People travel from all over the world to see California's beautiful redwood forests. But some of these spectacularly tall and long lived trees aren't doing as well as they once were, particularly the ones in urban settings. Reporter Dana Cronin explores what makes these magnificent giants so unique, and why they're facing growing challenges.
This story was reported by Dana Cronin. Bay Curious is made by Olivia Allen-Price, Amanda Font, Christopher Beale and Brendan Willard. Additional support from Cesar Saldana, Jen Chien, Katie Sprenger, Jasmine Garnett, Carly Severn, Jenny Pritchett and Holly Kernan.
When someone dies in Cook County and there’s no one to identify or claim the body, a small army of people from the public and private sectors work to find out who the person is, if they have any relatives or friends, and ultimately give them a dignified burial.

We recorded an interview in a restaurant, none other than Sweetgreen. We interviewed Nathaniel Ru, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of the billion dollar salad chain. Nathaniel tells us about:
Launching a $10/bowl restaurant during a recession
How he used a boombox to drive business
Long-term relationships with local farmers like Firefly Farms (~15 yrs strong)
The new robotic restaurant in a suburb of Chicago
Best of all— his must-try salad “remix” order
On a personal note, these salads were a staple of ours when we worked on Wall Street. We’d chow down on spicy broccoli and arugula, while whipping up takeaways in our early newsletter days. So it was pretty cool when we got to toss our pesto chicken parm bowls mid-interview.

In The Globe: How the Earth Became Round (Reaktion, 2023), Dr. James Hannam presents a history of how we came to know that the earth is round, rather than flat.
The Globe tells the story of humanity's quest to discover the form of the world. Philosophers in ancient Greece deduced the true shape of the Earth in the fourth century BCE; the Romans passed the knowledge to India, and from there it spread to Baghdad and Central Asia. In early medieval Europe, Christians debated the matter but long before the time of Columbus, the Catholic Church had accepted that the Earth is round and not flat. However, it wasn’t until the seventeenth century that Jesuit missionaries finally convinced the Chinese that their traditional square-earth cosmology was mistaken.
An accessible challenge to long-established beliefs about the history of ideas, The Globe shows how the realization that our planet is a sphere deserves to be considered the first great scientific achievement.
This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
We're telling you about what search crews have been hearing near where a Titanic tour group went missing as time for a rescue is running out.
Also, we're talking about a growing debate over ethics in the Supreme Court and the latest report card for how 13-year-olds are doing in school.
Plus, lab-grown meat from animal cells is now allowed to be sold in the United States, population trends are changing in big cities, and this year's NBA draft is especially noteworthy for basketball fans.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito failed to disclose a luxury fishing trip he took in 2008 with hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer and did not recuse himself from later cases involving Singer, according to a new report from ProPublica. Instead of responding to ProPublica’s questions directly, Justice Alito penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal ahead of the report’s publication defending his actions. We’re joined by Leah Litman, professor of law at the University of Michigan and co-host of Crooked’s Strict Scrutiny podcast, to talk about the ethical violations and possible consequences for Justice Alito.
And in headlines: rescuers were in the final, critical hours of searching for the missing tourist submersible near the wreckage of the Titanic Wednesday, a federal judge struck down Arkansas’ ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth, and the Federal Trade Commission is taking Amazon to court.
