Documentary · Cincinnati Public Radio
by Cincinnati Public Radio
There's something wrong with the plumbing in Cincinnati. Sewage is bubbling up in our basements and pouring into our waterways. Climate change is making it worse, and the powers that be can't seem to agree on how to fix it. Backed Up is a podcast that demystifies one of the most complex systems of public infrastructure — our sewers — and tells the stories of the people suffering under decades of mismanagement. Your hosts are Becca Costello, local government reporter for WVXU, and Ella Rowen, podcast coordinator for WVXU's parent company, Cincinnati Public Radio. All information can be found at wvxu.org/backedup.

This podcast was an entertaining deep dive into this confusing and wonky/technical space. Demonstrates the power of public media to shine an extended light on topics that elude easy synopsis (eg avoided by commercial outlets). Thank you from a now-informed neighbor!
I’m a civil engineer and have worked on the public and private side of CSO management on a consent decree CSO program for a major west coast city. This show is an honest portrayal of the challenges, technical and political, in that space. I really enjoyed hearing someone else describe my world!
