Littoral Space is a podcast that explores social, cultural, and environmental topics using a geographical lens. Each episode is a conversations with a person who has experiences and expertise in an area of interest that provides a distinct insight into the world around us. I use Littoral – an adjective, relating to or situated on the shore of the sea or a lake – as a metaphor from a zone of convergence and change, a liminal space in which fluid understandings emerge and positive impact is encouraged.
The podcast is available through Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher.
Series 3: Conscious Lee
Season three of Littoral Space Conscious Lee is a distributary (a river that branches off from and flows away from the main course, the opposite of a tributary) which aims to help people value and protect their rivers. It explores the River Lee and other rivers as habitats, natural spaces in cities, and sources of clean water.
