Water towers. Known for being tall. Famous for being city stuff. Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun. Let's find out why water towers are secretly incredibly fascinating. Fascinating.

Hey there, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.

My name is Alex Schmidt, and I'm not alone.

Three returning guests join me this week.

Calf Barbadoro and Patrick Monaghan and Eli Uden are the co-hosts of one of my favorite comedy podcasts. It's called What a Time to Be Alive. It's about news stories that will make you

say, the title of the podcast. They're also all hilarious on Twitter. Kath and Eli are stand-up

comedians. Kath co-hosts a whole other great podcast called Lie, Cheat and Steel.

Patty co-hosts a whole other great podcast.

It's called Not You, Guillermo, and it is about the TV show What We Do in the Shadows.

I'm so thrilled they all found time within all that stuff to come back on this show.

Also, I've gathered all of our zip codes and used internet resources like

native-dash-land.ca to acknowledge that me and Kath and Eli each recorded this on the

traditional land of the Canarsie and Lenape peoples. I acknowledge Patty recorded this on the

traditional land of the Lenape people and acknowledged that in all of our locations,

native people are very much still here. That feels worth doing on each episode. And today's

episode is about Water Towers. That is a patron chosen topic. Many thanks to Greg I for that

wonderful suggestion that took the poll

by storm at SIFPod.fond.

Water towers are an amazing topic for this show.

They are probably the most humongous building that we all just go right past without

paying attention to.

So let's pay attention to them.
