In addition to environmental reporting heard on Morning Edition, All Things Considered and other programs, WITF presents two specials for Earth Day:

• Thursday April 22 at 1:00pm – In Deep: The Hidden Story of America’s Troubled Water Infrastructure – When water comes rushing out of the tap, seemingly clear and perfect, it’s easy to think we’ve got it figured out. But in reality, the underground world of pipes and sewers is in trouble. For the past year, our reporters have been doing a deep dive into America’s water infrastructure. What we’ve found is disturbing.
• Friday April 23 at 1:00pm – Witness History – Remarkable stories of the history of the environmental movement, told by the people who were there. Selected from the BBC’s Witness History program, we hear about the major moments that changed our understanding of the planet we live on.

Listen to these special programs on WITF 89.5 & 93.3, through our website or ask your smart speaker to “Play WITF Radio”.

Sometimes, your mornings are just too busy to catch the news beyond a headline or two. Don’t worry. The Morning Agenda has got your back. Each weekday morning, host Tim Lambert will keep you informed, amused, enlightened and up-to-date on what’s happening in central Pennsylvania and the rest of this great commonwealth.
