140. The Ghost Town (Times Beach, Missouri)

I wasn’t old enough to truly care/or know what to do about love canal! But I am from the granite state where seabrook nuclear plant was built. I feel that no amount of demonstration would have mattered. So the lesson is: Who NEEDS ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS ANYHOW! A nuke plant at the beach?! Sure! Slew agent orange all over the place? Sure. We just never learn! THANKS CC, from ALL Concerned Citizens! Keep spreading the word in every thing u do! WE NEED TO KNOW-and yes, politics IS DAMNED

Grew up in Missouri and raised my kids there. How did I never hear about this??! Thankfully I live in California now where nothing environmentally concerning ever happens and we have PG&E to make sure 👍

Unbelievable! Thanks for the great reporting!!

Lots of conservative bullshit in this one and they haven't learned at all

Listening to the opening story appalled…only to process this is just the intro 😭

Wow these people our government. When r we gonna take seriously we the people n stop letting them devide n conquer us for their gain

Thanks, ACC. Toxins harming people and animals always upsets me, but I'm glad it's being discussed. Also, glad you're dedicated to improving your audio.

Thank you for this episode ACC! As someone who studied environmental engineering I found it very moving. Those poor people. Btw for anyone wondering, if the incinerator burned high enough and/or if catalyst was used at lower temperatures the dioxin wouldn’t have been released back into the air. Although there’s also the catch of reformation of the dioxin chain when cooling down.

I was born pre-loaded with a bunch of birth defects and health problems, and since I live within tripping distance of a refinery and rely on Sam's Club soda to survive, I'm sure I'm gonna go from some interesting new shape of cancer. But if something in the air made my dog sick I'd be out in the garage welding myself into the Killdozer before you could fukken blink.

Fucking dioxin...I swear it's always dioxin.

LFG

There's certain podcasts I listen to during the day while I'm at work you know light-hearted stuff like true crime but I start listening to this episode and I thought to myself here we go it's a concerned citizen episode so you know what it's about and sure enough 10 minutes saying I had to turn it off wait till I get home cuz I couldn't listen to it now these people are on real

Yayyyyy. What an interesting story. I also wondered if the incinerator would just send the dioxin into the air.

Thanks, ACC
