Listen to John Maas' Story on the RIPPLE Podcast

PEABODY AWARD NOMINATED Ripple is an investigative podcast that returns to the scene of major events and discovers the long-term impacts that have been raging, unnoticed, for years - or decades.

The largest oil spill in American history captivated the public's attention for the entire summer of 2010. Authorities told a story of a herculean response effort that made shorelines safe and avoided a worst case scenario. Was that really the whole picture?


Ripple is a new series investigating the stories we were told were over.

In Season One, we travel hundreds of miles across the Gulf Coast to learn the ongoing effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill - which are still impacting many coastal residents more than a decade later.
