Exactly 1 year and 6 months since the release of our first trailer and the show has grown a lot since then! We changed our format, I got a better microphone, but we never updated the trailer. To the long-time listeners, share the new trailer with a friend (or a few!). If you're new here, welcome to The Planet Today.
Checking in with a quick bonus episode to explain the history of today's ruling. This is a supercut of our March 28th episode, where Matt and Giselle went over the U.S. Supreme Court hearing oral arguments that could weaken the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to mitigate climate change.
