Hi, podcast listeners, I'm Vanessa.

And I'm Greg.

In honor of Earth Day, all of the podcast is bringing you a special event called Dark Green

Earth Crimes and Conspiracies.

For this event, we're investigating the shadowy corners where crime and the environment meet

and telling those stories.

Because climate change isn't just about science and the weather, it shows up in all parts

of society and culture, even crime.

Did you know, for example, about the strange circumstances surrounding the 1974 death

Hikers and national forests?

Or did you know about the many environmental activists who go missing?

To hear these stories and more come along with us for a different kind of Earth Day celebration
