    Aug 20 2025

    With support from the Hulbert Center for Southwest Studies, Utah Rivers Council, and Colorado River and Trail Expeditions, Lifeblood is a 6-part audio documentary, produced and narrated by me, Evelyn Baher-Murphy.

    When I first learned about the Colorado River, its rapids, its reservoirs, the millions of people who depend on it, and its uncertain future, I wanted to know more. So I set out on the road interviewing stakeholders, policy makers, and experts who care about the river, its resources, and how and where it flows. What I heard is a complicated story of flooded canyons, drowned archaeology, environmental mishaps, water policy miscalculations, megadrought, and hope for the future...hope for radical conservation.

    Throughout the series. I ask the questions "How did we get here?" and "How do we keep going?”

    Episode: 1 of Lifeblood airs on Friday, August 22nd.
