Michael Sheen joins new series of BBC Radio 4’s award-winning podcast Buried

Michael Sheen

on a small community in West Virginia. Buried: The final eyewitness reveals the long-lasting effect of "permanent chemicals" on a little town in West Virginia.

During this tale, there were instances when a small inner voice was shouting in my mind.

After their worrisome examination of a hazardous garbage dump near Mobuoy Road in Northern Ireland, investigative reporters Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor are back with a sensational fresh news for BBC Radio 4's distinguished ecological podcast documentary Buried, to be aired on June 24.

Buried: The Last Witness is an unheard story about a person who came forward and exposed the truth about 'forever chemicals'. At first, the podcast hosts found a collection of unreviewed pieces of evidence and sworn statements left behind by a deceased witness. This led them to discover a disturbing secret about the environment that's been hidden for a long time in the United Kingdom. What's surprising though, is that actor Michael Sheen, recorded the last statement of the witness.

Over the course of ten episodes, the fearless group embarks on a journey to explore some of the most hazardous locations in both the nation and the globe. Their goal is to shed light on the alarming impact that PCB chemicals have on the ecosystem, our neighborhoods, and even our food supply.

The statement given by the witness in the recording states that he was on the verge of death due to the impact of the chemicals and suggested that several others could also suffer the same fate. Is there any truth to this claim?

Buried: The Final Eye-witness will expose the findings of a year-long exploration that encompasses reports of proof, unobserved papers, and singular experiments on British land, grocery store items, and even human blood.

Dan Ashby stated that in most crime shows, there is usually a person who becomes the target of our sympathy. However, in this specific show, we already know who the guilty parties are and the poison they used. The real concern now is whether or not we are all affected as victims. Ashby added that he has never encountered an inquiry that is both far-reaching and intimately affecting at the same time.

Lucy Taylor expresses that we have constantly fixated on the daily life of a particular individual, possibly even every hour. Despite his brilliance, wide range of interests and peculiar mannerisms, he doesn't fit the mold of a typical environmentalist. Nevertheless, who exactly was this person and what was his perspective? Is it possible that a single incident that occurred in 1967 could have a major impact on society as a whole? After hearing his story, as told in Buried: The Last Witness, one feels compelled to listen.

Michael Sheen expressed that comprehending the story is difficult. The tale is regarding the initial "forever chemicals," of which there are now numerous. It is crucial for individuals to comprehend the ramifications of their present actions. While reading the narrative, some instances stirred strong emotions within Sheen.

The complete collection of Buried: The Last Witness is at your disposal in the form of a boxed set on BBC Sounds. Furthermore, you can also tune in to hear weekly transmissions of the show on BBC Radio 4 starting June 24th.
