A Word: Flint's Decade of Disappointment
The city of Flint, Michigan made headlines in spring of 2014, after public officials recognized dangerously high lead levels in the water supply. After ten years and three presidents, many African American Flint residents say their health is still being compromised by their water, and civil actions aimed at compensating them have –so far– only enriched lawyers. On today’s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by Adam Mahoney, the climate journalist for Capital B News. They discuss how the water crisis has affected everything from schools, to crime, to housing, and about ongoing efforts to make it right.
Guest: Adam Mahoney, climate reporter for Capital B News

Klantrecensies
Great fun to listen to
I love listening to Dana, Julia and Stephen, whatever their topic is, but fortunately they usually have interesting topics, or make them interesting. I get weak knees when I hear Stephen make snarky comments, or profess his love for obscure French cinema; Dana and Julia will always seize the opportunity to make fun of this. Could not live without it
I did not ask for all the otherstuff. I just wanted Culture gabfest
I like The Culture Gabfest. I don’t always agree with their opinions, but sometimes i do. But just because i subscribe i ended up with a bunch of other podcasts in my feed. And usually i just get rid of them, but today, due to circumstances outside of my control - i ended up listening to about 15 min Thirst Aid Kit. And that is why i am getting rid of the whole Culture podcast thing. If this were white people talking about white culture - they’d be labeled racists multiple times. Not because it is racist. Because it is a mindless expression of plebeian tribalism perfectly acceptable in you kitchen, but forced on me by you assumption that i am just as cowed by the woke wankers as you and incredibly illustrative of how cheep your cultural attitudes are. Please spare me. I am not that white, but what matters here - is that i am guilt free. And therefore outside of your target audience.
