This is the story of a dangerous toxin released on our enemy and our own, all the while being lied to by the government. No, we’re not talking about Covid, we’re talking about Agent Orange.

Much of South Vietnam is covered with very thick, dense jungle vegetation. This dense vegetation was used as cover by the forces opposing the United States and South Vietnamese armies. One means of counteracting this tactic was the use of herbicides to kill and defoliate vegetation.

Agent Orange was a powerful herbicide used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War to eliminate forest cover and crops for North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. These chemicals were applied by airplanes, helicopters, trucks, riverboats, and individual backpacks. Three million acres of South Vietnam were sprayed with 50,000 tons of Agent Orange and other herbicides, containing over 500 pounds of dioxin. Because herbicides were used in Vietnam to destroy crops and defoliate jungle cover, the military used higher concentrations of herbicide per unit area than most domestic applications, which are primarily used to prevent weed growth. Dioxin is a by-product of herbicide production and is the focus of veterans’ continuing health concerns today because of its deadly toxicity.

And we knew it all along!

With EP102 we visit the 1990s politics during a food scandal, leading to some key moments in political history. We look at what this crisis was all about, how it physically came to be and take a look at the repercussions, political fallout and the key figures playing a role in it.

The story of Times Beach is not a celebratory one that showcases Route 66.  Instead, the story of Times Beach is one that not may people are familiar with, even 35 years later.

Times Beach was a beach community along the Meramec River that hired the services of a local waste hauler, Russel Bliss, to spread used machinery oil over the dirt roads to keep the dust to a minimum.  It would later be discovered that the recycled oil would contain one of the deadliest compounds known to man, dioxin.

Listen in as host Anthony Arno talks with the final mayor of Times Beach, Marilyn Leistner, as she talks about her role of supervising the complete distruction of a community of 2000 residents and all personal property.

In this forty-seventh episode of the Philosophy Bakes Bread radio show and podcast, we interview Dr. Nancy McHugh on the topic of "Philosophy and Social Change." After the "Know Thyself!" segment, we talk about her recent book, The Limits of Knowledge, inspired by her experiences in Vietnam witnessing continuing victims of Agent Orange. Then, in the next segment, we ask her about her experience teaching in prison in the Inside Out Prison Exchange Program.

Dr. McHugh is Professor and Chair of the philosophy department at Wittenberg University. Before publishing The Limits of Knowledge in 2015, Nancy released Feminist Philosophies A-Z in 2007. Her teaching in the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program is coordinated with the London Correctional Institute in London, Ohio.

Episode 31 - 9/24/17 - Hosts Brian & Britt discuss a little known tragedy at the small town of Times Beach, MO. A tragedy that points to a much larger problem. Drinks for the talk were all from White Elm Brewing Company: Inverted Galaxy IPA, Hibiscus Saison, & Rollo Pale Wheat. Check us out!

The Seveso accident saw an accidental release of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), commonly known as dioxin. Matt Gunther tells the tragic story.
