Ripple

by American Public Media

The largest oil spill in American history captivated the public's attention for the entire summer of 2010. Authorities told a story of a herculean response effort that made shorelines safe and avoided a worst case scenario. Was that really the whole picture? From Western Sound and APM Studios, Ripple is a new series investigating the stories we were told were over. In Season One, we travel hundreds of miles across the Gulf Coast to learn the ongoing effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill - which are still impacting many coastal residents more than a decade later.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This reporting and storytelling was an honor to listen to. Incredibly engaging and informative. The story is maddening for so many reasons, but the reporters, experts, and people who experienced the spill went above and beyond to explore and share it.

The BP oil spill became quickly an out of sight out of mind thing for a lot of people but it is still real for a lot of people. This podcast is wonderful to provide the first hand experience of those affected by the oil spill. It’s the behind the scenes that wasn’t/isn’t shared. It is engaging and so well put together.

I am on the third episode and I can’t stop listening. Not only is this an important story that hasn’t been told, but the storytelling style is tremendous. I’m shocked at the level of callousness towards the people affected. Thank you for telling their story.

Ripple fills us in on the details of the BP Oil Spill and the consequences that have not been widely reported. This true story is disturbingly similar to other chemical company cases like the radium girls, that one would think couldn’t possibly happen in the 21st century. Thank you for sharing this important story.
