  • Massive Piles of Petroleum Coke

    Massive Piles of Petroleum Coke
    Jan 14 2025

    Jump on the rollercoaster of being an environmental reporter.


    The Chicago Tribune’s Michael Hawthorne joins Stuart and Megan to talk drinking water, PFAS, petroleum coke, microplastics, what it’s like to have Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vetter talk about one of your articles, and how sometimes, yes, sometimes journalists’ work leads to positive change for Great Lakes communities and environments. Also, there’s one fart joke and some good conversation about the excellent fried seafood at Calumet Fisheries.
