His team conducted a brief cloud seeding operation on July 2 in a limited area of the state, then suspended operations out of caution. While some have raised questions about a possible connection between his work and the recent flooding, Doricko joins us to explain what cloud seeding actually involves—and to weigh in on the growing speculation surrounding it.

I’m a huge fan of story time and the long form interviews. SRS is just building the library from what I can tell. Check it now and you get to start close to the beginning.

If you like Joe Rogan long form you’ll love SRS

I feel incredibly lucky and privileged to call people like you both my countrymen. You guys are and all our military vets are unbelievable hero’s to most of us in this great country. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate what you guys have given for the rest of us. God bless you both.

some of the best and most controversial topics discussed. I'm a little late to the podcast game, so I started from the beginning. but this stuff is just eye-opening and life changing for me.

Shawn is an amazing interviewer, especially in the context of most of his guests. There's some amazing stories from the special ops community, but the episodes where he steps out a bit (cartels, psychedelics, ufos, etc.) are awesome as well. Nothing but straight up, incredible stories right from the people who were there. I hope Ep. 100 is a deep dive into Shawn's career!

Amazing stories, great interviews

I've listened to nearly all of the interviews at this point and the stories your guests have to tell are truly amazing. Not only are the interviews entertaining, interesting and thought provoking they are also opening eyes to some hard and widely overlooked subjects. thank you for providing a platform for these people to share their stories. keep it up. you're all doing a great job.

A truly amazing project
