S5: Ep 3 - Is There Sewage in Your River?! Inside Channel 4’s Dirty Business 💩

The sun is out, and apparently so is the sewage...☀️🤢 In this week's episode, Imogen and Abbie dive (not literally, thank god) into the "Fountain of Filth" and the shocking realities exposed in the new Channel 4 docu-drama, Dirty Business. We’re joined by the incredible Sophie Hellyer, surfer, model, and activist, who shares her harrowing personal experience with sewage pollution and why she’s now a literal face of the very confronting London South Bank installation. 👀Noteworthy Mentions: 💩 Channel 4, Dirty Business - https://www.channel4.com/programmes/dirty-business 💩 Surfer's Against Sewage, Live Sewage Map - https://www.sas.org.uk/sewage-map/ 📝 Sign the petition - https://www.sas.org.uk/water-quality/our-water-quality-campaigns/dirty-business-petition/ 🎙️ Listen to our episode with SAS - https://youtu.be/Y2ULn172Y7w?si=Qg_XhwZB3fsuGgHk 🎙️ Listen to Sojo on Amol Rajan's Radical Podcast - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0mxncmp 00:00 Sunshine is HERE! 02:22 The "Fountain of Filth" on South Bank 05:33 Voice Note: Sophie Hellyer’s Story 07:25 Reviewing Channel 4’s Dirty Business 08:52 The Systemic Failure of Water Companies 13:55 What Surfers Against Sewage are demanding 15:00 Why storytelling beats statistics 18:40 Recommendation: Sojo’s Josephine Phillips on Radical 21:50 Why consumers aren't to blame 22:30 Concluding thoughts 💚✨ Join the greenest girl gang around—hit subscribe, give us a like, and share with a friend! 📆 Join us for new episodes every Friday 🎥 Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@GreenQueensPod 🫶🏼 Follow us on instagram: @green.queens.pod - https://www.instagram.com/green.queens.pod 🎵 Find us on tiktok - Green.queens.podd #GreenQueens #greenqueenspodcast #GreenQueens #Sustainability #SewageScandal #DirtyBusiness #SurfersAgainst Sewage #SophieHellyer #CleanWater #EnvironmentalPodcast #FastFashion #Sojo #ClimateAction #UKWaterways #ThamesWater #EcoFriendly #ImperfectEnvironmentalist Hosted on Acast.
