Today, we're sharing the first episode of Safe to Drink, a new podcast series from the Pulitzer Prize-finalist Document team at New Hampshire Public Radio.
When residents of a New Hampshire town discover their drinking water is contaminated with PFAS, chemicals linked to serious health risks, they are told there is no cause for alarm. But as illnesses mount and questions go unanswered, families begin to push back.
Hosted by NHPR climate reporter Mara Hoplamazian, Safe to Drink investigates how environmental contamination is handled when the science is evolving, regulations lag behind, and responsibility is diffuse. Through deep reporting and personal stories, the series examines who bears the burden when systems fail to act.
If you care about accountability, environmental justice, and the people fighting to be heard, this story will feel familiar and urgent.
