The Broadside

The ballad and the flood


Listen Later

This week, we visit the small town of Marshall in western North Carolina, a region ravaged by Hurricane Helene earlier this year.

But this story isn’t about the storm or climate change or the walls of water that rushed through the Black Mountains in September. It’s about what happened after. How people create systems to help each other. And how the best aspects of humanity can shine in the wake of a disaster.

This episode comes to us from Outside/In. Produced by our friends at New Hampshire Public Radio, it’s a podcast where curiosity and the natural world collide.
