On July 16, Drilled, one of the first podcasts about climate change, returns with its sixth season, "Bridge to Nowhere," investigating the rise of the natural gas industry.

As host and veteran climate journalist Amy Westervelt explains in the new trailer, "A few years ago, I started to see an explosion in disposable plastic. This was even before the pandemic brought more of it into our lives. It seemed…weird. And it reminded me of what had happened with climate change, where a big environmental problem seemed like it was being addressed, but then suddenly everything shifted. When I looked into it I found...fracking."

Broken into three parts, "Bridge to Nowhere" will explain why a Taiwanese petrochemical company set up shop in the American South, how a shrimp boat captain won the largest civil environmental settlement ever, and a whole lot more.
