The Nile River is an incredible geographic feature on our planet. But despite being so closely associated with Egypt, it actually runs through many other countries making it equally important to hundreds of millions of people. Despite this importance, one dam being constructed in Ethiopia could upend how and where water goes throughout much of the Nile River basin. And this is leaving some really large geopolitical questions hanging out in the open.

Have you done an episode on Ukraine? "Gates of Europe", by Serhii Plokhy, has history and geography closely tied, if you need research material.
