| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Charged Show podcast. Today's guest |
| 0:11.9 | is Helen Chersky, who is a regular contributor to the Fully Charged Show. And she is, as we all |
| 0:19.2 | know, a really, truly remarkable woman. And this is her book. And I'll be talking about |
| 0:24.3 | this. We will be talking about this at great length in this episode. It is a beautiful |
| 0:29.2 | book. I haven't finished reading it yet. I was trying to finish reading it before. I |
| 0:34.3 | spoke to Helen, but I'm afraid other issues took my attention away and I couldn't quite |
| 0:40.2 | finish it, but I've got over halfway through and it is extraordinary. You cannot fail to |
| 0:46.0 | learn an enormous amount about the world that we live in. The blue planet that we live |
| 0:51.1 | in. We'll talk about it all with Helen. But just before we do that, I just want to say |
| 0:55.3 | that Helen from start is going to be in Vancouver in September, which is really exciting. |
| 1:01.6 | Most of the team are going to be there. Imogen is there. Jack Scarlett is there. Helen is |
| 1:06.2 | there myself there. So we've got loads of amazing guests from the United States and from Canada |
| 1:11.4 | coming to join us at the event. And it's going to be really special. It's a really, a real thrill |
| 1:17.2 | to have a launch event like we're having in Vancouver, though, is on the scale and with the |
| 1:22.9 | complexity, depth and fascination that the show will have. So if you are in the Pacific Northwest |
| 1:30.5 | region of the United States or in fact British Columbia in general, or even why not |
| 1:35.8 | to go over from Alberta to come and see us. It would be wonderful at the Convention Centre |
| 1:42.2 | in Vancouver on the 8th from the 10th of September. It's going to be really, really spectacular |
| 1:47.7 | show. Lots and lots of new products being unveiled. She's very exciting. And I say products |
| 1:54.4 | in the broadest sense of the term possible. But I don't want to go on about that now because I |
| 2:00.3 | really want to just get into it. It's quite a long podcast. This one, Helen is just a brilliant |
| 2:05.2 | communicator, fascinating and highly intelligent scientist and is just amazing. The stuff she knows. |
