DUDE before you listen to this episode, read this ABSOLUTELY BATSHIT CRAZY article linked below from the New Yorker about the water tunnels that supply New York City. They talk about the 2 main tunnels that supply all the water and how one of them is on the verge of collapse. Notable quotes include: > “No one wants to talk about it, but we’re flirting with disaster.” (!! wtf?!) > "He wiped some mud from his eyes. “Look,” he said. “If one of those tunnels goes, this city will be completely shut down. In some places there won’t be water for anything. Hospitals. Drinking. Fires. It would make September 11th look like nothing.” (!!!!!!!!!!) > This next quote is from Andrew Ward, head of NYC's Department of Environmental Protection: “Engineers will tell you if it fails it will not fail incrementally,” said Ward. “It will fail catastrophically.” If City Tunnel No. 1, which is considered the most vulnerable, caved in, all of lower Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn, as well as parts of the Bronx, would lose its water supply. If the aqueducts gave out, the entire city would be cut off. “There would be no water,” Ward told me. “These fixes aren’t a day or two. You’re talking about two to three years.” In short, here is what I have to say about water infrastructure: hahahahahahahahahahahaha *sob* Anyway, to give you an actual description, in this episode, we talk to Shane Kelly, a GIS specialist who works for a company that contracts with the city of Baltimore to map out all of the water pipes because guess what??! We don't know where they are!!! Hahahahaha! Batshit Crazy New Yorker article on Sandhogs called City of Water: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/09/01/city-of-water Freakonomics episode that features a section with LA Mayor Eric Garcetti, who talks about how LA steals water from the surrounding suburbs: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/live-los-angeles/ We mention in the episode that Boston is still using wooden pipes, but I couldn't find an article on this so here is a similar article on Chelan, Washington: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/18/us/18water.html ASCE's Infrastructure Report Card gives America a D when it comes to drinking water and estimates we will need at least $1 trillion in funding towards water maintenance and upgrading to service the needs of our growing population: https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/drinking_water/ Music is The Beauty of Maths by Meydän. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/im-the-villain/support
Ever since I discovered the weird world of the [Famous Sandhogs](http://thefamoussandhogs.bandcamp.com/) a few years back, I've been curious about its anonymous creator's identity and motives behind the project. We come a little closer on this episode (but no spoilers, I still don't know who he actually is).It's an interview over the phone, in which we talk about his vast catalogue, the deep levels of research and mythology, his recent (masked, of course) live show, and more. If you're looking for an entry point to the Sandhogs universe, it's hard to find something better than [*Paris Green*](http://thefamoussandhogs.bandcamp.com/album/paris-green), a full-fledged, choose-your-own-adventure style board game in album form. This episode is brought to you by our friends at [The Park Theatre](http://myparktheatre.com/), who are hosting the second annual [Manitoba Podcast Festival](http://www.facebook.com/mbpodfest) Sept. 29. It's also brought to you by [Trevor Fisher](http://https://www.linkedin.com/in/fishertrevor) of Way2Wealth Management, a local Certified Financial Planner who can help you start planning your financial independence.
