Ep. 74 Deepwater Horizon at Fifteen

On today's show we sit down with Leigh Fondakowski, the playwright behind the documentary theatre show SPILL. SPILL recounts the events leading up to, and following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Moody Center for the Arts, at Rice University, will be mounting a production of the show April 11th and 12. We revisit that moment and discuss how the world has changed in the wake of the largest oil spill in global history. Later in the hour, our researcher Jadyn has a piece on lead poisoning as an environmental concern.
