DETAILS

In this multi-part series I will provide the listener with several fundamental explanations about what nuclear power is and why and then will delve into the subject with the intent of answering the following four questions and of course many others along the say:

Question 1:

How did they figure out what a nucleus is and that energy is released when it is split? I mean - we are talking about things that are so small and at that time, we weren’t even sure what if anything that small existed!

Question 2:

How can nuclear power can be both wonderfully productive as well as mind-bogglingly destructive?

Question 3:

What is the difference between a nuclear power plant that will produce astronomical amounts of electricity for the grid without polluting the atmosphere and a nuclear bomb that is capable of mass destruction?

Question 4:

Can a commercial nuclear power plant that generates electricity explode, produce a mushroom cloud and devastate an entire state like a nuclear weapon?

I wanted to share a short “free form” episode with you this week. The next Nuclear Power Series Episode is still in production. I thought that I’d give you all a quick run-down on my mobile studio and the pros and cons that come with it. If you’d like to see a picture of my view then follow the link below:

In this episode, I am the guest Co-Host on The How To Podcast Series, hosted by Dave Campbell. This was truly an honor and an opportunity for me to network with Dave and to have been invited for a full episode on his show.

The How To Podcast Series has been a major source of wisdom and information for me in these beginning steps of my podcasting journey. I know that I have much to learn and skills to develop and so many other things but I wouldn’t be nearly where I am at today had it not been for all of the things that I’ve learned from Dave’s podcast.

Dave will tell you, and I agree that everyone has a story to tell. Your story matters and if you listen to podcasts like this one then maybe you’ve considered creating one yourself? If that is the case, I would strongly recommend doing it! Let Dave’s “How To Podcast Series” help you on your way!

In this episode we will cover a bit of my podcast journey, we touch on a submarine story from my time in the U.S. Navy and a few other things.

For those of us who live North of the Equator, Winter fast approaches. For those of us who live in the higher latitudes, Winter brings some extreme conditions and it is important to be sure our vehicles are ready for those extreme conditions.

In this episode we will look at things like having good tires, ensuring our vehicles are in good repair and that we have the proper winter emergency supplies.

In this episode I make some big announcements about changes to the show.

Hello and welcome to Episode 6 of the Have You Ever Wondered What Happened podcast.

DDT, (Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane) once so highly promoted, now, banned except when sprayed in one of the last places you’d ever expect!

In this episode we get in to part 2 of a 2 part series about DDT we get in to the justification for where it is allowed to be sprayed and my thoughts about the decision process for the choices made in such a conundrum.

Who makes the choice? What conclusions did the really smart people come to? Where they in opposition?

Dr. Anarfi Asamoa-Baah of the World Health Organization (WHO) and Professor Bontle Mbongwe, an associate professor of Environmental health and Toxicology at the University of Botswana weigh in on this very difficult subject.

Details of the actual effects that DDT has on the voltage-gated sodium channels in the nervous system and adaptation of the insects of concern. What effects does DDT have on humans and other animals in the environment?

My perspective on DDT and whether or not the research that I’ve done for this episode has affected that perspective.

What viable alternatives are there?

How do they handle the mosquito issue in Disney World and are there lessons to be learned for sub-Saharan Africa?

What is indoor residual spraying of DDT and is it a good or a bad thing?

I’ll share the short version as applicable to this story, of my trip to Colombia South America to help build a home with my church group and an amazing organization called Dwellings Now.

Hello and welcome to Episode 5 of the Have You Ever Wondered What Happened podcast.

DDT, (Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane) once so highly promoted, now, banned except when sprayed in one of the last places you’d ever expect!

In this episode we get in to part 1 of a 2 part series on what DDT is, how it was discovered, why it was good, why it was bad, that it was banned, why it was banned, and where it is still being used anyway. We talk about how it works, why it works.

The use of DDT did a great deal to limit the spread of insect-born disease… but at what cost?

What are Typhus and Malaria? How are the two spread? Treated

Why is DDT so bad? Why was it banned yet Love Canal was able to happen?

The environmental movement, “Silent Spring” by marine biologist Rachel Carson and a series of events that occurred at the start of the Nixon administration.

Creation of the Environmental Protection Agency

Half life and travel ability of DDT

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), the Stockholm Convention on POPS Treaty, and the ban exemption allowed by the World Health Organization

Hello and welcome to Episode 4 of the Have You Ever Wondered What Happened podcast.

In this episode we get in to part 2 of a 2 part series on an ugly romance scam perpetrated by three ACTUAL Nigerian scammers.

We will walk finish walking through this real case based on actual court documents of a woman, who I refer to as Victoria, who suffered an incredible loss because of these thugs.

The outcome is sad and, as I share in this podcast, there is nothing that I can do for this victim... but hopefully, with the knowledge that may be spread because of this episode, it may help prevent future scams of this type.
