Common Groundwater
Michigan is defined by the Great Lakes that surround it. But there's a so-called sixth lake that’s critical to our state, too: our groundwater. It flows deeply through every community and to every corner of our peninsulas. Yet, we have so much more to learn about this natural feature.
Like groundwater, this podcast shows environmental issues felt deeply, widely and personally across the state. It tells stories around those issues and the solutions to them. It goes beyond the headlines to bring listeners and viewers something grand yet personal to us all.
Common Groundwater
This is Common Groundwater
Welcome to Common Groundwater, a podcast by the Michigan Environmental Council and hosted by pleasant peninsula diehard Beau Brockett Jr.
Like Michigan's mysterious yet necessary groundwater—our so-called sixth Great Lake—Common Groundwater tells tales of environmental issues by going to all corners of the state, by going deep into the nuance, and by bringing out a story arc that's grand in scale yet personal to all of us.
Common Groundwater will be split into four-episode miniseries. Each miniseries will have its own topic of focus with additional opportunities to learn more, get excited, and take part.
