No Matter The Water

About No Matter The Water

No Matter the Water is a five-part audio documentary about how ingenuity, faith and community are keys to learning to live with our ever changing environment. The series follows five South Louisianans adapting to life on the Gulf Coast as the land and weather change around them. From floating homes to restoring land, each episode highlights how people are protecting what matters: their families, their traditions and their way of life. This series brings listeners into kitchens, churches and backyards to encounter neighbors helping neighbors, local knowledge leading the way, and communities adapting, working hard and looking out for each other. Whether you're interested in disaster recovery, preserving your heritage, or how community can get us through the larger challenges of our time, No Matter the Water is a tribute to the strength and wisdom of people who call this place home.
