Haunted Hydrology (SPOOKY LAKES) with Geo Rutherford

Mudbank bones. River wrecks. Salty seas. Pink ponds. Poison dust devils. Steamy streams.. It’s Haunted Hydrology with your favorite Spooky Lakes ambassador, the artist and author Geo Rutherford who is widely known as Geodesaurus. Geo covers the dark history of The Great Lakes, a stump that controls the weather, the what and why of a good lagoon, the field excursions she’s been on for research, the lakes she wants to see the most, and how a drought can shiver your spine. It’s a Spooktober spectacular, folks. It’s Haunted Hydrology.

Commercials in the middle

I enjoyed the guest speaker and topic. Alie is also engaging. THERE are Commercials in the MIDDLE. I've been listening since the beginning of the show when a patreon membership was 25 cents. Commercials in the beginning and end are expected. When commercials are in the middle it is harder to continue to focus on the podcast. I basically stopped listening after the commercial bc it is distracting.
