From the Soil: How the Seed Was Planted
b'Northern California is this beautiful piece of land where high mountains, deep valleys, and cold beaches can bring about a sense of peace. At the same time,\\xa0the people who live here are constantly debating the land itself.\\nSo over the past five weeks we decided to focus on stories broadly about life and land in Northern California, as a part of our From The Soil series.\\xa0More specifically, we honed in on what people from communities directly impacted by climate change, polluted soil and the privatization of land are doing to right the wrongs of this piece of earth we call home.\\nAfter racking up over 1,000 miles reporting these audio stories, for the final episode in this series, Rightnowish producer Marisol Medina-Cadena and Rightnowish host Pendarvis Harshaw take a minute to sit down and discuss the behind-the-scenes of making the series. From herds of elk grazing near the 101 south bypass to the prevalence of people walking on freeways, this land tells so many stories, so we figured we\\u2019d share a few more with you all.'
