We were not sure we’d be able to deliver the second episode of the season on time - since the last episode, the fires in our home in Los Angeles have gotten worse, and in some places, less predictable. Fortunately, by the time we recorded this episode, most everything that was already burning was under control, with containment firmly in sight. We are not out of the woods yet but hope we will arrive there shortly.
Leading up to this episode the guys have been glued to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s radio broadcasts, air traffic monitoring of firefighting aircraft, and the constant refreshing of the winds and their expected patterns - truly your hosts have been unable to focus on anything else.
So the guys felt it would be best to share all the knowledge and learnings they’ve amassed over the past couple of weeks of unexpectedness. Since Nonsense is still (kind of!) a technology show, we’ll focus this episode on some of the more impressive technology that has significantly helped fight these types of wildfires.
We truly hope we can focus on something other than fire for our next episode. With some luck, we will also not have to manage evacuation orders and terrible air quality!
