He helped WNYC score a Peabody Award for his coverage of Superstorm Sandy, and he helped launch NJSpotlight.org\u2019s environmental investigative series \u201cDirty Little Secrets.\u201d But the lengths he will go to for a great story are soon to surpass several thousand miles as he documents his upcoming trip from London to Mongolia in a used car. The stories he gets will be featured on his new podcast called far from home (farfromhomepodcast.org), which just recently went online. In this special live-recorded edition of The Backgrounder, Scott Gurian talks about his new podcast and explains why he wanted to take this trip in the first place.
