The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in the Gulf of Mexico, was the largest such leak in human history and, naturally, the top news story that summer. And then, come fall, it was over—the leak was plugged up, beaches were cleaned up, and BP pleaded guilty to 14 criminal charges and paid $4 billion in fines and penalties. But that wasn’t the whole story. In the new podcast Ripple, Dan Leone travels to the Gulf Coast to speak with those who experienced the leak firsthand, many of whom are still suffering its consequences. The lies he uncovers are shocking. “Blood was coming out of my nose … my ears. I was bleeding from everywhere,” one man tells him. And it’s not over, a cascade of voices add. —Clara Molot
