The "Hazard NJ" podcast has been one of the most personal projects I've done. I was inspired by my experiences with hazardous sites in my hometown in Texas. I still believe this exposure contributed to my chronic health conditions as a kid.
On the season finale of "Hazard NJ," journalist @jgasspoore explains how “forever chemicals” became a ubiquitous part of consumer products, thus allowing them to persist in the environment indefinitely.

It was 1938 at a DuPont lab in South Jersey when scientists stumbled upon the chemical that would become known as Teflon. The accidental discovery became a scientific miracle, but that progress came with a toxic hidden cost that has only recently become fully understood.
We have a banger of a second season coming out soon of the #hazardnj podcast. This one's for those who've thought twice about drinking their coffee with a plastic straw, the horror fans, and everyone with #PFAS in their blood (which is you).

The loss of Tony Todd is a monumental loss for the horror world. One of the all-time greats. We say it a lot. Horror icon. Horror legend. He embodied all of that. Made every movie he was in better. A staple of the convention scene. A true member of this horror family. Deeply sad.
In Episode 2, Kim Kelly (@GrimKim), journalist and author of the book Fight Like Hell, describes how the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire's legacy continues to inspire workers to organize and advocate for safer working conditions.
