Back with another LLDD: Listen, Learn, Do, or Die. These bonus episodes are part of our goal to help prepare our listeners as much as possible for a disaster. It's summer in our area, and unfortunately, there are fires by us both. Join Brett, Breana, and Special Guest Caleb for some fire safety tips of what to do before, during, and after fires! Caleb, who just so happens to be Breana's husband, is a volunteer firefighter. He gives some of his own tips and knowledge of things to keep in mind. Brett makes sure to cover Wildfires, an unfortunate constant in our lives. At no surprise to anyone, Breana also talks about the benefits of insurance. Come join us for an hour discussion on fire safety.

020: Wooden Phones for Wooden Towns
We have come back to our semi-regular podcasting schedule. We have missed each other and definitely missed y'all! After a few minutes of chit chat and forgetting to give our podcast name...oops? Also, this time it's not just Bre who is not sure she is saying things correctly. We get down to business. Brett goes back to 1871 for an enormous fire that jumped over a river! The Peshtigo fire was buried in history because it was the same day of the Chicago Fire. How some people survived was genius!
Then Breana comes into the scene with another flood scene. Another story that got a bit buried in the news because of COVID-19. End of May evacuations went down, and there were some dam fractures & bursts.
Did you know you could buy us a "coffee"..or beer, or whatever to help up create this podcast? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pdspodcast (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pdspodcast)

019: Just Wear a Mask Already
It's been said again and again - history repeats itself. In 1918 there was a pandemic that took over the globe. This episode Brett and Breana share the subject of the 1918 Pandemic. We go over how it affected the world, how it spread so much, what we learned from it, how some scientists with garden tools are badass, and sometimes fire extinguishers aren't enough to preserve specimens. Come listen to our sweet sweet voices and cackles take you back into time.
We actually recorded this early April - thought it is still relevant almost 3 months later. There are many locations in the United States that are getting surges of positive tests and hospitalizations. We ask everyone to listen to the experts and follow the suggested guidelines:
- Wash your hands
- Social Distance when possible
- Wear a mask
If you have questions about mask safety and efficiency, this article from Stanford University is informative and helpful: http://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/06/stanford-scientists-contribute-to-who-mask-guidelines.html (http://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/06/stanford-scientists-contribute-to-who-mask-guidelines.html)
