Returning to a Home Consumed by the Wildfires
The New Yorker Radio Hour About this episode
<p>The staff writer <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/dana-goodyear">Dana Goodyear</a> has reported on California extensively: the entertainment industry; a deadly crime spree in Malibu; Kamala Harris’s rise in politics; and the ever more fragile environment. She <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/the-woolsey-fire-engulfs-southern-california">covered</a> the destructive Woolsey Fire, in Los Angeles, in 2018. Recently, Goodyear found her own life very much in the center of the story. Living in Pacific Palisades, she had to evacuate early this month, and she documented her return days later to a scene of devastation in this audio story. “The house just is an idea of a house, or the aftermath of a house,” she said. “You can walk through the arched door at the front and the back, but there’s just pretty much nothing in between.” </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
