    Great information in a easy digestible way
    Have always read Luke’s articles about the Colorado River, and I have always found their content to be simple to understand/easy language. With water being such a touchy topic, I appreciate the many types of views throughout the pod. So well done. Thank you for making this!!!

    Fascinating and educational
    Provides a clear explanation of how we ended up in the current state and what the major challenges are going forward. I loved the format of traveling down river each episode and hearing the different perspectives and history along the way.

    Science Be Dammed
    If you’ve read Cadillac Desert or Edward Abbey, you know how this story goes. Science studies warned of big problems in the 1920s . As usual, in America, they were ignored in favor of “progress”. They are still building suburbs in the desert.
