You're listening to Radiotopia presents from PRX's Radiotopia.

Before we start today's show, we want to shout out another show in the Radiotopia family, Radio Diaries. a on history and beyond. A year after the release of their series The Unmarked Graveyard,

they're back with a slate of new stories this summer and fall. Their new mini series, Making Waves,

will explore the rise of Talk radio in America with stories about four

little-known controversial broadcasters who change the airwaves. You'll also hear

stories about the US Navy's mission to get humans to live in the ocean, a group that led to the rise of American conspiracy theories, and a woman who was part of the greatest climate migration in American history.

More than eight decades ago, her family fled Arkansas in the wake of the

Dust Bowl to find a better life in California. Here's a clip from that story.

Plenty of work for everybody, places to live, plenty of fruit and vegetables and all this stuff. But that wasn't true.

The New Yorker calls Radio Diaries a venerable and remarkable audio documentary project.

No, no, no, no.

What is yours like?
