AWP launches the “Aquaholics” podcast

Water shapes our food, energy, health and culture...

… yet it rarely makes the news until something goes wrong. Aquaholics, the new podcast from the Australian Water Partnership (AWP), sets out to change that.

The series is hosted by AWP General Manager, Sarah Ransom, Professor Brad Moggridge (UTS) and Dr Andrew O’Neill (Healthy Land and Water) and MC’d by the Head of AWP’s Communication Unit, Kylie Johnson. 

Together, these self proclaimed “water nerds” Gali Guwaa-li, or ‘talk water’. 

The first four episodes are out now wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
