Ep. 1 Climate Change and Ep. 2: Arctic Health

Kathryn interviews Jeff Goodell, author of "The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World". Across the globe, scientists and civilians alike are noticing intense changes in our climate, suggesting that we are moving closer to the brink of broad disaster. Goodell has traveled across 12 countries to report from the front lines, using fact, science, on-the-ground journalism to show scenes from what already is becoming a water world. Kathryn also interviews Thomas Sims MD, author of "On Call in the Arctic: A Doctor's Pursuit of Life, Love, and Miracles in the Alaskan Frontier". Imagine a young doctor in 1972, trained in the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment, suddenly transported back to one of the world's most unforgiving environments—Nome, Alaska. Dr. Sims' memoir reveals the thrills and terrors of frontier medicine, where he had to rely on his instincts to persevere against all odds and help his patients.
