[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Hi, this is Shelly Lesher with My Nuclear Life with two quick announcements.
[00:00:05] [SPEAKER_00]: The first is a little contest we're having in association with our Raycats episode.
[00:00:10] [SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't listened to it, you should.
[00:00:12] [SPEAKER_00]: It's probably the craziest one in our catalog.
[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_00]: After listening to it, we dare you to out-crazy the crazy.
[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Send us your idea on how to store our nuclear waste to survive on apocalypse and
[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_00]: you could win some prizes.
[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_00]: That email is my nuclear life at protonmail.com.
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_00]: The deadline for this is September 27, 2024.
[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Why that date?
[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You might ask, because I'm going to Toronto, yes, Toronto, Canada,
[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_00]: to bring that question to our favorite conspiracy theorist Lee Kuhln and Nathan Redke of
[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_00]: the uncover-up in person.
[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_00]: That's right, in person.
[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: When I started this podcast back in 2019, it was a way for me to share my passion
[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_00]: for all things nuclear and it was the pandemic after all.
[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_00]: So what else did the rest of us have to do?
[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I never imagined you would help me explore so many topics, visit so many really cool places
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: and meet some really interesting people.
[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so glad you have been on this ride with me.
[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for your support.
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: One of those really cool places and really interesting people have been Nathan and Lee.
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_00]: They invited me to be on their documentary, which explores what would happen if a nuclear
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_00]: bomb was dropped on Toronto.
[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was only a thought experiment. It didn't actually happen.
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You will see us trapped in a car, trapped in a bunker, see Lee triodinvice on how to
[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: questions nobody seemed to ask or maybe care about in the 50s.
[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_00]: This documentary is fun and somewhat informative
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_00]: and has been painstakingly filmed and edited by Sean Foreman and Sherry.
[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_00]: If you'd like to see it on the big screen with us and your
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Toronto on September 27, then you can come to the premiere at Harbor Front Center Studio Theatre
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_00]: on QueensCray at 3 o'clock. After the film there will be a live podcast.
[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Just email podcast at theoncoverup.com.
[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_00]: That's podcast at TheOnCoverup.com for directions and information on how to attend.
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: The whole thing is absolutely free. Thank you for your support and generosity over the years.
[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_00]: We'd love to see you there and meet you.
