  • Lefty slant

    The exuding negativity towards conservative thought is palpable. I just wish for a centrist podcast. I guess this ain't it. Buh Buh

  • I like long form

    But you missed it on the NOAA story. The National Weather Service is not NOAA. NWS budgets have long been starved by their parent agency NOAA. NOAA is full of biologists, oceanographers, and bureaucrats - not meteorologists. NWS was understaffed and their funds “administratively taxed” for broader NOAA IT and “workforce services”. Ask for the stats, NWS staffing has been at dangerous lows since 2021 and NOAA largely starved NWS. Again, I beg you to ask the question and not blame Trump. The blam... more

  • 1A Week Roundup used to be much better,

    1A used to be much better and quite good. Then...

    On the Friday week in review show, they replaced the male host, and made the panel predominantly female.

    It is worse. And more narrowly focused.

    Way to be inclusive. No hostile intentions?

    Toxic!!

  • best in the biz

    I’ve been listening to NPR distributions well over a decade thanks to my parents playing it when I was a child. I almost broke with NPR as a whole when they consistently failed to accurately report the genocide occurring in Palestine, but it was this specific pod which kept me in the NPR ecosystem. Jenn White and her cohosts like Todd Zwillich never miss the mark and are so genuine and earnest in their reporting that I end each episode desperate for more- even after the news roundups! They’ve go... more

  • Dept of Education

    The content and people interviewed were so vague about what the dept of education does its no wonder that the Trump Admin has discontinued it. Collect data, yes, but how is this data used - no specific examples. After school programs, yes, but what do these programs do - improve education outcomes or provide baby sitting? Enforce racial justice. , yes, but we already know that Trump doesn’t want to spend money on that. If I were a Trump or a supporter, I’d brush the entire interview off as tri... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Local Spotlight: The Carpet Capital’s Chemical Problem
Q: Dylan, what can you tell us about legal accountability for 3M and DuPont regarding their practices?
3M and DuPont have been the subject of many lawsuits, and the accountability is often seen as lacking, with many residents turning to litigation as their only recourse.
Local Spotlight: The Carpet Capital’s Chemical Problem
Q: Jonathan, as evidence mounted about the dangers of PFAS, what role did the EPA play?
The EPA was slow to move and only placed some limits on two of the original PFAS chemicals, but no serious enforcement occurred until much later.
Local Spotlight: The Carpet Capital’s Chemical Problem
Q: Dylan, tell us what did you find about the awareness of PFAS effects among the carpet companies?
The carpet companies were informed in the late 90s that PFAS were accumulating in people's blood, but this information didn't dissuade them from continuing to use these products for years after.
Local Spotlight: The Carpet Capital’s Chemical Problem
Q: Jonathan, it's important to note that this story isn't just about the carpet mills. What are some of the major companies that showed up in your reporting and what role did they play in this story?
3M and DuPont are the major producers of PFAS used by the carpet mills, and they've provided these products to many downstream users.
Local Spotlight: The Carpet Capital’s Chemical Problem
Q: Dylan, when you first started reporting this story, what was already known about carpet mills effect on the region, and what more did you want to uncover?
There was some good local reporting and some good reporting from our own environmental team, but we wanted to figure out why and how we got to this point.
