Anaheim investigator Julissa Trapp is not like other detectives. She’s the only woman on the homicide squad, and a skilled chameleon: undercover cop in vice stings, crime-scene commander, patient confidante of killers. A master interrogator, she invokes her personal experience as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Listen at Wondery.fm/TrappDrill

The County of Honolulu voted last night to file suit against the nation's largest oil companies for their role in delaying action on climate, and their share of the resultant climate adaptation costs. We talk to the County of Honolulu's Chief Resilience Officer Josh Stanbro about what climate impacts look like in Hawaii right now, and how independence from fossil fuels fits into Hawaii's pre-colonial history.  Become a member: https://drilled.supportingcast.fm/

Storytelling may seem less important than science or policy, but we've known for decades that acting on climate is more a matter of will than knowledge. And the way we tell the story of climate change, who gets to tell the story, has everything to do with that. In this crossover episode with the No Place Like Home podcast, we talk to great climate storytellers about getting it right.

For some reason, the oceans are often left out of discussions about climate change, unless we're talking about them rising. Marine biologist Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson has co-authored a policy approach that places oceans at the center of the conversation. Here she lays out the Blue New Deal (https://www.dataforprogress.org/memos/blue-jobs), and why it's not just right but valuable to include a diversity of voices in the climate conversation.  Join Drilled Premium: https://drilled.supportingcast.fm/

Fossil fuel industry influence campaigns ensured that we lost a critical 30 years not taking action on climate change. But all is not lost. The technology to address climate change exists, and if there's one thing history teaches us about America it's that radical social change is entirely possible here.  Join Drilled Premium: https://drilled.supportingcast.fm/

The fossil fuel industry's decades-long information war was so successful that even though oil companies themselves began publicly accepting climate science years ago, the public remains skeptical. Industry campaigns were so successful they've now landed oil companies in court, facing multiple suits attempting to hold them accountable for the damages inflicted by unchecked climate change.  Join Drilled Premium: https://drilled.supportingcast.fm/

If you unravel climate policy back to its origins, eventually you get to academic research. Although oil companies dramatically reduced their own scientific research on climate in the 1990s, by the early 2000s they began funding research centers at prestigious universities throughout the country, subtly shaping the research that any eventual policy would be based upon.
