Hello, friends! Join us today for our annual live show release, recorded in beautiful Nashville. On the docket? The Biosphere II Experiment!

AI Summary

In this live Nashville episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the wild story of Biosphere 2, a massive 1990s experiment where eight people sealed themselves inside a giant glass structure in Arizona to create a completely self-sustaining mini-Earth. They explore how this ambitious project grew out of a group of brilliant 1960s hippies (who definitely weren't a cult, they insist) led by a charismatic Harvard MBA turned performance artist, funded by a Texas oil billionaire's environmentalist son. The hosts reveal whether this incredibly expensive scientific venture was a groundbreaking success, a spectacular failure, or something messily in between.
