Which city has the longest canals?
We dive back into the world of waterways after a listener question
about who has the longest canals.

Did 35,000 Americans die building the Panama Canal?
We fact check a claim made by Donald Trump about the construction of
the world famous canal.

I found it quite interesting, but I do live on a canal.

segment is apparently not included in the episode that is about to be
repeated on Radio 4. (8pm Sunday).
