NPR's Scott Detrow heroically pairs with the WWNO/WRKF podcast Sea Change to tackle the high-stakes drama of climate-driven coastal erosion in ALASKA and LOUISIANA. Imagine communities wrestling with disappearing shorelines like a bad game of Jenga—except instead of blocks, it’s homes, habitats, and hopeful future plans slipping into the ocean and bayou. The podcast, a beacon of journalism, explores how everyday folks fight back against disappearing land without assuming they own the planet or a crystal ball for climate solutions. It’s like coastal erosion’s version of that friend who moves your stuff just when you get comfortable. Where else can you hear about mother nature’s abrasive hobby narrated with NPR polish? Spoiler: soggy sneakers guaranteed.
