Inside the Newsroom: Crosscut Escapes

Starla Sampaco speaks to Crosscut’s Science & the Environment editor Ted Alvarez and Director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, Harold Tobin about the new podcast Crosscut Escapes and how to better understand nature through sound. They discuss the process of creating the podcast, how listening can help us escape, how worried we should be about “the big one” and how science can enhance the mysteries of nature. They also discuss safety and ethics while out in nature and what we can look forward to in the upcoming season of the podcast. 

Inside the Newsroom is a monthly live virtual interview with Crosscut reporters that offers added detail on breaking news and important perspectives on our ever-changing cultural landscape. From the tumult in City Hall to the complex impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, Inside the Newsroom is a chance to hear directly from journalists on the ground about how these stories come together and to get the backstory on the most important issues affecting our community.
