Host Justin Maiman, from Cairo, shares his latest inspirations on the "Ginger Radio Hour." The show features music, field recordings, performances, and interviews, primarily with people in and around the Catskill Mountains of New York live from WGXC's Acra studio. This week: Hudson Valley writer Lucy Sante has just written the definitive account of the harrowing and heartbreaking search for drinking water in Nineteen Reservoirs: On Their Creation and the Promise of Water for New York City. Our conversation focuses on the displacement and construction that ripped across the Catskills in the 20th century. Plus, music of a watery theme.
