  • Absolutely fascinating!

    What a brilliant podcast, I had no idea that so much about the sources of rivers and lakes and water was still to be understood and discovered.

    Great work is being done -well done Steve and his team and to Rolex for funding sone of his work.

    The podcast production is superb - breaking the complex topic into interesting insights for the uninitiated like me.

    I am looking forward to listening to the next episodes.
