The podcast hosts also preview a special series. Talking Under Water will present the regular October episode to listeners early at the start of the month and each subsequent Friday the hosts will release a special episode in conjunction with the Value of Water Campaign—a U.S. Water Alliance campaign—and Imagine a Day Without Water, which is October 21. The series will focus on sharing diverse voices and perspectives on solving water access, equity and affordability issues, starting with the role of one water before digging into the utility perspective, a community group perspective and finally a perspective from the ground floor on water access. The first episode of the series will drop October 9 and we can’t wait to share these conversations with you. The Talking Under Water hosts are committed to elevating conversations surrounding issues of water access, equity and affordability and the role of one water in driving change.
