The Homance Chronicles

Episode 308: Hoes of History: Rachel Carson


Listen Later

Rachel Carson is the trailblazing marine biologist and author whose groundbreaking work forever changed the way we understand our environment. Best known for her 1962 book Silent Spring, Carson exposed the dangers of pesticides like DDT, catalyzing the modern environmental movement and leading to lasting changes in U.S. law and policy. But her story is about much more than one book.

From her early fascination with the ocean to her tenacity in the face of intense industry backlash, we explore how Rachel Carson’s passion for nature and relentless pursuit of truth shaped not just the scientific community, but the world. Join us as we celebrate the life of a true environmental hero.
