#10 Drilled
Ever thought you would hear “true crime” and “climate change” in the same sentence? Well that’s just what Drilled, hosted by award-winning investigative journalist Amy Westervelt (yup, the same person who co-hosts Hot Take), is about. It analyzes the origin stories of climate denial, what it calls “patient zero” in a propaganda war of Big Oil’s quest for profit over planet. Although the outlines of the tale Drilled tells might feel familiar to climate engaged listeners, it delivers in uncovering some important missing pieces in the story that will make it worth your while. The new season kicked off a few weeks ago and dives into the story of Amazon tribes owed $9.5 billion by Chevron for turning their land into the “Amazon’s Chernobyl,” and their lawyer who is now on house arrest as the oil company tries to make an example of him.
