We are finishing up our episode on Airports! Our very short series. We are focusing this on mainly the economics on what determines your seat price. Tiering and Supply and Demand. We'll do a quick section at the end on what happens when you exit the airport.

In today's episode we talk about the interstate system that is - by the way - A MESS - it has some order, but also, some mess.
Note: This is a hard episode to follow because of all the states and cities I mention in it. I understand that! It's even hard for me to visualize where the cities are! And I just took my 50 states quiz! Here's a link that should help with visualization!

Thank's to Samaya for asking this question! Have you seen a rainbow near you?
Yes Indeed! In EPISODE 30 we are talking about Rainbows and not only how they are formed, but also how we see those rainbows. Not how our eyes work, but how light - bounces off things into our eyes. We talk about wavelengths and about iron rods and pencils. Plus, the random fact this week is a big one.
Thanks to everyone that's been tuning in since I first started making this podcast series! I can't believe we are at episode 30!
If you are a new time listener, thanks for your support as well.

Hello! In this episode we talk about how you hear the things that you hear! How we talk, and also how you are able to listen to my podcast! How, a microphone and speaker works. In fact, when I first started researching this Idea, it was only on how a microphone and speaker works, but then, I got caught up in how sound waves are made!

Hello! I know it's Wednesday! A new feature I tried - scheduled publishing went horribly wrong! (It was set to this coming Friday)
In this episode we fill in the gaps for episode number 26 and sort of episode number 27. This is because I cannot cover everything that there is to cover in one short episode. I also don't want to stretch the episode.
Enjoy!

Here we talk about how tropical cyclones and tornadoes form! We talk a little bit about Newton's first law of Motion and how it causes tropical cyclones to swirl. Also - note that tropical cyclones is the generally agreed on term for tsunami/typhoon.
This episode was a tad bit complicated - especially the tornado part.
Here's a drive link to an image that I made to help explain the tornado bit.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12lo8hboGd2GAXWFbyrVm8JRjltqqZN9y/view?usp=sharing
