Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - New App Helps Chatham Residents Dealing With Flooding

Chicago and Cook County received more than $670 million in federal relief funding earlier this month for flooding caused by record storms in 2023 and 2024. The flooding caused damage in tens of thousands of homes in Cook County as homeowners filed for flood assistance. But few neighborhoods got hit as hard as Chicago’s Chatham on the South Side. Now, UChicago fourth-year Ph.D. student Kelly Wagman is leading a project and app design to help Chatham homeowners dealing with flooding in their neighborhoods. Reset spoke with Wagman as well as Nedra Sims-Fears, the executive director of Greater Chatham Initiative, to learn more. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Though thousands of Palestinians are going back to northern Gaza, rebuilding their lives and homes will take years. Just a week into the ceasefire, our correspondent says peace already looks fragile. Why Russian drones are being targeted at civilians in Kherson (9:44). And would game theory help you win “The Traitors” (15:28)?

Start the Week - Climate Crisis: truth, lies and compromise

Every year world leaders gather at the United Nation’s COP (the Conference of Parties) to discuss how to work together on solutions to tackle climate change. And every year the wrangling lasts into the night as it becomes clear how difficult it is to achieve consensus. In Kyoto the playwrights Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson have recreated the drama, intrigue and power plays that resulted in one of COP’s greatest successes, the Kyoto Protocol from 1997. Kyoto is on at the Soho Place Theatre until May 2025.

Professor Mike Berners-Lee is an expert on the impact and footprint of carbon and has watched as countries see-saw on commitments to reduce the use of fossil fuels. In his latest book, A Climate of Truth he argues that we already have the technology to combat many of the problems, but what we’re lacking is the honesty – in our politics, our media, and our businesses – to make a real difference.

But how to save the planet is not necessarily straightforward. In The Shetland Way: Community and Climate Crisis on my Father’s Islands, Marianne Brown returns home after the death of her father. She finds the islanders at loggerheads over the construction of a huge windfarm: while some celebrate the production of sustainable energy, others argue the costs are too high for the environment and local wildlife.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Acoustic Kitty and Other Crazy CIA Plots

Since its creation, the Central Intelligence Agency has been tasked with gathering intelligence on foreign adversarial governments. 

Exactly how they were to go about doing this was not exactly spelled out in advance. 

This gave them an enormous amount of leeway and creativity in how to go about their mission. Some of their ideas were truly inspired, and others were, how shall we say, odd. 

Learn more about the Acoustic Kitty and other crazy CIA plots on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
