Description

The Forever Problem is a podcast that uncovers the hidden chemicals shaping our health, our environment, and our future. Hosted by Sahana Chaubal, the show breaks down complex science into clear, human conversations anyone can understand. Each episode explores the unseen forces we live with every day, starting with PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” substances designed not to break down and now found in our water, food, bodies, and ecosystems. This podcast isn’t about fear or panic. It’s about awareness, curiosity, and asking the questions most people were never taught to ask. Why do these chemicals exist? How did they become so widespread? What do they mean for our health, especially for younger generations, and what choices do we have moving forward? If you care about science, the planet, and the world we’re inheriting, The Forever Problem invites you to look closer, think deeper, and understand what “forever” really means.
