Description
In this wide-ranging conversation, Washington Post's Rio de Janeiro Bureau Chief Terrence McCoy joins the show to talk about some of the most pressing issues facing Brazil in its fight for a sustainable future. First, he gives us a breakdown of Brazil's upcoming runoff election for president and how it could dramatically impact climate policy. Then, we discuss McCoy's investigative project into deforestation and destruction in the Amazon and what's driving this massive problem. Finally, McCoy talks about the violent scenes he's encountered reporting in the area and his work investigating the murder of his friend and colleague, Dom Phillips, who was killed alongside Bruno Pereira earlier this year. This is an emotional and impactful hour-long conversation featuring a truly remarkable investigative journalist.
