279 Sources listed on the website for this!! GOOD LORD!! I read two things at the top of google and I consider myself "well researched". The time it takes to put a podcast of this caliber is wild. I'd pay $20 a month for 6 episodes a year. Keep it up young blood!

2021-12-07 21:34:41 +0000 UTCI know what you mean -- I looked up the video from the West, Texas fertilizer plant and it is horrifying -- even knowing what was coming and bracing for it, I jumped a mile.

2021-12-07 20:30:01 +0000 UTCI can't stop thinking about that video of the bride in Beirut who inadvertently caught the blast on film while posing for what was meant to be the happiest day of her life.
