Yeah. Well, like you said, this is not a new story. There's already been a lot done about it. There's been fictional and non-fictional documentaries made about this. So when I was thinking about how this episode was going to work and how to through-line-ify this story... Through-line-ify.

I really wanted to go somewhere new, and I wanted to meet new kinds of people. And I think the story a lot of times is told from LA's point of view, and it's also told from Los Angeles. Like, what did the aqueduct bring to Los Angeles? What did the people in Los Angeles think of it? Who were the people in Los Angeles that made it happen?

And I wanted to refocus that onto, like, what did this take away from the place where the water came from? And what happened there? How did people react? And how were their lives changed by this event? And so, luckily, I got the chance to go there, which I think was really, really important, too. I've done a couple of reporting trips before.

for the show it's always nice when you have these place-based stories to be able to feel the place that you're going to be storytelling about be able to like breathe the air hear the sounds like meet the people who live there and just get a sense of like the culture the vibes what's happening and I think for this story like You know, the history is so lived in the present in the Owens Valley.

Like, you can really see the effects of the history that this episode is about, and you can also, like, feel it when you talk to people who live there, you know? Like, a huge consequence of this aqueduct building is that the L.A. Department of Water and Power owns a lot of the land in the valley, and, like, there's signs everywhere that say... You know, no trespassing. This is LADWP property.

There's LADWP trucks everywhere. A lot of the people in the valley work for LADWP. And a lot of people in the valley, like I mentioned, have opinions about the aqueduct in the present day. They have feelings about it. There's a lot of emotion. Like, I think I was surprised by...
