Coal Tar Contamination Threatens Hudson River Communities
Welcome to the 25th episode of The Catch Up, the podcast from The Daily Catch. In this installment, publisher Walter Mullen and editor Emily Sachar tackle pressing environmental concerns facing Hudson River communities.
The episode centers on a troubling discovery: an oily sheen on the river traced back to toxic coal tar deposits. Environmental reporter Claire Greenburger joins the discussion to unpack the contamination's origins, the obstacles to remediation, and what it means for communities that depend on the river for drinking water.
Beyond environmental reporting, Walter and Emily catch listeners up on developing stories, from the notorious pig incident at the Dutchess County Fair to ongoing legal proceedings involving restaurateur Joseph Dalu.
Produced by Emily Sachar, Walter Mullin, Matty Rosenberg, and Jennifer Hammoud. Edited by Esther Martel at the Radio Free Rhinecilff studio.
