This week: Toms River was just like any other small town in America except that children were dying at very high rates. In honor of Earth Day, With Good Reason speaks with Pulitzer Prize winning writer Dan Fagin, whose 2013 book, "Tom's River: A Story of Science and Salvation" tells the story of how that small town fought against the pollution and the polluters killing their children. Later on, Meet Marc Edwards the professor who helped uncover the water crises in Flint, Michigan and has now been charged with fixing it. And growing up in Appalachia, Maddison Couch noticed an unusual number of thyroid disorders in her community. As a student at she discovered new information suggesting that these disorders weren't inherited; they're caused by coal. Produced by Lilia Fuquen.
