It’s our annual “best of” shows this month, when we highlight our favorite segments from the past year. First, producer Diane Hope created this lush sound portrait for the Our Chemical Landscape series. The Wild reveals how animals communicate in harsh climates using chemistry. Next, CHF’s Bob Kenworthy explains how an old manufacturing town in Pennsylvania is attempting to clean up its tainted land from our Asbestos show.
