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.

Where Are We Now? - The Polluter Rulebook
Last year, we brough you "The Polluter Rulebook," a miniseries on the ways in which politicking has frozen and muddied longstanding water protections Michiganders expect their Great Lakes State to have.
Reese Dillard, Environmental Council water policy specialist, joins us for an update on where water laws stand in the wake of a changed state and federal government and why she has hope for the future, near and far.
