Among the effects of a changing climate are health risks — including to outdoor workers, unhoused people and the elderly. But one imperiled group that has received less attention is pregnant women. A new joint investigation by Jacksonville-based digital news outlet The Tributary and Climate Central explores the ways rising temperatures are already affecting pregnancies, putting undue stress on both fetus and mother, and in some cases leading to hospital visits and low birth weight. We talk to the reporter behind the story along with a local obstetrician about what moms-to-be need to know.

Guest:

• Mary Beech, investigative reporting fellow at The Tributary.
• Melba Newsome, reporter, Climate Central.
• Dr. Lina Fouad, founder and medical director of OBGYN Specialists of North Florida.

Then, the No. 1 Airbnb in Florida grew out of a Hurricane Irma disaster story. After the storm sent a tree through a two-story house on Prince Road in St. Augustine, the owner began an odyssey of rebuilding — using nine shipping containers. The ambitious, meticulously designed home has since become a darling of the internet and a popular (though not inexpensive) short-term rental. Recently, it was selected Florida’s No. 1 favorite Airbnb and No. 9 in the country. It was also one of 50 destinations featured on YouTubers Ryan Trahan and Haley Pham’s Instagram tour to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We ask the owner about the ride from catastrophe to celebrity, as well as his extensive art collection.

Guest:

• Rob DePiazza, owner of Prince Road Container House.

And, from greeting card aisles to Off-Broadway theater, Dan Goggin transformed his skills writing short but emotive messages into a musical comedy tour de force. Nunsense is the story of quirky and quick-witted nuns, the Little Sisters of Hoboken, who stage a talent show to raise money to bury their recently departed sisters, victims of food poisoning. Hilarity ensues. Performances kick off Friday and run through Oct. 5 at Limelight Theatre.

Guests:

• Charity Walton, actress playing Sister Mary Leo.
• Kaylee Byers, actress playing Sister Mary Amnesia.
