Dr. Matt Wasson on EarthBeat Radio

Check out our stylin’ Conservation Director Matt Wasson on EarthBeat Radio.

Mike Tidwell hosts Dr. Wasson, along with Patrice Sims of NRDC, Cale Jaffey of Southern Environmental Law Center (the lead attorney on the fight against the Wise County Power Plant), Kathy Selvage of SAMS, and Nick Miroff of the Washington Post who recently penned a fascinating article on pain-killer and drug addiction among miners.

Listen up for the latest news on the national “coal scene”, as well as the specifics of the unneccesary coal-fired power plant in Wise County, VA.

Raised on the banks of the Tennessee River, JW's work to create progress in his home state and throughout Appalachia has been featured on the Rachel Maddow Show, The Daily Kos and Grist. He served first as Appalachian Voices’ Legislative Associate and then Tennessee director until leaving to pursue a career in medicine in 2012.
