Description

Two episodes ago, we talked about burn pits. In that episode, we called on our listeners to email us if they knew anyone that was around or had been exposed to burn pits. We had no idea we were about to get an email so close to home. Today we have Braydon Griffith, our podcast editor, and co-producer, sharing his personal story of how he lost his father to cancer due to exposure to burn pits. Please listen to this episode and share Braydon's story with as many people as you can. Thank you, poison pals.

A pharmacist and her longtime friend walk into a bar. What emerges is a dotty little science podcast, with a taste for toxicology. Poisons, medical mysteries, political assassinations, healing rituals, environmental disasters, pandemics & more - nothing is off the lab table here. This is the science of storytelling at its finest.
