Associate Executive Producers, North Carolina Storms
The hosts thank a series of Associate Executive Producers and grant "Jobs Karma" to several listeners. Dvorak brings up a neglected news item regarding Hurricane Florence in North Carolina: the environmental impact of flooded "hog lagoons." He notes that North Carolina is a major pork producer and expresses concern over the massive amount of pig waste inundated by floodwaters.
North Carolina Flooding, Swine Lagoon Contamination
Hurricane Florence caused massive flooding in North Carolina, resulting in the breach of several swine lagoons. Kemp Burdette, the Cape Fear Riverkeeper, reports that millions of gallons of untreated animal waste have entered the river system. The hosts note that NPR's coverage of the environmental disaster curiously avoids mentioning the overwhelming stench associated with the waste.
Hurricane Florence Media Coverage and Reporting Gaffes

The segment highlights the perceived "dud" nature of the storm relative to the extreme warnings issued by networks.
