Episode Description

The safety study behind Roundup was ghostwritten by the company that sold it. Harvard's Naomi Oreskes helped get it retracted. Then the president signed an executive order protecting the weedkiller and shielding its makers from lawsuits.

Oreskes returns to The Metro to break it all down with host Robyn Vincent.
