Jaha recounts her experiences with The Corridor, from developing the pitch, to hearing the personal stories, to recording the seven episode series. “Each season, Threshold takes listeners on a journey into the heart of a complex environmental story—about a species, a place, an idea, a controversy, or a question—that they think deserves attention. It’s a show as much about relationships as it is about the environment. And relationships are complicated. Threshold steps into that complexity, revealing the challenges and possibilities in our relationship with the planet” (thresholdpodcast.org/about).
