Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister podcast on the Blister Podcast.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you, as always, can check out everything

we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com and on our YouTube channels, Blister Review and Blister Studios.

The mission of our guest today is, quite literally, to make it rain and make it snow.

And by snow, we are talking about, about like really good powder, the kind of stuff

that we all dream about and especially on those scorching hot summer days. Now, as you all know,

water scarcity is a very real and growing concern. And 26-year-old Augustus Dorrico started his company, Rainmaker, to address this.

So today, you are going to hear us talk about the technology of cloud seeding.

We're going to talk about the history and evolution of that technology.

We'll get into the big, broad questions and concerns about human efforts to modify the weather.

Is that actually something that anyone should be messing around with at all?

And we are also going to talk about the potential here, which includes, according to Augustus,

things like literally saving the Great Salt Lake. This is a fascinating technology that is

surrounded by both big questions and enormous potential, and today we are going to be talking about it all.

Now, before we get started, I want to give a shout out to a few of our newest Blister Plus members,

and that includes David in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Casey in Edinburgh, North Dakota,

Connor in Davis, California, Dylan, in Montpelier, Vermont, Alex in Edinburgh, North Dakota, Connor in Davis, California, Dylan in Montpelier, Vermont,
