In this episode, Don, Kirk and Shawn discuss how Mary Shelley wrote the story of Dr. Frankenstein, sixty-five years before electricity was commercially distributed. The team discusses a couple of news articles regarding the recycling of electric vehicle batteries and “agri-voltaics.” As a main topic, Don compares the COViD 19 pandemic’s use of the phrase, “flattening the curve,” to both the electric and telecom industries. Finally, after several questions from listeners, the team finally does some research on what a cat whisker detector really is.
