    Frog Spotting in the Western Ghats

     The Intersection, Episode 2
    Jun 27 2019

    In 2014, 41 new species of frogs were discovered: not in the world, not in India, but in the western ghats alone! What explains this astonishing, incredible diversity on one hill-range? The Intersection shines a torch on the vivid stories that stretch from the ancient planet to modern scientists who spend twilight, often in the rain, tramping through forests and grasslands, listening for frogs.

    The Science and Sorrow of Nepal's Earthquake

     The Intersection, Episode 3
    Jun 27 2019

    Late on the morning of April 25, Sujoy Das stood in a painter's studio in Lo Manthang, high up in the Himalayas, and noticed that the cups of paint were beginning to shake. This week, The Intersection recounts Das' story from the horrific Nepal earthquake, which left thousands dead and caused widespread destruction. We examine the reasons for earthquakes in the Himalayas, and we discover that a bigger quake may yet be due in this region.
