This podcast does a wonderful job amplifying the voices of people and communities struggling with environmental inequities. Hearing the voices of individuals’ experiences on how they have been affected and how they have adapted and fought to be heard is a much needed contribution to the environmental justice movement. Thank you! And please keep up the good work!
Moving and well put together. Shocking that suffering from asthma is practically a rite of childhood in the Bronx. The voice of a mom wondering about the health fate of her 3 year old son is heartbreaking as is the grieving for a grandmother who would not otherwise have died except for a community vulnerability to Covid 19.
A podcast like this is long overdue. Not only is it well produced with great storytelling, but it’s very timely. Our environment is collapsing to quickly to fathom and a show like this gives some perspective and empowers me to understand a little more about what’s going on and what we can do about it. The issues are compelling and interconnected.
Living Downstream is one of my favorite podcasts. It gives really interesting and helpful insight about environmental injustices in communities around the world. I like that the reporters actually talk to the people in these communities— the ones most affected by issues. Most episodes focus on minority communities like the Calumet neighborhood in Chicago or the Navajo, etc, which we don’t really hear about.
Overall, I really enjoy and respect this podcast. I can’t wait to hear more!
