Broken Ground - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have been listening to Broken Ground for a while now and have enjoyed the interviews with environmental justice activists and lawyers. Season 5 takes the podcast to another level in telling the story of citizens of Memphis in their fight against a oil pipeline and for a healthy community. I couldn’t wait for the next episode each time!

I have listened in the past to the Broken Ground podcasts, but the Boxtown/Byhalia pipeline story is excellent. It incorporated the voices of the participants so well that I felt like I knew them personally by episode 7. The use of true life suspense in aid of the podcast kept me excited about the release of each new chapter.

What a wonderfully produced piece with a truly pertinent discussion about the fragility of so many places due to the threats of climate change and the resistance by many to act in a way that recognizes the reality of it and the destruction it causes. I enjoyed its emphasis on finding solutions such as pivoting to different building materials.

An important and meaningful season! Great storytelling, lots of voices and audio from the community, excellent sound and editing. Worth a listen!
