Aquathread
Every Friday
Produced by and recorded at WUGA, Aquathread illustrates the connections in our world from land to water to people, and everything in between. The podcast works to bring you new voices and often underrepresented perspectives on many intertwined topics. Aquathread is hosted by UGA environmental engineering professor, long-time plastics researcher, and 2022 MacArthur Fellow, Jenna Jambeck. Each episode is co-hosted by a rotating set of early career co-hosts.
