Customer Reviews
Essential CA water convos
If you follow CA water issues, you know that a few voices tend to dominate the conversations, and be amplified by media, despite there being many others who have important and necessary things to say. This podcast fills an essential role in broadening the conversation and including perspectives that are often marginalized. So excited for what is next with this podcast. Also, you can join in the live recordings! What a cool participatory endeavor!
Great content, sub-par quality
Has somebody who studies water the topics are absolutely great. The guess they have on are passionate and knowledgeable. But at times I find it impossible to listen to give in that the sound quality can be so poor. I don’t know if they’re just using smart phones to record the audio, but spend $20 and get some better microphones or just edit the quality juuuust a little.
