Welcome to Reel Talk Real Talk about Your Environment

Getting clear, reliable information about environmental issues can feel like navigating rough waters. On one end, there’s the science—rich with insights but often packed with jargon that makes it tough to understand without a Ph.D. On the other, there’s a flood of online info, where bias, spin, and even conspiracy theories can cloud the truth.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to have a source that cuts through both the overly technical and the outright confusing, bringing you real, actionable information about what’s happening in your backyard—and what you can do about it?

Look no further! Join the Save Barnegat Bay team every other Tuesday for our podcast, Reel Talk (previously called “Drift: A Podcast”). Each episode, we reel in the latest updates from around the bay, break down what it means for you, and share ways you can make a real difference in the health of the watershed. Be sure to catch our fan-favorite “Bay Bytes” segment, where we share the week’s most compelling stories.
