We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can only assume is your distant past, the turbulent time that was the early 21st century.

Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this monumental

reference of strange and obscure human knowledge.

So whether you're listening from an advanced civilization or have just reinvented the technology to decrypt our transmissions,

this is our legacy to you. This is our time capsule. This is the

omnibus. Oh, You have accessed entry 1077. J.E.0113, certificate number 23 3, In my airship, come take a sail among the stars.

Come have a spin around Venus.

Come have a spin around miles.

Not enough aviation and not enough Scandinavian content.

Not enough Arctic content

Can you guys do more shows that mention Alaska

and airplanes in Alaska?

Alaska airplanes.

That's a new that's going to be an episode.

So this is a little bit on brand for us, maybe a little on the nose for us.

But usually I would be the one doing Arctic airplane stuff.

Which is why yesterday I texted you and said, hey John, listener Angus Wilson

has requested rolled Amundsen's airship as his number one choice. Would you be interested?
