Groundwater Rising

Xmas Special: Interview With Host Katie Hargrave-Smith

Episode Summary

Usual host Katie is the guest this episode - sharing insights, memories and highlights from the first 8 months of this podcast.

Episode Notes

Due to a calendar quirk (we release an episode on the last Thursday of each month), this episode publishes on Boxing Day... so we decided to make a bit of a different episode to get into the holiday spirit. Katie Hargrave-Smith is usually the host of 'Groundwater Rising' but for this episode the tables have turned and she's the guest.

It's a great chance to look back on a successful first 8 months for this podcast, which we're very happy to say is getting great feedback and growing steadily.

But what has Katie's experience been like? What made her want to start this podcast? What has been the reaction? How has it moved the conversation around groundwater - and groundwater flooding - forward? What has Katie learnt about podcasting, herself and groundwater flooding itself, along the way. And now the podcast is established and serving a real purpose, what does the future hold?

Thanks to Alex Beckett (Climate Change Programme and Partnership Manager at Buckinghamshire Council) for stepping in to presenter's role for this episode.
