单集简介 ...

Terrence McCoy is The Washington Post's Rio de Janeiro Bureau Chief. He won the George Polk award for his series "The Amazon, Undone" on the illegal and often violent exploitation of the rainforest. “When I first got to Brazil, the Amazon was an arena of mystique. But after you spend a fair amount of time in the Amazon, it becomes quite clear what the struggle is—and how human that struggle is.” This is the last in a week-long series of conversations with winners of this year's George Polk Awards in Journalism.

  • Foreign.

  • Hey, it's Max.

  • It's Friday,

  • which means it is the end of our week long series of interviews with this year's George Polk Award winners.

  • We really love doing this every year.

  • This is the third time and we've got one last one for you today.

  • Then it's back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.

  • For this last episode in the series, I Talked to Terry McCoy of the Washington Post.

  • Terry won the environmental reporting award for a series called the Amazon Undone,

  • which took an in depth look at the illegal and often violent exploitation of the rainforest in Brazil.

  • Terry reported the series over two years and as you'll hear,

  • it's both a climate change story but also a true crime story.

  • And over the two years, it became a quite personal story too.

  • So anyway, here is my conversation with Terry McCoy.

  • Thanks again for listening to the series all week and thanks so much to everyone at the Polk Awards

  • for making it happen.

  • Terry, thanks so much for doing this, man.

  • Hey, thanks for having me.

  • Max, where are we zooming from?

  • Where are you exactly?
