In this episode we bring you a conversation with climate and religion reporter Ash Sanders about where her two beats intersect. Then we showcase a preview of Unfinished: Short Creek, the latest investigative true crime podcast from Witness Docs and Critical Frequency.

A divided community in the desert. A prophet with total power. A battle over family, home, and the limits of religious freedom. Short Creek, located on the Utah/Arizona border, is home to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a break-off from the Mormon church that practices polygamy. Since their leader, Warren Jeffs, was sentenced to life in prison in 2007, the people of Short Creek have been forced to reckon with their painful past, and struggle to define their future.
