Episode description

As the EPA faces even more cuts, we revisit a conversation earlier this summer with two former EPA Office of Research and Development employees on what they accomplished in the office. Guests: Chris Frey, Associate Dean for Research and Infrastructure, College of Engineering at NC State University and Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta, retired EPA science advisor. And Durham-based jazz vocalist and storyteller Nnenna Freelon's new album, Beneath the Skin, is the first project in her 40-year career that is comprised of completely original songs. She joins Due South in studio to talk about her experience writing and touring her new work. She also performs select songs from the album, accompanied by guitarist Keith Ganz.
