Ripple - No Spoilers!

This investigative podcasts starts out with a question - how well do you remember the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill that devastated the American Gulf Coast in 2010? It was all over the news, and then..it wasn’t. The lies and denial that plagued the disaster and still haunt the region to this day are the subjects of this stunningly well done podcast. From APM and Western Sound, this series goes all the way back to the initial events and the decisions that would have decades long consequences to ask if the enormous clean up efforts and restorations we saw plastered on our televisions was the tidy conclusion we all thought it was and how can it be possible to put a price on justice when health and the environment are priceless? Made up of thoughtful and encompassing reporting, this gut wrenching reexamination of the events is hosted by Dan Leone and told with help from those who lived through the disaster. It was published as eight episodes that were all about an hour long. The show itself seems to be set up to have more seasons on other topics but for now just has the first season on Deepwater Horizon. The show has 4.9 stars from 362 reviews and was compared to likes of Serial by many. Transcripts are available if needed on the pod’s website. Trigger warnings for grave health conditions, injuries, and death.
