Both the radio program (described below) and its companion e-Book (<A HREF="id20_exploring_water_s_essence_1.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Writings"><U>click here</U></A> to preview) are entitled <I>Exploring Water's Essence</I>. He has also appeared as a guest on a variety of radio interview shows focusing on science, the environment, and human perceptions.

The hour-long talk show, <I>Exploring Water's Essence</I>,<I> </I>addressed diverse aspects of water and humanity's changing relationship to this remarkable substance. Each show begins with an "Orientation" segment, during which West introduces the episode's topic and its relevance to current affairs. The remainder of each show consists of an "Interview" segment, during which West discusses the topic with a guest expert.
