Did you know that oysters have superpowers? The co-founder of a Lowcountry oyster farm explains why these bivalves are critical to the coastal environment.

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.
