The KYH₂O podcast series is designed to provide the listener, in a 10-12-minute timeframe, with information on water-related topics, an understanding of why the topic is of importance, and information on how citizens can modify their behavior to protect water resources and the environment. Podcasts include a mixture of in-the-field expert interviews interspersed with discussions between the hosts, Drs. Carmen Agouridis and Amanda Gumbert. Drs. Agouridis and Gumbert help frame podcast topic, provide points of clarification for listeners, and provide suggestions for listeners who wish to delve deeper into podcast topics. At the end of each podcast, listeners will be directed to the podcast series website where they can learn more about a topic. The website will contain aired podcasts, podcast transcripts, relevant UK Cooperative Extension publications, and educator resources. Podcasts are produced by Brian Volland of UK’s Agricultural Communications and will be aired on WUKY, Lexington’s National Public Radio and will be available on iTunes.
