending its pursuit of criminal prosecutions over the Flint Water Crisis after 7 years of no convictions. The Flint prosecution team says the cases are now closed.   Story 5: According to Forbes…Magic Johnson is officially a billionaire, becoming the fourth athlete to earn that title.   (13:35) - We'll go to the phone lines – 1 855 262 6328.   (16:44) - Coming up this hour in Blackurate News: One HBCU is stepping up in the lives of inmates. We'll tell you how. That's not my ministry with Rita Brent plus, today's Big Up/Let Down starring Lauryn Hill and a former NBA basketball player.   (18:30) - Bowie State University is the first HBCU to offer Maryland inmates the opportunity to complete study courses. Students can get their degree while behind bars, all thanks to a partnership between Bowie State and Jessup Correctional Institute. Since the initiative launched this year, seven men who are studying to obtain either a bachelor's degree or Entrepreneurship certificate have completed their first semester.   (21:57) - That's not my ministry with Rita Brent.   (26:00) - Big Up - Goes to Lauryn Hill's fans for sticking beside her! Recently announced she is postponing her Fort Worth Tour Date To “Rest The Voice” due to vocal strain. She's had a history of showing up late to shows and performing for a brief time. Fans continue to buy tickets, support, and root her on. Side note: Beyonce did 50-11 shows domestically and internationally, while being a mom, dancing hard AF, dropping a perfume line, and didn't complain about vocal or body strain. Maybe Lauryn needs to be on her diet OR let the crowd sing the lyrics.   Let Down - To Joe Smith and his wife for doing a live advertisement on Twitter, thinking we wouldn't figure it out! His longtime partner posted a video of him reacting in real time to her saying she has an Only Fans account. She continued to record him despite his visible anger; it all bordered disrespect for the sake of clout.   (29:29) - We'll go to the phone lines.   (31:42) - Coming up this hour… Khia says she isn't like the new rap girls. Letoya Luckett will join us for “Back of the Class”. We'll go Black around the world and we've got a Blop Quiz… Issa Black Pop Quiz that's what it is.   (33:49) - Recently the rapper, Khia, made waves when she had this to say about people comparing her to the new class of female rappers.   (38:16) – Back of the Class w/ Latoya Luckett.   (42:59) – It's a Black Pop Quiz what it is!   (46:49) – We'll go back to the phonelines.   (50:45) – Word of the Day – Eldritch.   (54:53) – Politicians say the darnedest things.   (58:41) – Thanks for listening to The Amanda Seales Show!

Drowning is an epidemic in America. And like so many other public health challenges, it's what happens when we over-privatize a public good. Abdul reflects on the human right of water. Then he speaks with New York Times journalist Mara Gay, author of a recent series on drowning in America.

How To Hold The New York Times Accountable (w/ Margaret Sullivan)Margaret Sullivan is one of the country's most astute media critics. During her time as Public Editor of the New York Times (essentially an ombudsman) Sullivan became widely respected for her willingness to call out the paper's lapses, often to the considerable consternation of her Times colleagues. Sullivan criticized the paper's reliance on anonymous government sources, its practice of allowing sources to approve their own quotes, its previous deference to the Bush administration's "national security" justifications for suppressing a story, its failure to adequately cover the Panama Papers, Chelsea Manning's trial, and the Flint Water Crisis, and even the paper's habit of reporting nonexistent style trends as if they were real things (e.g., the supposed hip comeback of the monocle).Sullivan also spent much of her career in local journalism, serving as the managing editor of the Buffalo News. Her book Ghosting the News: Local Journalism and the Crisis of American Democracy is about the destruction of local newspapers and its consequences for the country. Her new memoir, Newsroom Confidential, discusses both her time running a city paper and her time as an in-house critic of The New York Times.Today, Margaret Sullivan joins to discuss why local news matters, why holding the media accountable is crucial to maintaining public trust in it, and how she tried to keep the New York Times trustworthy during her time there. Sadly, with the Times having eliminated the position Sullivan held, the paper is no longer conducting the same level of public self-scrutiny, which is unlikely to help it in the mission to rebuild public trust. Sullivan's old Public Editor posts can be read here. Those interested in this subject should also listen to our interview with Victor Pickard, the author of Democracy Without Journalism?"I understand very, very well why they wanted to get rid of that position. ... The more powerful a media organization is, the more important some kind of oversight or accountability is." — Margaret Sullivan Audio note: Nathan sat too close to the microphone. Also someone started hammering in the background on Margaret's end toward the end.
