  • Keep up the good work!

    Have listened to all of your episodes. The latest with Drs Frank Galgano and David Stuckenberg did a great job of pointing out the uncertain access or lack of access to adequate and clean water for billions of people around the world. Can you do more episodes focussed on water issues in other parts of the world? We in North America need to have a broader understanding of life in other countries.

  • Good take on Critical Issues

    I’m not in the “water field” but as architect there is some overlap yet I have found very interesting discussions here on issues that are very important to society but not getting much attention. The host has a good range of guests from government, industry and consulting who are real hands on experts. The host is also knowledgeable therefore asks good questions.

    (I only found about this by accident (from a relative of the host) but have listened to it since then.)

    Thanks for the amazing convo with Alaina Harkness of Current. You make it all so easy to understand! I no longer feel like “I don’t know enough” to care about/get involved with water/environmental issues.
