Episode 9: Our second special

WSHU

We did it again! Higher Ground aired another one-hour special program distributed nationally by American Public Media from January to May 2023.

The one-hour broadcast special is based on the second season of WSHU’s podcast on climate change. For the second consecutive year, more than 100 stations in 20 states ran the special!

Join co-hosts J.D. Allen and Sabrina Garone working with a team of student scientists as they come to grips with the global crisis in Connecticut’s largest city. The students think they know something about global warming, but, together from the classroom to the outdoors, we will brainstorm changes to improve their community.


Support from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as part of the Next Gen Public Media Accelerator program.

This season was produced in partnership with the Discovery Science Center and Planetarium.

A native Long Islander, J.D. is WSHU's managing editor. He also hosts the climate podcast Higher Ground. J.D. reports for public radio stations across the Northeast, is a journalism educator and proud SPJ member.
Sabrina is host and producer of WSHU’s daily podcast After All Things. She also produces the climate podcast Higher Ground and other long-form news and music programs at the station. Sabrina spent two years as a WSHU fellow, working as a reporter and assisting with production of The Full Story.
