Oysters are pretty incredible.

They can be incredibly delicious, and they’re one of the things people come to Charleston to eat, but they also have some natural superpowers — superpowers that are particularly relevant for a place like Charleston that’s constantly contending with sea level rise and flooding.

This episode was hosted by Emily Williams and features Post and Courier reporter Jocelyn Grzeszczak and Josh Eboch, co-founder of Barrier Island Oyster Co.
