We have come back to our semi-regular podcasting schedule. We have missed each other and definitely missed y'all! After a few minutes of chit chat and forgetting to give our podcast name...oops? Also, this time it's not just Bre who is not sure she is saying things correctly. We get down to business. Brett goes back to 1871 for an enormous fire that jumped over a river! The Peshtigo fire was buried in history because it was the same day of the Chicago Fire. How some people survived was genius! Did you know you could buy us a "coffee"..or beer, or whatever to help up create this podcast? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pdspodcast Thank you for the shout out Cool Science Dad: http://coolsciencedad.blogspot.com/ Twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/pdspodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pdangeroussituation http://www.estewards.com/services/current-projects/dow-dioxin/ https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/gov-whitmer-calls-flooding-in-mid-michigan-a-500-year-event | |||
| 019: Just Wear a Mask Already | 04 Jul 2020 | 01:25:44 | |
It's been said again and again - history repeats itself. In 1918 there was a pandemic that took over the globe. This episode Brett and Breana share the subject of the 1918 Pandemic. We go over how it affected the world, how it spread so much, what we learned from it, how some scientists with garden tools are badass, and sometimes fire extinguishers aren't enough to preserve specimens. Come listen to our sweet sweet voices and cackles take you back into time. - Social Distance when possible - Wear a mask If you have questions about mask safety and efficiency, this article from Stanford University is informative and helpful: http://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/06/stanford-scientists-contribute-to-who-mask-guidelines.html COVID-19 Relief Fund Donations: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/donate Instagram & Twitter: @pdspodcast Facebook: @pdangeroussituation | |||

| 015: Hell or High Water! | 04 Feb 2020 | 01:10:03 | |
Holy Forking Shirt Balls! Somehow, Breana actually guesses what Brett is going to cover...well, sort of. Have you heard of the city of Centralia? Welp, here you go! There is an ongoing fire UNDER the city. This may be Bre's favorite disaster that Brett has covered since it seems so unreal. Then we get a rundown of the 1993 Great Midwest Flood. Finally, Breana touches on a natural disaster. Okay, mostly natural. Wait until you hear about what James Scott decides to do so he can party hardy! Let's just pretend that at some point Breana doesn't say Jack, and continues to say James.

Your favorite disaster babes are at it again. Holy Flamin' Balls there is a lot of heat and more ice in this episode. Breana starts with the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire that she remembers since it was close to her. When you mix teens, fireworks, and a forest, you get multiple people stranded in a burning forest overnight, and many still closed off trails. Brett thought she was gonna review the Great Flood of 1862...but, oops, that was done. So she hits us with another 1800 gnarly time. Apparently, if a huge volcano goes off it can create winter in the summertime around the world. Check out the second half of this episode to hear about this volcano and how it took the heat away from much of the world. you'll be shocked to hear it.
