This week on Forward.

Hey everyone, it's Jules. If you haven't heard of me on past episodes, I would definitely tune

0:28.4

into those. I said last episode, it was the last time I was going to introduce myself so you

0:32.1

can check out there. But today I'm here with Isabelle Bemke, who's alter ego, Isodot, is the world's

0:37.8

first nuclear influencer. And I think she's one of the greatest communicators that I've come across

0:42.7

over the past year. If you were able to watch some of her videos and not be familiar with the

0:46.9

current culture around short form video today, they may seem a bit unconventional, but for the

0:52.0

upcoming generation of voters and leaders, how she storytels is beyond compelling and there's a

1:25.4

potential. So that kind of states Yang's thoughts on this. I actually grew up like three minutes

1:31.6

from three mile island. So for those who don't know what three mile island is, it is a nuclear energy

1:38.0

power plant that did experience a partial meltdown. We'll get into what that is later. It's a rare

1:43.2

situation, but I was born like, you know, two decades after that happened, but it was kind of always

1:48.0

a location point that people would reference growing up. So just from the media and my environment

1:54.4

growing up, I would often hear the negative sentiment around nuclear, but Isabelle's content last

1:58.9
