On the fourth episode of Technology's Storyteller's, host Bucky Stanton talks with Dr. Sara Pritchard about clearer skies resulting from COVID-19's slowing down of industrial society. Dr. Pritchard further discusses the historical processes which led to a atmosphere full of pollutants and a night sky with reduced visibility from light pollution. Dr. Pritchard also discusses her conceptual lens of "envirotechnical" and its uses. She then closes the interview with a plea for avoiding the pitfalls of environmentalism and seeing the COVID pandemic's effect on the environment through discourses of environmental justice instead.

Technology's Storytellers is a podcast developed by the Society for the History of Technology to explore present issues through the lens of the history of technology.
