Poison

    Listen

    What’s in your backyard, in your water, in your food? On this episode, we hunt for the hidden poisons and find them everywhere — even in our medical treatments. In Alabama, residents say an expanding landfill threatens their way of life. Out West, we profile a toxic plant that’s killing big game. And a history lesson: a government researcher who intentionally poisoned people to ultimately make our food supply safer.
