BP Oil Disaster – 6 Months Later, by Terry Tempest Williams
October 19th, 2010
Acclaimed environmental author Terry Tempest Williams joins us to discuss her reporting on the BP oil disaster – and the following cover-up – along America’s Gulf Coast.
Terry spent weeks bearing witness to the devastation that followed the explosion of a deep water oil drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico. In her article for Orion Magazine, Terry shares the stories of people living with the spill’s toxic effects, and trying to make a living in a part of America that many would like to forget.
Terry shares these stories with Earthbeat host Daphne Wysham for the entire hour of this broadcast.
