Episode 10 - Aman Iman (Water Is Life)

Turning Earth

In this episode we're talking about water! And gently freaking out about how we're going to access it in the near future. We had nobody to interview this time so it's just Tommy and Eric ranting at each other for an hour. Contents: Ireland drought and water shortages, water charges, Bolivian water wars, neoliberalism, capitalism, the psychopathy of the super-rich, silly people doing silly things. The title of this episode is an expression in the Tamasheq language, used by the Tuareg people of the Sahara (Libya, Algeria, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso). It is the title of an album by the Tuareg band Tinariwen. Listen to them! The theme music as usual provided by the wonderful Wild Rocket - https://wildrocket.bandcamp.com/ The intro features a sample of water drumming by the Baka people in the Congo.
