Jump on the rollercoaster of being an environmental reporter.
The Chicago Tribune’s Michael Hawthorne joins Stuart and Megan to talk drinking water, PFAS, petroleum coke, microplastics, what it’s like to have Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vetter talk about one of your articles, and how sometimes, yes, sometimes journalists’ work leads to positive change for Great Lakes communities and environments. Also, there’s one fart joke and some good conversation about the excellent fried seafood at Calumet Fisheries.
