Since Ann Arbor's founding, the river has been used as a method of transportation and source of power, helping the city prosper and grow. Here's a dam fine history of Ann Arbor's dams, which includes death, floods, and the odds of a coming watery apocalypse. Listener warning: This episode contains references to drowning, dead people, and liberal use of the word "dam." Music by Chris Bathgate, from his new album Dizzy Seas
