Hey everybody, Amy Scott here.

I'm the host of How We Survive, and I'm joined by senior producer Caitlin Ash.

Hi.

We are hard at work on the next season,

really looking forward to sharing more with you about that, but we're dropping

into the feed today really to say thank you.

Because it's listeners like you who keep this podcast going and of course your generous donations. And as a thank you

today we're going to give you a little peek behind the curtain and kind of talk about

how we make how we survive and we're going to play you a few stories to show you where your donations are going.

And these are stories that we produced last season, but they may be new to you, podcast

listeners, because they aired in our broadcast shows.

So Amy, last season was all about Miami and how completely out of whack the red-hot real estate market is with the extreme

climate vulnerability of living in South Florida. We spent months reporting on

sea level rise and hurricane risk because as we know the climate crisis makes hurricane stronger and wetter and more destructive and right as we were about to launch the podcast a monster category four hurricane tore through Florida, just north of where

we were reporting.

Talk about how we sprang into action.

Yeah, so we, going into this reporting, we knew that might happen, right?

We were talking about the risk of hurricanes and sea level rise in Florida.

So we actually had a plan. We had talked to a really interesting woman, Karen Clark, who runs

a firm that does catastrophe modeling for insurance companies as part of a later episode.

But we said, hey Karen, if a hurricane hits Miami,

can we come up to Boston and see how you do your work.
