Episode 65 Sources: Deepwater Horizon (Feat. Beyond the Breakers)

In this episode, Paige and Meagan are joined by Tanner and Taylor of the Beyond the Breakers podcast to talk about one of the worst environmental disasters in history – the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Because what’s scarier than an enormous explosion on a deep-sea drilling platform and massive oil spill caused by the “gross negligence” and ” willful misconduct” of one of the largest companies in the world? Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and more.
