We'll hear part one of a documentary called Heavy Weather, produced by freelancer Barbara Bernstein.  She'll explore the connections between the increase in extreme weather and our changing climate and landscapes. 

‘Heavy Weather' was written, narrated and produced by Barbara Bernstein and is a production of the Media Project and Feather & Fin Productions.  Barbara Bernstein and her program, ‘Heavy Weather' were provided funding by the Regional Arts and Culture Council, the Oregon Council for the Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Ralph Smith Foundation
