In 2021, Sandy interviewed environmental attorney Robert Bilott. Bilott helped lead the first litigation in the country against the 3M Company for PFAS contamination in Minnesota, and worked to raise awareness of the threat to public health and the environment from PFAS “forever chemicals” for over two decades. On June 22, 2023, a settlement valued up to $12.5B was announced with the 3M Company to address contamination of U.S. public drinking water supplies with PFAS. In commemoration of this victory and great effort undertaken by Bilott, Beat the Big Guys will be releasing a remastered version of his interview as our 72nd episode.
