  • “Body in a Barrel" by Aaron Mead
    Jan 11 2026

    Season 3 of the Water Shelf Podcast begins with a bang! Aaron Mead, author of Body in a Barrel: A Las Vegas Mafia Crime Novella, talks with me about his fictional treatment of Lake Mead’s slow, climate-change-induced unveiling of long-immersed depths. Building on his written Water Shelf interview, Mr. Mead discusses his water industry and theological studies roots, two layers that contributed complexity as well as publication challenges for his path-breaking work.

    Mr. Mead is a Senior Engineer with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
