This is Sirens, a new series, maybe not so new, but still awesome, brought to you by the ladies of Bombshell, where we dissect the institutions

of American power. Join us as we sound the alarm on technology, governance, and national security,

and most definitely at every possible time lure some men to their deaths. I'm Lauren DeYoung

Shulman. I'm Roda. I and Garplan. And this week we have an amazing guest to talk us through what is going on

in Iran with Dana Struill. But before we get there, I want to start with a question that you

would definitely believe that I have strong answers around because of the number of boxes in my

sunroom right now, which is,

what is your favorite recent Amazon purchase? Rada. Do you have a favorite? I do. And it's these

booklights. Here's the thing. Santa discovered these booklights as stocking stuffers and

and Santa has a tendency to buy forget that there are four adult human or

four humans in this family and sometimes only gets three and then feel sad that

the fourth person who is there named me does, does not have a book light. So these

book lights are amazing. First of all, they clip on to the book with the like bookmark light quality.

Incredible. Second, they then fold flat so they like aren't really bulky. And then they have a

variety of different light levels

and a little timer on them but they're only like about you can't see me because this is a podcast

and we don't do video but they're only about like say the length of a finger so it's like it's just

the perfect book light and i am a person who sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and wishes

to read for a little bit for going back to sleep.

And having an effective booklight with both dimmers and timers is just great.

And my kid to use them.

It's just the greatest booklight.
