Summary
Climate change is making hurricanes, floods, and wildfires harder to prepare for just as confidence in the government’s disaster response is collapsing. Our friends at On the Media explore how FEMA became a target of conspiracy theories, political attacks, and a growing crisis of trust. Guests: Eloise Blondiau, senior producer at On The Media; Micah Loewinger, co-host of On the Media For show transcripts, go to vox.com/unxtranscripts For more, go to vox.com/unexplainable And please email us!
