  • Excellent podcast that opened my eyes to an important and undercovered issue

    I thought the podcast was beautifully delivered, with an investigative depth and seriousness of reporting, but also a relatable and unpretentious delivery. I’m now quite interested in learning more about superfund sites in New Jersey and how they are being affected by climate change and the passage of time.

  • Very Informative

    I didn’t know much about New Jersey and I had never heard of the Superfund program until my daughter, the host of “Hazard NJ,” started this podcast. I recommend everyone listen to “Hazard NJ.”
