Why ‘Drain Lake Powell’ Is Catching On
One in three westerners are ready to live without Lake Powell, the gorgeous and glamorous boating destination on the Utah/Arizona border. Journalist and author Zak Podmore joins host Ali Vallarta to explore why this radical idea is gaining traction and what it could mean for life in the West.
Buy Zak Podmore’s book, “Life After Dead Pool,” through local publisher Torrey House Press or from a local bookseller, like The King’s English.
