Will Sarni and Tom Freyberg launch The Stream (with Will & Tom)™ podcast

A new bi-weekly podcast has been launched to bring an engaging and entertaining perspective on solving global water challenges. The Stream (with Will & Tom)™ is an unfiltered conversation with guests who reject the status quo and have a bias for action in the world of water and beyond.

Co-hosted by Will Sarni, founder and CEO of Water Foundry, and Tom Freyberg, founder and director of Atlantean Media, The Stream features casual but insightful conversations about the day's pertinent topics related to the wicked problems and opportunities to solve water. The series bridges North America and Europe over the Atlantic with cultural and regional perspectives.

The fortnightly podcast, available in video and audio formats, provides a glimpse into Will and Tom’s optimistic points of view and experiences, as well as people encountered in their journeys to solve wicked water challenges.

Regular guests will join Will and Tom to share perspectives on moving beyond the status quo at the water-energy-food nexus. Katrina Donaghy, co-founder of Civic Ledger in Australia, is featured as the first guest to discuss blockchain and water trading. See the links to episode three below. Prateek Joshi, founder of Plutoshift, will be featured next to talk about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and water.

“We’re proud to have launched The Stream and are really pleased with the positive feedback we’ve received so far,” said Sarni. “Join us as we look to unite the global water sector and sustainability communities by sharing ideas, exchanging notes and solving wicked problems together."

“Will and I are glad to be joining forces on this endeavour as we bring diverse yet aligned perspectives together for entertaining conversations,” said Freyberg. “With The Stream, we want to deliver something original, provocative and at times, funny. Multiple stakeholders are needed to solve the wicked problem of water and we intend to help move that dialogue along through this podcast series.”
