“Six stories of rubble. A million stories buried underneath.” That’s the tagline for ‘The City’, a new investigative podcast from USA Today that seeks to tell true stories of how power operates in urban America.Season 1 focuses on a massive illegal dump that sprouted up in North Lawndale in the 1990s and why it took so long for that dump to be dismantled.
