The densely populated megalopolis of South Florida is losing it's water wells as sea water intrudes into the Biscayne Aquifer. Salt water has already moved 6 miles inland in Broward County and is likely to continue to creep westward. Ninety percent of South Florida gets its drinking water from underground supplies, most from the Biscayne aquifer. This inland movement observed in Broward County is due to urban withdrawals from the Biscayne Aquifer, ocean water moving sideways into the aquifer and seepage of saltwater from surface sources.

PNN has been concerned for sometime about the END of LITERACY. About the shockingly decreasing number of people that read books, newspapers and even blogs. We have invited a cross section of writers. Science writers, journalists and poets to discuss literacy and where will a post literate society find its moorings for citizenship. Our authors are; Brook Hines  - Political Journalist/Blogger, Barbara Horn - Visionary / Hypnotist Healer, Brian Malow - Science Writer,  Debra Morgan - Blogger and Organizer, Ashlie Allen - Poet and Flash Fiction Editor,  Richard Cytowic Professor of Neurology and Author, Eric Wagner Poet and Sage and of course your host, Rick Spisak Essayist / Dramatist / Poet and Producer. We’ll be discussing literacy, journalism, writing and citizenship.

I want to discuss these and other questions with writers, poets and journalists who are compelled to work with words.

1. What is the value of writing in a world that seems to value literacy less and less

2. We see the evidence of a decreasing attention span. The death of newspapers - and yet writers and poets - continue writing to a smaller and smaller audience.Join us Sunday 7/26/15 7pm (Eastern)
