Why did The Post and Courier just send two journalists 5,000 miles away to Africa? For a local story of course. A local story about where our worst hurricanes are born. West Africa is a hurricane nursery, the place where Hugo in 1989 was born. And dust blowing off the Sahara often determines whether a hurricane lives or dies.
Post and Courier journalist Tony Bartelme and photojournalist Andrew Whitaker went there to get the dirt (well, dust). Hear about their trip and interviews with leading West African scientists and more.
Moderated by Watchdog & Public Service Editor Glenn Smith.
