Hello, and welcome back to the Junkdrawer! 

In this episode of our podcast I, Jivan, will be giving you some history on a common item that may be in your junkdrawer: the battery. You may already know what a battery is, but may not know this: the battery has been around for longer than you think, dating back to some early prototypes in the 1700s. They’re used to power vehicles and have the power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Along with some history, I’ll also be giving you some tips on how to not only safely store your batteries in your junkdrawer, but how to also dispose of them as well.

The music used in this episode is Mourning Dove by Zachariah Hickman.
