Hello, I just listened to the show about thunder and it was fascinating. I am just curious as to why Holly is on the show, she seems to have no scientific background whatsoever. And her listening skills are nothing to write home about either. Dr. Haase mentioned that lighting travels from the negative field to the positive (which everyone should know regarding currents to begin with), and that the top of the cloud is usually negatively charged. But, later in the podcast Holly asked whether lightning travels from the cloud to the ground or vice versa. I don't mean to be rude, but maybe you guys should get another scientifically competant individual to co-host the show and let Holly do a Spanish podcast maybe. On the other hand, I do see the advantage of a layman being present since we would never have had the discussion of lighting if Holly never asked why it happened. Just my thoughts.
