This episode is brought to you by the Recharge in Nature Project, a new partnership between

BMW and National Parks UK. I know that I need to recharge in nature. I often come back here

if I've been abroad or have been working inside, looking at the screen, been in the big

city, I come here and I feel about a thousand times better. And now there's a partnership

between BMW and National Parks UK to enhance electric car charging networks across all

15 national parks, making travel by electric vehicles these locations much easier, which

is great because it means when I'm on big cross-country journeys now, I'm going filming

and recording for the podcast, I can stop National Park and have a little walk while I'm

recharging. It's the best news ever. They're also supporting local initiatives focused on

enabling nature restoration biodiversity and well-being through the Recharge in Nature Fund.

an investigative journalist, she's an author, she's the 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist, she's

a big deal. She even produces Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on the TV. That's cool. She is coming

on the podcast, talk about Area 51, she's written a book about it, in fact, an uncensored

history of America's top secret military base. After all, as you know, is where people

keep thinking the aliens are all stored and all that kind of stuff. It isn't a parcel

van in southern Nevada, just outside Las Vegas. It's called the Nevada Test and Training

Range. It's divided into quadrants and they do stuff there like in some parts of the

Test and Training Range, President Truman ordered the test of 100 atmospheric nuclear weapons.
