Podcast Episode: From Basra to Brooklyn via Tunis

Posted by the University of Pittsburgh:

We’re going to make a bold claim today. We think our latest podcast episode covers a wider range of geographies and ecologies than anything you’re likely to listen to any time soon. From the marshes of southern Iraq, to a limestone quarry in Tunisia, to a small Sicilian village to Ditmars Park in Brooklyn and the building of the New York City Subway and the Statue of Liberty…. Our guest somehow connects it all (with a little help from Brian and his encyclopedic knowledge of limestone).
