  Hey all, so in case you didn&apos;t see the announcement video, we launched a new scripted podcast last Wednesday called Extremities. It&apos;s all about why and how people live in earth&apos;s most isolated and extreme settlements. <br><br>In season one, we tell the story of Pitcairn Island--a small British territory in the South Pacific with just 50 people. It&apos;s 300 miles/500 kilometers away from the nearest other inhabited place, 3000 miles/5000 kilometers away from the nearest city, and 10,000 miles/16,000 kilometers away from its capital city in London. The twist and turns that Pitcairn takes through history and the explanation of why and how Pitcairn still exists today are fascinating, in my biased opinion.<br><br>Episode 1 is out now, episode 2 comes out tomorrow, and I&apos;d love it if you&apos;d give it a listen. Extremities is available at the following places:<br><br>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/extremities/id1467292185">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/extremities/id1467292185</a><br>Anchor: <a href="https://anchor.fm/extremities">https://anchor.fm/extremities</a><br>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3yXc8WTwbZcieQhdr3Y6ao">https://open.spotify.com/show/3yXc8WTwbZcieQhdr3Y6ao</a><br>Google Podcasts: <a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9iZWJhNzBjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz">https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9iZWJhNzBjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz</a><br>Stitcher: <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/extremities">https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/extremities</a><br>Breaker: <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/extremities">https://www.breaker.audio/extremities</a><br>Overcast: <a href="https://overcast.fm/itunes1467292185/extremities">https://overcast.fm/itunes1467292185/extremities</a><br>Pocket Casts: <a href="https://pca.st/OW0M">https://pca.st/OW0M</a><br>Podbean: <a href="https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/e7bgg-9466c/Extremities-Podcast">https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/e7bgg-9466c/Extremities-Podcast</a><br>RadioPublic: <a href="https://radiopublic.com/extremities-8gKAOL">https://radiopublic.com/extremities-8gKAOL</a><br><br>I hope you enjoy!<br>-Sam

  After watching this video back in 2019 I thought to myself &quot;I could probably do that.&quot; Now I&apos;m almost 4 years into my career as an air traffic controller with the FAA. This video literally changed the course of my life.

  I love how they have a route for when France is on strike like it&apos;s a regular occurrence.

  I love that the French get an honorable mention for striking. Classic.
