‘Unprepared, Part One: Hurricane Helene’s Deadly Warning’ (from NPR’s Up First)

From The Sunday Story on NPR’s Up First, hosted by Ayesha Rascoe. NPR correspondent Laura Sullivan examines how the nation is failing to rebuild after major storms in a way that will protect them from the next one.

Despite billions in federal aid, outdated policies, weak building codes, and political resistance are putting lives and homes at continued risk. This episode was produced by Graham Smith and Andrew Mambo. It was edited by Jenny Schmidt and Robert Little. Kwesi Lee mastered the episode. This series was co-reported with NPR and FRONTLINE, Jonathan Schienberg, Kate McCormick, Dana Ervin, Lauren Ezell Kinlaw and Refael Kubersky.

Good production value, strong reporting. While every media outlet has a bias (this one clearly leans left of center for U.S. audiences) the reporting is fact-based. Good journalism.
Well done!

I’m a longtime listener but I get incredibly frustrated when I have to constantly adjust my volume. The problem has a considerable impact on the quality of the podcast quality. Great stories that are poorly engineered.
