Hi everyone, I'm Connor, head of programming at Intelligence Squared. As we head in to the

festive season, what is for many of us a time of comfort, celebration and gatherings round a table,

most of us won't think twice about the clean water running from our taps that make it all possible.

But for millions of people around the world, this is something they simply don't have.

That's why here at the Intelligence Squared podcast, we're proud to partner with WaterAid,

a charity working to change this and to shine a spotlight on something that connects us all.

In a special episode of our podcast, journalist Cocoa Kan speaks to Amica Godfrey, WaterAids Executive Director of International Programs.

Amica has spent more than 25 years working across the world in the water, sanitation and hygiene sector.

She shares powerful stories about how clean water keeps children in school, helps mothers support

their families or run businesses, and unlocks potential for entire communities. To hear

the full conversation, just search Intelligence Squared, wherever you get your podcasts, and listen

to the episode titled Everything Starts with Water, released on the 17th of December.

There's a reason we rewatch Home Alone every year.

Merry Christmas, you filthy animal.
