Page: Feed: --- ## [Arctic Dispatch | Trimble Gilbert](http://www.thresholdpodcast.org/) _2026-08-18 · Threshold_ Right now, the Trump Administration is pushing hard to drill for oil and gas in places that were previously off-limits. One of those places is the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and in June, the administration took another step forward in the process of opening this enormous protected area for drilling. Season 3 of Threshold is actually all about this controversy: it’s called The Refuge, and… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/25be55fa-21a0-43b4-9839-d7e9a1b31087.mp3) ## [The Corridor | 7 | The Future](http://www.thresholdpodcast.org/) _2026-07-14 · Threshold_ We’ve been telling the story of the petrochemical industry in Louisiana, but this isn’t just a Louisiana issue, or even just an American one - petrochemicals are a global industry with a global impact. In this episode, we think about our collective future, and how we might begin to navigate living with all this plastic. Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced. You… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/2b1c12d3-ce42-40e6-8957-8c07f6f1bb45.mp3) ## [The Corridor | 6 | Justice Denied](http://www.thresholdpodcast.org/) _2026-07-07 · Threshold_ For decades, the residents of St. John the Baptist Parish breathed in toxic chemicals from a massive complex that makes neoprene - a synthetic rubber. But while residents suspected something was wrong, they were still shocked when the EPA told them they had the highest risk of cancer in the nation. Why were they just now being warned? And what was the government going to do about it? In this… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/8885163c-5d0d-4114-816f-164fa6c3d332.mp3) ## [The Corridor | 5 | You’ve Got To Fight](http://www.thresholdpodcast.org/) _2026-06-30 · Threshold_ People have objected to the toxic side effects of industry in Louisiana and across the country for a long time. A swell of activism in the 70s and 80s connected civil rights with environmental issues and public health, so that by the 1990s, it seemed like the nation was entering an environmental justice renaissance. And yet, low income and minority communities have remained at risk. In this… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/59edfc5e-b9ab-4aaa-8601-d309632683aa.mp3) ## [The Corridor | 4 | What Can Be Measured Can Be Changed](http://www.thresholdpodcast.org/) _2026-06-23 · Threshold_ We know that many of the chemicals being released by plants in the corridor can cause cancer. We also know that the cancer risk along this stretch of the Mississippi is unusually high. But how do we know for sure that these things are connected? In this episode, we explore what we know about pollution and disease. Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced.

This transition wasn’t a coincidence. The history of industry intersects with the history of race in Louisiana all the way up to the present day. In this episode, we look at how and why petrochemicals came to the corridor. Threshold is nonprofit,… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/c3686730-ca0e-45f2-8b05-95c8af99b79c.mp3) ## [The Corridor | 2 | Sugar Is Made with Blood](http://www.thresholdpodcast.org/) _2026-06-09 · Threshold_ Before gas, oil, and benzene, there was sugar. This is the story of the first industry that exploited people in the Corridor, an industry that brought the ancestors of today’s residents to the area and laid the foundations for the modern petrochemical industry.

Petrochemicals are made from fossil fuels. We use them to make a huge range of synthetic materials that are found in almost every part of our daily lives — but petrochemicals are made where people live. Here, amidst houses, schools, and churches, more than… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/0e92345d-92cc-49bc-8fb0-25faff8895fb.mp3) ## [The Corridor | Preview](http://www.thresholdpodcast.org/) _2026-05-26 · Threshold_ Coming Tuesday, June 2nd: A podcast about history, pollution, and resistance on the frontlines of America’s petrochemical industry.

Last summer its capital, Tehran, came very close to “day zero,” the day when the whole city runs out of drinking water. Now, with the United States at war with Iran, President Donald Trump has further threatened the country’s civilian water infrastructure, including dams, water treatment plants, and the electrical… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/6676323d-4d58-4265-9462-cbd728f166e8.mp3) ## [Make any domain metal (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/S0USdrQzqhb5) _2026-05-19 · **Sponsored**_ Turn any domain into a blacked-out metal landing page with an email waitlist ## [The Blackboard Jungle: A Solo-pod, Daddy-O](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hark87podcast/episodes/The-Blackboard-Jungle-A-Solo-pod--Daddy-O-e3jgebi) _2026-05-17 · hark87podcast · Hark!

The 87th Precinct Podcast_ Hark! It's an 87th Precinct podcast. Well, it's been a while (42 months or so, as of release of this) so we thought it high (not low) time we got back together. Luckily Spike Lee thought to adapt Kurosawa's High and Low into his 2025 film Highest 2 Lowest and so how could we resist this opportunity?
