It's the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting way too long.

Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrovan along with my co-host David Feldman. Hello David.

Hello, sir. Thank you for calling me sir. I think that's something we should keep up from now on.

And we also have the man of the hour who does not have to call me sir.

Mr Ralph Nader. Hello Ralph.

Hi Steve, it's about drinking water everybody does it.

That's right Ralph and we all know that water is our most precious resource.

A couple of months ago we spoke with Professor Uga Matai about the campaign he led to keep his home country of Italy from privatizing

its water supply.

Well, in this show, we're going to be talking about water right here in America, and apparently

contaminated water is not just a problem in Flint, Michigan.

Our guest is Seth M. Siegel and he has written a book entitled Troubled Water,

what's wrong with what we drink? In this book he tells stories about

contaminated water found throughout the country and about the everyday heroes who have

successfully forced changes in the quality and safety of our drinking water.

And it concludes with what America must do to reverse decades of neglect and inaction by government

at all levels.

And as always, we will take a minute to check in with our title as corporate crime reporter Russell Mocyber.

But first let's find out about safe drinking water.

David?
