This is a great piece of work. The piece isn't just another environmental documentary. "Dying For Water" weaves cultural stories, myth, history, science and even Scotland into this sound rich tapestry. The interviews are authentic and intriguing. Great voices and there is humor as well. Not your usual fare when talking about endangered species. I love the traditional singing though I had trouble with the sound level of the singer/guitarist. She probably would have been better miked further away. It was a bit off putting. The host grew on me. At first I found him intrusive after hearing these great textured voices and wonderful archival reports from Native America Calling. But after a while I got used to his casual and friendly delivery. I just wanted him to link the other voices and topics more and follow the mood of the documentary more. Still great stuff and highly recommended. Stations in the Northwest and California should really take a listen to this piece. Salmon is one of our very pertinent concerns and this exploration by Hoopa Tribal Radio is a contender.
