Description

Exploring the hidden systems behind everything we throw away. Because the real waste crisis isn’t coming from your trash bin, but far upstream.

Journalist Matt King speaks with a new expert every episode to unearth the biggest messes industry has left behind, and how people are fighting back. From toxic disasters and worker takeovers to abandoned landscapes, these conversations use waste as a window into power, race, money, and design.

New episodes every other week. No consumer guilt trips.
